Archie's Kitchen ~ Parmesan Spinach Cookies

Happy Monday everyone!

It is me...

R-Chee!

My momma and I have been cooking up a storm this morning! 

We have a mountain of savory & healthy cookies for you to enjoy today!

They are super yummy & easy to make for everyone in the family!

In fact, dad has been eating more of them than me today!

At this rate, we are going to have to make a whole separate batch just for me so I can have some too!

This is all I have gotten so far today!

That's ok though!

They are so easy to make that I can make more in a jiffy with momma helping me make the dough.

Do you want to make some with me?

This is all you need to make them at home too...

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cut leaf frozen Spinach
1/2 cup Milk
1 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour or White

1 Egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Allow spinach to warm to room temperature and mix with parmesan cheese, milk and flour until well combined.

Knead dough into ball and roll onto a heavily floured surface (the dough is very sticky) 1/4 inch thick and cut with you cookie cutter of choice. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbled and slightly browned.

Cool and refrigerate.

Makes 1 to 2 dozen cookies

Here is my dough all mixed and rolled out.

I got to cut the first cookie with our cutter!

Now they are on the cookie sheet and ready to go in the oven

Just a few more minutes and I will have a yummy, cheesy batch of my own to enjoy!

Yay! 

They are done!

Mine! 

All Mine!

NOM NOM NOM!

Come on over!

I have a whole plate for you too!

Friday Funnies ~ R-Chee's Temper Tantrum!

Happy Friday everyone!

It is me... 

R-Chee!

Today I thought I would try out a new tactic on helping us doggies get more of what we all want...

Food!

Here I am throwing a TEMPER TANTRUM until I get what I want!

I will let you know how this goes over as soon as my momma's new batch of Shepherd Pies comes out of the oven! :)

Here is the recipe just in case you want your pawrents to make some of these tasty morsels at your house too!

Shepherd's Pie

I N G R E D I E N T S:

1/2 lb ground turkey, beef or chicken
1/8 cup milk
5 small potatoes
1/4 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup shredded carrots

I N S T R U C T I O N S:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Chop potatoes into quarters and boil for about 20 minutes until soft.
Drain pot and mash with milk until creamy.  Set aside.
Spray mini muffin tins with non-stick spray and squish a meatball sized portion into the bottom of each muffin tin.
Sprinkle with peas and carrots.
Scoop a layer of mashed potatoes on top and bake for 20-25 minutes until meat is cooked and potatoes are lightly browned.

Storage:  Refrigerate or freeze unused portions.

Update:

Operation Temper Tantrum failed!

Momma did not reward this behavior!

She just put ear plugs in!

So I thought I would try this... Being adorable!

... and it worked!

Yippeeeee!

Yummy!

Nom! Nom! Nom!

Moral of the story... 

You can attract more bees with honey than vinegar!

Here I am blowing kisses to you!

* Meat and potatoes flying out of puggy's munching mouth*

Have a Super Duper Weekend everyone!

Friday Funnies ~ R-Chee's Pancake Breakfast!

Happy Friday everyone!

Look what I have for us today!

A huge pancake breakfast ready for us to eat!

I even laid out a huge toppings bar for us complete with...

Flavored Syrups

Berries

Whippy Cream

and of course...

Butter!

This is how we will eat them as soon as you get here!

Watch closely as I will demonstrate my technique...

I have been perfecting it all morning!

First you hold the pancake in your paws and lick off all of the toppings so you can put on more before taking the first bite!

This way you can have more than one flavor per pancake!

Spread the flavor and sweet treats to the full limits of your pancake inventory!

That is my motto!

That way you can eat more and cook less!

This = More eating time!

Don't forget to drink your juice in between rounds to clean your palate, or you will look like this!

Ok!

I am ready for round 2!

* Ding! *

Now that we have had 1,000,000,000 pancakes, we can take a nap until lunch!

What should we have?

How about a baked potato bar loaded with all of the toppings!

I will get the bacon!

Just come on in!

No need to knock!

It is going to be an awesome day!

I cannot wait to see you!

Fun Recipe for the Whole Family! ~ Smiling Spuds

Smiling Spuds

I N G R E D I E N T S:

1 Russet potato 

1 egg

1 Cupcake or Muffin Tin

Your favorite grain or rice to decorate faces. 

 (I used Black Rice. :) )

I N S T R U C T I O N S:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Microwave potato 5-7 minutes until soft enough to scoop out center.

Cut about 1/3 of top off. 

Scoop centers out of both side of potato. 

Place large side of hollowed out potato in cupcake or muffin tin and let cool a bit.

When cool, crack in egg.

Place top back on potato.

Bake in oven for about 20 minutes. 

Allow to cool to room temperature, wrap in tin foil and refrigerate for several hours.

Slice the potato with a sharp knife to reveal the perfectly baked egg in the center.

Decorate smiley faces with your favorite edible (dog safe) items. I used Black Rice. :)

Packed with wholesome protein & smiles!

Archie loves them! 4 Paws Up!

R-Chee loved his smiling snack, and I made a whole one for Fred for dinner. :)

This was a FUN recipe that I just made up!

You can be creative with your Smiling Spuds!

Think about all of the possibilities!

You can serve them hot or cold!

 Mash them up with avocado or mayo to make an egg & potato salad for a tangy side dish!

Please let me know if you make some!

I would love to get your reviews!
