Breakfast in a post-apocalyptic world
Hey, if the stores are closed and the zombies have shut down the Target, you won’t have access to kibble. Do you know how to cook a healthy meal for your pet? Here’s a great dog-friendly breakfast recipe courtesy of Tasha Ardalan at Foxy Treats:
1 large buttercup squash
5-6 eggs
1/4c broccoli florettes
2tsp nutmeg (Dr V note: there are some reports of nutmeg causing toxicity; you may want to substitute another dog-friendly spice like a small amount of cinnamon)
shredded cheese, any kind
Cut off the stem of the buttercup so that it sits flat when upside down. Cut a hole around the blossom end of the squash (where it starts to look like a turban). Remove the cap and scoop out all of the seeds and “innards, ” leaving just the “meat” of the squash. Par-bake the squash for 30min at 350ºF. Whisk eggs and nutmeg together. While the squash is hot, fill cavity with broccoli and pour eggs into the buttercup. Top with shredded cheese. Replace the cap and bake an additional 25min. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Slice into wedges.
