DIY Popsicles or Should we Say Pupsicles for Dogs

 Dogs feel the heat like we do, and when we crave a cold treat maybe your dog would love one too!

You can do the basic treats of freezing dog food, or broth, but I found this awesome recipe that your pooch is sure to love, with simple clean ingredients.

What you Will Need for PUPSICLES!!:

1 x large banana cut into pieces

4 x tablespoons peanut butter

4 x cups of plain yogurt ( use the nonfat one if your dog is a bit "pudgy")

Some favourite dog biscuits for the sticks

Popsicle molds or ice cube trays

Method:

Step 1:  Mix all the ingredients (except the biscuits) in a blender or food processor until creamy.

Step 2:  Pour into molds.

Step 3:  Use the dog biscuits as the "stick" for the popsicle.

Step 4:  Freeze overnight or at least 4-5 hours.

Step 5:  Take out of mold and give to your dog to enjoy!  Preferably outside with you so the drips are contained to the outdoors.  

You can change of the ingredients if you prefer other flavours for your dog. You could add crumbled bacon, or take the biscuits and add as a crunch topping before freezing.

Let your poochie enjoy the cool treats on that hot day with PUPSICLES you have made with love.

You can use your ice cube trays, or you can get dog specific molds that can be frozen into dog themed treats below online:

Cool down this summer with some cool treats for you and your best friend!

How to Clean a BBQ Grill Easily

 It's that time of year with the sun out, drinks on the patio and that bbq cooking your favorite foods..  ahhhh summer living!

But after a few meals, that bbq grill tends to build up burnt on food and grime.  You can try and burn it off by keeping the bbq going after you have cooked your food, but that is not super efficient and I find it simply cakes up on the grills.

You could take them inside and use oven cleaner, 

or 

you can use this simple method:

VINEGAR and TIN FOIL

This really works and then there are no fears of harsh chemicals transferring to your next meal.

What You Will Need:

Spray bottle filled with plain white vinegar

Balled up pieces of tin foil.

Method:

1.  When your BBQ is cold, spray white vinegar onto your grill.  

2.  Wait about 15 minutes

3.  Use your balled up tin foil to go back and forth along the grills and you will be amazed at what comes off!

The tin foil is basically your scrubber brush.  Works super well.

Have an awesome summer!
