Milk-Bone Holiday Biscuits Treats for Dogs and Puppies Reviewed

Milk-Bone Holiday Biscuits Treats for Dog
I recently discovered Milk-Bone Holiday Treats for puppies!  I was so excited to find these adorable treats for our new puppy.  He deserves something special for the holidays, just like everyone else.

The Milk-Bone holiday treats come in a collectible, reusable tin.  The treats themselves are shaped like stockings, Christmas trees and dog bones with "engraved" hearts.  They are also colored in green, red and the bones are the traditional brown.  Perfect for a special gift for a special dog or puppy.

Our puppy is 15 weeks old and he received his Christmas Milk-Bone treats in the specialty tin, the day after Thanksgiving.  He loves them and we love the size.  They are small enough for even a puppy to enjoy. 

I'm not sure if I will save the tin just for Christmas use, or if I will refill it with regular puppy Milk-Bones when it is empty.  I do know I will reuse the decorative tin for doggy treats.

The tin is available for a limited time only.  I hope that means the Milk-Bone brand will continue to have an annual tin.  What fun they would be to give each year for Christmas to all of our puppy friends.

 

The Milk-Bone Holiday Treats

The shaped Milk-Bones in this tin are suitable for all ages, from puppy to senior.  I wasn't sure if the shapes would matter to the pups or simply entertainment for us, but I have noticed that our baby dog seeks out the red stockings.  Will that continue?  I don't know, but it makes for a fun doggy game to see which one of the 3 shapes he will choose first.

  • Helps Clean Teeth
  • Freshens Breath 
  • 12 Vitamins and Minerals 

Another fun game for the humans in a puppies life would be to guess the count of treats in the holiday tin.  We did count ours just for fun and discovered there are/were 148 treats in our puppy's 24 ounce tin.

Spice Tea Recipe Shared and Reviewed

Spice Tea Recipe
My Award Winning Spice Tea Recipe

We could all use a moment of relaxation with a cup of spice tea, especially during the busiest time of the year. 

The holidays are often hectic and tiring, but in the end they are always filled with wonderful memories. Each year my family gathers together for the festivities. Since my siblings and their families live in different states of the US, there is a lot of travel involved, a lot of planning and a lot of cooking. My mother leads the pack and tries very hard to coordinate everyone and everything. Sometimes just finding a bed for everyone can be challenging. I am the only one of my parents' children who still lives in our hometown so I am frequently honored with guests. 

With so many people around and so much going on for days, my sister and I seek out moments to slip away from the crowd and sip tea, giggle and share the latest gossip. A pillow fight is definitely not out of the question. Occasionally our mother, my daughter or a sister-in-law will join us, but this little meeting always begins with me, my sister and a cup of tea. 

It is with this cherished time together in mind, that I wish to share our Spice Tea Recipe with you. I hope you find a few moments to slip away with a loved one and share a cup of tea. 

 

Award Winning Spice Tea Recipe

Prep Time    Ready In Yields
  10 min      10 min                           Approx. 50 ~ Depends on tea strength per cup


Ingredients
 

Hot Spice Tea Recipe Ingredients
  • 2 - 27 oz. Jars of Orange Drink (like Tang) 
  • 12 oz. Lemonade dry mix (like Countrytime) 
  • 1 cup Instant Tea 
  • 2 cups Sugar 
  • 1 teaspoon Cloves 
  •  2 teaspoon Cinnamon 

 

Instructions 

Simply mix everything together. Add 2 teaspoons of tea mix to 1 cup of hot water for one lovely cup of hot tea. 

Just remember, if you are using a mug, it will require approx. 3 teaspoons of tea to make a tantalizing cup of tea. 

Store in an air-tight container

 

An Easy Gift 

Simply fill a canning jar, an empty jelly jar or any small container with Spice Tea. If you are using a canning jar, cut a square of material with pinking shears and cover the top of the jar. 

You may also want to include a recipe card with the recipe for the recipient.  I know I always appreciate a new recipe. 

Voila! A delicious and easy gift!

Pretty Canning Jars 

Select a pretty jar for your Spice Tea gift. I actually really like this Bormioli Rocco Fido Latch Canning Jar, not only because it is attractive, but because it has a tight seal to seal in freshness so the spice tea will last longer.

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow 

spice tea in a jar
After several days of company, we are all usually exhausted and in need of a long winters nap. I always like to send treats home with my guests and packing some of the remaining tea is just the right thing. When they get back home and have that moment to unwind, then they can fix a cup of Spice Tea and allow the fragrance of the tea to return them to the memory of our time together. 

