I know everyone must be anticipating to find out what I ate on my Blog Anniversary. Let me just say – I was awarded with not a treat but a meal. It was an unexpected Pawlicious meal.
Before I share my yummy meal, I would like to thank everyone – all my friends and followers especially from blogger, facebook, twitter and dogster. Your continued kind wishes and support makes me very happy and motivates me to share life as Sugar the Golden Retriever.Gratitude to everyone. Lots of Golden Thanks.
So here it is .. Oh wait! I have to share how this meal come about. My mom has ben very conscious on the kind of foods I eat due to my allergies and since I’m getting older. In general, she just wants me to be a happy and healthy dog. Since, mom loves to cook treats for me, my friends Frankie and Olive’s mom gave me this book. “The Good Food Cookbook for Dogs”
Lots of Golden Thanks to Frankie, Olive and their mom, Lisa. LOVE the book and for sure my mom will be making lots more meals and treats.
Chicken n Rice Stew is what I had. Mom did a modification on the recipe (which she recommends especially if you are not comfortable on the ingredients stated on the recipe). It was a very appropriate meal for fall weather. The combination of chicken and rice was surely soothing ingredients for my tummy.
Please note that this recipe meal is meant to mix with your dry food meal. Just like any recipe, make the necessary modification of ingredients and cooking process. My mom’s recipe modification are stated on red text. Here’s the recipe. Enjoy!
