Dog Ice Cream

My dogs are fans of Frosty Paws brand of dog ice cream but this is much cheaper with none of the chemicals or preservatives.  The yogurt is very low in lactose so they have NO problems eating it. Our panel of experts below, gave the dish a "paws up".

Dog Ice Cream

32 oz. Plain Yogurt

1 banana

2 TBS peanut butter

2 TBS honey.

Mix all of the ingredients in a blender until smooth, then pour in ice cube trays or small paper cups (or even a kong toy). You can make it in an automatic ice cream maker if you wish.

Cold Melon Soup

We recently found this soup and think it's great in part because it's so easy to make! Perfect for the summer.

Cold Melon Soup

4 Cups honeydew melon cut into small cubes

4 tsp lime juice

2 tsp honey

1 cup nonfat, vanilla yogurt

In blender, combine melon, lime juice and honey. Blend until smooth. Pout into bowl and add yogurt. Beat with a wire whisk until blended. Chill several hours. Serve cold. Whisk before serving. Serves 4.

Scalloped Corn

My grandmother and my mother made creamed corn when I was growing up and this is close so I have to include it. To be honest, I never cared for it but the recipe list wouldn't be the same without it.

Scalloped Corn

2 cups corn

2 TBS butter

1 ¼ tsp salt

3 eggs

1 ½ cups milk

1 tsp sugar

Combine the ingredients, folding in well beaten eggs last, pour into casserole and bake in moderate oven until custard sets. Serve hot, may be served as meat substitute.

Corn Flake Kisses

Here's another recipe from my great-grandmother's cookbook in her own handwriting!

Corn Flake Kisses

3 egg white

3 cups corn flakes

½ cup granulated sugar

1 cup shredded coconut

1 tsp vanilla

Beat egg whites stiff and dry, then add them to sugar, coconut and corn flakes. Drop by teaspoonful on buttered tins and brown in a very slow overn.

Tips

            - I’m guessing that a very slow over would be 300°.
