…… cook for your dog!

A’s growing up to be quite the fussy eater! I fear she’s learnt that there are more yummy things out there than kibbles. So after one week of A picking at her food, we decided to change her over to home-cooked food. First up was gathering recipes and cookbooks from our friends, then off to the supermarket. We decided to go with the cookbook with simpler instructions and preparation first since I’m far from a gourmet chef and we hardly even have time to cook for ourselves anymore these days.

A’s first home-cooked dinner was pasta with minced pork, tomatoes, long beans and grated parmesan cheese. And, boy, she loved her new food! Since then, we’ve tried some other recipes like fish with rice and asparagus; chicken with potatoes, peaches and grated carrots; and chicken with rice, barley and long beans. We even tried to bake some peanut butter cookies for her. In fact, I think it's my first attempt at baking cookies. Hahaha, so the cookies turned out just too big to be bite-sized and really quite bland to the human palate, but strangely, she lapped it up. For all the effort put in cooking for her, it has really been gratifying to watch her finish up all her food and licking her bowl clean.
