Homemade doggy food

Don't be fooled by this yummy looking meal in my crockpot (slow cooker).

Its the dogs food. Every time I cook it Mr. Divine says "Something smells good.

What you cooking?" My reply "Taste it and see."

Here's the recipe

1kg pet mince

1 cup pasta

1 cup rice

*2 (or more) cups vegetables, frozen or fresh*

garlic

water to cover

Put it all in your crockpot and cook on low over night (or all day)

*Usually I keep all my peelings and off cuts of my veges in a bag in the freezer and then when it comes to making the pet food I put those in the crockpot instead of mixed vegetables.

P.S. Cats can eat this too, just not husbands or children. hehe

For your Valentine

WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR YOUR VALENTINE?

My husband (Mr. Divine) and I have a 'NO BUY' policy (apart from a card).

So here's a couple of idea's of other things to give. (Avert your eyes Mr. Divine)

This year I'm making a yummy and easy 'Mars (Moro) Bar Cheesecake'

7oz Digestive biscuits

5oz butter

9oz cream cheese

4 Mars (moro) bars

Chop and melt 3 bars, then beat in cream cheese.

Melt butter and mix in crushed biscuits.

Line a tin with the biscuit mix and pour over mars (moro) mix.

Thinly slice leftover bar and decorate.

Refrigerate.

Last year I got an idea off the Simple Savings Website and gave Mr. Divine a small empty gift box with a tag that read

"Valentines day pajama's. Just your size. Can't wait to see you in them"

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Mr. Divine really liked that gift. I hope he likes this one too.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Soup time

Sometimes I go quite a while without posting.

You see it's because I'm doing all those mundane, normal house stuff that keeps the family fed and clothed. And really, who wants to hear about that.

Like today for instance. I cleaned and tidied etc and I made a yummy vege soup.

So, here is the base I use and then you just chuck in any other vegetables that are going slightly limp/brown.

BASE

x2 large cans (800gm) tomatoes

8 litres water

6 stock cubes or (6 tsp stock powder)

1 onion, diced

ADDED

3 carrots, diced

1/2 a celery, diced

season as desired

Then simmer away for at least an hour, till everything is

soft. Then I blend it with a hand wand.That's it.

Now this does make heaps, so I like to freeze this for lunches during the week.