The jar pictured on the right, is the container that held the original gift of Spice Tea given to me by my sister 35+ years ago. The tea is long since gone, but the refillable container and the memory remains.

Each year I refill this little jar and hide it as my personal reserve!

 

Contest Award  

I entered this recipe in the Squidoo Website Thanksgiving Cookoff (for Charity). It was one of the contest winners, therefore the charity I support, National Wildlife Federation's Alaska Regional Center, received $1000

I hope you enjoy -- and if you do, don't be shy, spread the word!

 

Acknowledgement Letter from $1000 recipient, National Wildlife Federation Alaska

Mom's Homemade Cornbread Recipe Shared & Reviewed

homemade cornbread recipe
My Mom's cornbread recipe is still our family's traditional cornbread recipe.  It is very easy to mix together, yet consistently makes a delicious cornbread whether sliced or broken up for our holiday dressing.

Boxed cornbread mix, like cake mixes, has become popular because they are so convenient.  I would make the argument that once you add the oil, milk and egg into the box mix contents, you are already most of the way through the recipe to making a homemade cornbread.  We can definitely taste the difference.  Most boxed cornbread mixes have sugar in them.  We do not add sugar to our cornbread.

I am sharing my Mom's cornbread recipe below.  You can see for yourself that it really is just as easy to mix together as a box mix and a lot less expensive than many of the cornbread mixes on the market.

One note, Mom uses Pearl Milling brand and I use Martha White brand, but they taste the same to us.  If you want a sweeter taste, you can add a pinch of sugar to Mom's recipe.

 

Mom's Cornbread Recipe
Made in a 10.25" Cast Iron Skillet or 9" x 9" Baking Pan

Preheat the oven on 400° 

  • 2 Cups of Martha White or Pearl Milling White Corn Meal Mix - neither of these basic cornmeals have sugar added   
  • 2 Tablespoons Self-rising Flour
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup of Milk

Stir all together to a cake batter consistency

Cover the bottom of the skillet with vegetable oil and heat it in the oven for about 3 minutes.  The oil will be very hot, so be careful 

Pour the oil into the mixture  (it may sizzle a bit as it touches the cold batter)

Stir the oil into the mixture, then pour the mixture into the hot skillet

Bake on 400° for 20 minutes

Make sure the cornbread is cooked completely by inserting a toothpick in the center.  If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done.  If not, cook for a few more minutes. 

 

I am sharing the Martha White Corn Meal Mix below for you to see, but it will be much cheaper in the grocery store than it is on Amazon. I do use my grandmother-in-law's cast iron skillet, but I purchased a Lodge cast iron dutch oven that is totally awesome. Therefore, I am comfortable recommending the Lodge cast iron skillet below if needed.

Kong Wubba Toys for Puppies

Kong Wubba for Puppies
Our Baby Watson Loves His Wubba

Our older dogs have always loved their Wubbas!  

When we recently decided to bring home a 10 week old puppy, my husband went shopping for puppy toys immediately.  Much to his delight, he discovered there are Kong Wubba toys made just for puppies.  Of course, he brought a small Wubba home for our puppy to celebrate his first day with us.  

We have now found that puppies love a small Wubba as much as older dogs love big Wubbas. 

Like human babies, puppies are precious, beautiful and easily lovable.  Puppies are also high energy and require a lot of playtime, which means a multitude of size/age appropriate toys.  If you don't provide the toys, they will find play pretties everywhere around your home.  Things like cords, socks, couch cushions, shoes, shoe laces, shirt buttons, or anything within their reach is too attractive for them to ignore.  

Keep in mind, puppies, like babies, are teething and they need to be chewing on something constantly.  Just looking around my kitchen, you might think I am spoiling our new puppy because he has at least 8 new toys suitable for puppy chewing on the floor.  When he tires of playing with one, he will grab a different one and chew until he tires of the feel of it in his mouth.  If he gets too bored, toes could easily become his next prey and those sharp, little teeth are truly like needles sticking you in 5 places at once.

His first toy turned out to be his favorite toy.  A brand new puppy-size Wubba!  It squeaks, it has flappy tails, and it makes the best catch toy.  


The Kong Wubba Toy for Puppies

 Kong Wubba Assorted Colors PuppyCheck PriceOne of the things I like best about the Kong Wubba is its strong, durable, washable fabric.  Puppies, and dogs, play hard.  Wubba often end up landing in water puddles or even mud.  Puppy toys must be washable. 

