A full oven

 

I wanted to make some sweet potato dog chews.  They take at least 2 and a half hours in a low temp oven so I thought I might as well fill it if it's on that long.

Dunno if they're worth the effort and expense of the oven being on that long though!  Next time I'll just try dehydrating them.  But both dogs love them!! 

I made a rice pudding with oat milk and brown sugar.  Doesn't look very photogenic but it's absolutely delicious! 😋

I chucked in some potatoes to bake plus a leftover sweet potato.

And I made a potatoes boulangere!  Also absolutely delicious with plenty of leftovers to freeze.

I also made butter and started a sourdough loaf to bake tomorrow morning.  It's been a busy day! 😊

  1. Wow-what a satisfying day! I’m making samples for my craft class as I have a few ideas I need to try before I organise the resources to make them. Catriona

  3. I like to parboil my veggies a bit ( or microwave ) so they need less time baking.Usually aim for less than 1 hr in max temp to have the "fried" taste.

  4. How productive! I make my own dog treats…have done since Nigel was a puppy 6 years ago. The recipe I use is Carrot and Apple dog treats by the Reluctant Entertainer. I don’t roll out the dough but use scissors to snip rough treat size pieces. I omit the sugar!
    They do take longer than stated to bake/dry out but I make a large batch and freeze them.
    Anything to save a bit of cash!😉

    1. I bought some dog bone cutters ages ago so will be making a lot more healthy treats to help with training the wild Luna!! They're definitely cheaper than buying them :-) xxx

  5. All this talk of dog treats and chews is very timely for us, we've been totting up how w much we spend on these and most have dodgy ingredients. Thanks for the ideas

    2. I tried the apple and carrot treats as mentioned above. They are great, I did leave out the sugar and add in some dog safe peanut butter ( just a large dessert spoon) the dogs love them.

  6. I bet the house smelled lovely while all this was cooking, and the kitchen would be lovely and warm too, so it was heat very well used.
