Happy Valentine’s Day: Bronuts Edition

February 14, 2011 by Dr. V

Ever since I bought the original doggie donut for Emmett back in the day, I've been trying to figure out how to reproduce the results. Donut in shape but granola in texture, crunchy, dog-friendly perfection. I've done zucchini donuts and banana donuts and granola bars, but this latest incarnation is my closest yet to perfection. Here's how: ... Read more »

Have Blendtec, will veg

February 7, 2011 by Dr. V

I have decided, after a bit of time off the wagon, that I again need to re-commit to a vegetarian diet. I did it once for a year, felt great, then got lazy, overcompensated with pasta and unhealthy stuff, and just decided to throw in the towel. But I didn't feel good about it. I did it for health, yes, but also because I wanted to make a more conscientious choice about what I eat. I wanted to avoid contributing to factory farming and the multitude of ills it visits upon the world. Finding ... Read more »

Well thank God that’s all over

December 27, 2010 by Dr. V

Christmas is a bit of a surreal experience for me. That is by design. I was brought up in a house that transformed the day after Thanksgiving from a normal abode to a tinsel-filled glittery elftravaganza of kitsch, Rudolph figurines, and a sudden lifting of the No Sugar After 4 pm Rule. In short, December was magic. Now that I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old, I'm beginning to understand why my mom worked as hard as she did to create that. It is kind of awesome to see a little kid shriek in ... Read more »

WE HAVE VIDEO!! Iron Chef Pawcurious is LIVE!

November 13, 2010 by Dr. V

We now interrupt our regularly scheduled blogging to bring you the long awaited infamous CAT LITTER EATING POST. I ate cat litter. I made up recipes. I filmed it on video since Ustream wouldn't work. In hi def (ugh) I had to edit it because YouTube won't load anything over 10 minutes. It still needs more editing, but that will take several days. I even added a jingle. A JINGLE! If that isn't worth a couple bucks donation I don't know what else to do. I am too old to go for ... Read more »

The Pawcurean Presents: Peach Gobblers

September 17, 2010 by Dr. V

It's been a heavy sort of week. Lots of seriousness and such in these parts. And though I have perhaps just a little more I should be saying, I'll wait until next week because I think everyone could use some frivolity to lead into the weekend, yes? I had a large box of produce I needed to use up this week, including a big handful of some truly delectable looking peaches. I had an epic fail earlier in the week with my Pawcurean Beety Treaties which failed to convince both humans and dogs that ... Read more »

The Pawcurean: Sweet Potato Salad

August 25, 2010 by Dr. V

I think we spend so much time panicking about what not to feed our pets that we're forgetting to focus on what they should be eating. Well, that's the million dollar question, isn't it? What should my dog be eating? It's not an answer you'll get a lot of agreement upon. In fact, if you're into trolling internet chat rooms and like to see bloody melees, I highly recommend going to a raw diet message board and posting how Old Roy rocks. Or vice versa. This is a topic people get downright ... Read more »

Baking With Brody: Doggie Donuts!

August 10, 2010 by Dr. V

Today's recipe comes to you courtesy of one of my favorite blogs to peruse, Doggy Dessert Chef. You could easily spend days there perusing and making new treats for your pup! I found Tennille's site while looking for the holy grail of dog treats- at least in my book- the doggy donut. I love doggy donuts so much I am going to try to photograph an entire series of donuts on dog noses. As you will see at the end of this post, that may be harder than it looks, but we had fun trying. I adapted ... Read more »

The Pawcurean: Frosty Paws at home!

July 27, 2010 by Dr. V

It's hard to tell from the gloomy grey skies outside, but theoretically, it's the height of summer. That means grilling corn, runny popsicles, and coming up with ways to help the fur-bearing house dwellers beat the heat. Linda over at the 7MSN Ranch sent me a link to her blog post detailing a way to make a homemade version of Frosty Paws, which I have shamelessly replicated here. Even if you don't want to make Frosty Paws, you should go check her blog out. It is awesome. It has a lot more types ... Read more »

Baking With Brody

June 4, 2010 by Dr. V

I didn't actually set out to do a cooking segment here, but about halfway into birthday cake production I decided it needed to be documented, so there you go. Unfortunately I didn't come to this realization until the cake was already baked, but at least I got to photograph the fun part: decorating! Cake decorating is kind of like surgery, sort of. You need knives, precision, and someone else to help clean up the mess. It is a match made in heaven. I started with the recipe for Peanut ... Read more »
