Homemade Tuna Cat Treats

This is my first time making a treat for the cats. Usually, I make homemade treats for our dogs. But today, today we are making homemade tuna cat treats. It's a simple recipe. Just 3 ingredients. I felt like the most challenging part of this recipe was finding a cookie cutter that was small enough.  And depending on your cat you may have to break these up even smaller. Jinx will nibble on these as is but Ellie requires them to be broken up into small pieces. To make a batch of this homemade ...

Bite Size Taco Salads

I have another bite-size eat that is perfect for game day! These bite-size taco salads are great for gatherings. They are also fun for tea parties with preschoolers or birthday parties. But I always serve them on game day because they are grab-and-go food. Now there are several ways you can make these. You can make a whole tray ahead of time so people can just grab and go or you can set it up like a mini taco salad bar. It's all up to you. To make some bite size taco salad you will need the ...

Bacon Cheeseburger Ring

It is almost time for all the high school and college tournaments to start!  Now is the time to start thinking about what your gang will be snacking on while they watch every game. This bacon cheeseburger ring is great for feeding a hungry crowd. You can make most of it ahead of time then pop it in the oven when the games start.  We also like this bacon cheeseburger ring because it can be customized. Don't like bacon? Or do you want a lot of bacon? That's ok, just put what you would like in the ...