The small size shown on the right is the perfect size for a puppies mouth.  They would not be able to fit the larger Wubba (head) in their mouth for chewing or catching.

The flapper "legs" are shorter on the small Wubba too which allows the puppy more control over his toy and the Wubba is not oversized for him to easily carry.

One note of interest, Watson takes his Wubba to bed with him every night.  If he wakes up during the night, he has his favorite chew toy right next to him for night chewing as well as a comfortable companion.

Christmas Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe

Turning an Old Standard Cookie Recipe into Christmas Cookies

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are my husband's favorite cookies so, of course, our Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe must be included in the holiday baking.

I use my mother's recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, but I have pulled out my treasure trove of cookie cutters to make the traditional, nondescript cookie into a pretty Christmas cookie.

I did not change the recipe, I just changed the presentation, making the traditionally plain, exceptionally beautiful. 

No only do children like the cute shapes, but adults do too.  They are perfect for Christmas parties and gatherings. 

 

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup Softened Butter
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 3 cups Quaker 1-minute Oats - Uncooked
  • 1 cup Raisins

Instructions 

  1. Pre-heat the Oven to 375° 
  2. Beat together Butter, Brown Sugar, Sugar and Egg until well blended 
  3. Stir in Vanilla 
  4. Add All Purpose Flour, Baking Soda, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Quaker Oats. 
  5. Stir together until well mixed. 
  6. Stir in Raisins By hand
  7. Pat out part of the mixture onto a plate or onto wax paper 
  8. Using the cookie cutters, cut out cookies and lay on an ungreased cookie sheet 
  9. Bake for 8 or 9 minutes

Note: Do not overcook. Cookies will be soft when you first remove them from the oven and will harden as they cool.

Yukon Quest by Tracie Peterson Reviewed

Yukon Quest
Yukon Quest by Tracie Peterson is a great trilogy that I can highly recommend!

I love to read.  You could even say I am passionate about reading. As soon as I finish one book, I start another. I purchase books by the dozen just to make sure I am never without a book. Hmm, sounds a bit like an addiction even.

As an avid reader, I am always looking for a good book. Over the years, I have become more selective about what I will read. Just because it makes the bestsellers' list does not mean it will make my list. I do not care to read books that are sexually explicit or depict graphic violence. I see enough of that on the nightly news. While I do not read Christian Fiction exclusively, I do tend to prefer the books in that genre.

 

My Personal Review of The Yukon Quest Trilogy 

When I read the trilogy, "Yukon Quest" by Tracie Peterson. I found it intriguing; at times, perhaps even riveting. The stories are about the trials and hardships faced by three women trying to survive in Alaska during the gold rush. Surrounded by greed, lust, cruelty, deception and lies, these women are each challenged to maintain and defend their decency and faith.

I enjoyed the historical aspects as well as the romantic aspects of each of these books. I am captivated by the beauty and awe of Alaska and I would love to visit that breathtaking state. However, I would not desire to visit under the conditions of the 1800's.

One word of advice, you will not want to finish book 1 until you have book 2 in you possession.

 

Three Excellent Books!

About the Author ~ Tracie Peterson 

One of my favorite authors!

Many of her books are published by Bethany House. She originally used the pen name of Janelle Jamison.  Peterson has published over 60 novels.

How to Decorate Snowman Cupcakes Reviewed

How to Decorate Snowman Cupcakes
I always enjoy making special treats during the holidays. These little Snowman cupcakes are perfect for Christmas, or really any winter celebration. 

The snowman cupcakes are pretty easy, and definitely a whole lot of fun, to decorate. You could even let the kids decorate them! 

Lots of family fun with these little guys!

I originally saw a picture of some snowman cupcakes in the Holiday Cupcakes book featured below. I thought they were adorable and when challenged, I couldn't resist making them. However, let me warn you now, I never do anything strictly by the instructions. I have made several changes to the original decorating directions in the book.

My family loves Coconut cake, but if you have a guest who can not eat coconut, I have included an alternative for them too.

How to Begin Your Snowman Cupcakes 

white cupcakes
Since this article is about decorating the cupcakes, we are going to start with the cupcakes already baked, cooled and ready for decorating.

One note about cooking your cupcakes, remember the miniature cupcakes for the face only require about 8 min. to bake. Use a toothpick to determine exact length of baking time. When a toothpick poked in the center of the cupcake comes out clean, the cupcake is ready. 

