HEALTHY BUT DELICIOUS DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES
Only two ingredients in this recipe, devil's food cake mix and canned pumpkin. Sounds like it wouldn't be very good but it is! These cupcakes turn out moist and are surprisingly chocolatey tasting, you barely detect the pumpkin taste at all. And because there's no oil or eggs they are a healthy alternative to your typical cupcake. Make sure to use pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling! You could also add chocolate chips, nuts, etc. to pep these up a little.

HEALTHY FOOD CHRISTMAS TREE, FOR ANY TIME OF YEAR !
I was looking for inspiration for a veggie tray and saw a photo on the Net that got me thinking. From there I devised my own variation and here it is :) Use any cheeses that can be cut into blocks (preferably of different colours for contrast) For instance, I used Westfriese kruidenkaas(a herb cheese), Cantenaar(a yellow mature cheese) and a mild white goats cheese. All measurements are approximate because it depends entirely on how many you are serving and how large you make your "tree". Serve with a pot of toothpicks so that your guest can select their pieces of choice. Excellently healthy for a party crowd and great addition for those of us trying to make our nibbles a little healthier.

Steps:
- Line a flat tray with foil.
- Cut all of the cheese into bite sized cubes.
- Wash and drain well,the bell peppers, mint and tomatoes and carrot. Slice the peppers into small strips and place each colour together in a pile.
- Roughly slice the mint leaves.
- Peel the carrot and cut into matchsticks.
- Place a few pieces of cubed cheese in the centre bottom of the tray (this is the "trunk" of your "tree").
- In order to achieve the Christmas Tree effect ,the broadest row will be at the bottom of the try and each successive row will be shorter on each end so that the whole three is more or less the shape of a triangle with a very narrow top.
- Place a full row of cheese cubes directly above this and then a row of mint, a row of tomatoes, a row of carrots, a row of white cheese, a little mint, a row of yellow pepper, a row of tomatoes, a row of cheese, a row of green pepper, a row of tomato, a row of mint carrot, and finially a tiny row of red pepper.
- NOTE: it's possible to carefully pile each row upwards evenly so that they are more or less the same height and the layers are not too thin.
- To finish, cut a round marshmellow in half, and just using one half, and with a sharp knife, cut small wedges all the way around it so that it resembles a star. Place the the top of the "tree" on top of the red bell pepper strips.
- before serving drizzle a few drops of olive oil (and lemon juice if prefered) over the vegetable sections of the tree, or serve with the dip of your choice.
HEALTHY DOG STEW-COMFORT FOOD FOR YOUR FIDO!
So, our boys decided they HATE store bought food. We tried so many things and always found they wouldn't eat after a few meals of whatever food we could find in the store for time. We decided to give homemade food a try because they began to lose a lot of weight from not eating. We have found that we really enjoy this bonding...

Steps:
- 1. Put bones in a large stock pot and boil in water. (This will make a nice bone broth for your Fido). Boil for 45 minutes -1 hour. Remove the bones, set the broth aside.
- 2. Peel the Sweet Potato, then cut into bite size pieces.
- 3. Chunk the Chicken Breasts into bite size pieces and toss into a large crock pot.
- 4. Drain the beans into a strainer and rinse well with water. (This will reduce the sodium level in the beans), then dump the beans in the crock pot.
- 5. Next, dump the rest of your veggies, rice, raw chicken livers and bone broth into the crock pot.
- 6. In a skillet, ground the turkey (Turkey is optional), then place the ground turkey into the crock pot.
- 7. Cook on high in the crock pot for approximately 8 hours or until the rice is tender.
- 8. Once the stew is ready, crack the eggs and stir into mixture. You can crush the egg shells into the mixture for added calcium. I usually rinse the egg shells, bake them and place in a blender to make a powder to add. either way is fine.
- 9. Allow the egg to cook for an additional 15 minutes.
- 10. Scoop out to set some aside to cool and sit back and watch your pups drool over their much anticipated dinner. This will make multiple servings. We measure out 1 cup and place into zip lock bags and freeze.