 

Tip for Baking White Cupcakes

When I am baking white cupcakes, I only use the egg whites and discard the yokes. This keeps the cupcake a purer white color. If your recipe calls for 3 whole eggs, use 4 egg whites instead. 

 

Ingredients Needed for Snowman Cupcakes

  • Large Cupcakes ~ White
  • White Miniature Cupcakes
  • White Frosting
  • Coconut ~ I used Angel Flake packaged Coconut
  • Coconut Milk from a Coconut (See Directions Below)
  • Candy for Decoration
  • *Chocolate Wafer Cookies for the Hat
  • *Melting Chocolate for Top Hat Assembly (I use Make 'n Mold Candy Wafers)
  • Ribbon for Scarf
  • Toothpicks
  • * See Candy and Cookie suggestions under Step by Step Decorating Photos

 

Draining the Coconut ~ Step 1 

tools needed to drain a coconut

Draining the milk from a coconut is easy with the right tools.

Simply use a sterilized Phillips-head screwdriver and a hammer or mallet. Place the screwdriver on the eye of the coconut and hammer through the shell and the fruit to the milk. You will feel the point where you have broken through to the milk. The screwdriver will move easily at that point. 

How to Drain the Milk from a Coconut

Usually, I sit flat on the concrete walk or floor with the coconut between my knees and hammer the holes. However, this morning my dad came over and preformed this task so I could take pictures for you.

You will need to puncture at least two of the three eyes of the coconut.

Turn the coconut upside down over a coffee cup and let it drain. There will be some coconut shell residue that settles in the bottom of the coffee cup. Simply spoon it or strain it out leaving the milk free of debris.

Step by Step Instructions ~ Preparing the Baked Cupcake for Decoration

Step 1: Drain milk from real coconut

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, pour coconut milk on Angel Flake coconut and stir together.* (I actually use my hands to mix together)

Step 3: Frost baked white cupcakes with white frosting.

Step 4: Cover each iced cupcake with prepared coconut and gently press the coconut into the frosting with the palm of your hand. You will want the coconut to be pressed firmly into place when you decorate.

Step 5: At this point, I like to refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 1 hr. before I decorate them. This is not necessary, but it gives me a needed break in the process and allows everything to set before I start playing with it.

*If you ask me why I add coconut milk to my Angel Flake coconut, my only answer would be because my mother and my grandmother before her, did it that way and their coconut cakes are exceptional!

Step by Step Instructions ~ Assembling and Decorating Snowman Cupcakes 

Decorate the Snowman's Face and Body While He is Laying on His Back

Step 1: Join 1 large cupcake to one small cupcake with a toothpick by gently inserting the toothpick into each cupcake.*

Step 2: Tie ribbon around the neck of the snowman

Step 3: Add Eyes, Nose and Mouth. You will need to press the candy pieces into the actual frosting. I cleared the area of coconut to be able to set the mouth in place.

Step 4: Add Buttons down the Body

Step 5: Make Hat, if desired. I made the top hat by adhering the bite size piece of licorice on the York mint with melting chocolate.

Step 6: Set Snowman up and set his hat on his head. You will need to use melting chocolate or half of a toothpick to attach the hat to his head.

*Toothpicks are not always easy to stick through the cupcake liners. I used an embroidery needle to stick through the paper and start the hole for the toothpick.

Displaying Snowman Cupcakes 

When you display Snowman Cupcakes, you will want to use extra coconut around their base, as pictured, to give them stability.

Foil Cupcake Baking Cups 

When I am decorating cupcakes, I prefer to use Foil Cupcake Baking Cups. They come with the white liner cup that you normally see sold separately. I bake the cupcakes in both cups. You do not want to separate the two cups until you have finished decorating the cupcake.

The foil cups gives me stability while I decorate. When I am ready to display or serve the cupcakes, I simply remove the outer foil cup.

From Boo Boo to Woo-hoo!

snowman cupcake
This was my first snowman cupcake of the day. I tried to decorate him while he was standing up. He fell over and the small cupcake broke in half.

I felt so sorry for this brave little snowman, that I scraped off his frosting, set the small cupcake on top of the large cupcake. I frosted him again and re-decorated him. I then placed him in the refrigerator.

When my son came home and saw him, he laughed and declared that he looked like a melting snowman. Then he said, "well, actually, he is my favorite!"

So, I share my "boo boo" turned "woo-hoo" with you.

So, what do you think.  Is the little repaired snowman, oh so cute or still a flop?
