Frozen ‘Pup-sicle’ Bites

I’m a bit of a crazy dog mom. From making sure Summit gets enough off-leash time in the morning, to belly rubs at night, I just want the best for our little pup.

This is especially true when it comes to his health and diet.

Before we brought Summit home, I did extensive research into the best diets for dogs and let me tell you, not only is there an abundance of information out there but also a ton of conflicting opinions. After scouring through all the information we could find and consulting our vet, Tim and I ultimately decided that feeding Summit a whole and balanced diet, with real, fresh foods mixed in would be best. Besides, if Tim and I are eating wholly why shouldn’t he?

While Summit does still get the occasional “kibble” (he’s been on Nutro brand since he was a pup), his food bowl is mainly comprised of Ollie, eggs, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Since I also only typically give him organic treats, I’ve started experimenting more and more with making my own! For this past round, I decided to make frozen ‘pup-sicle’ bites and boy, oh boy does Summit eat these up!

To make these I combined 3/4 cup peanut butter with 6 fresh strawberries and one banana in my Magic Bullet. I also added a little less than 1/4 cup of water to help make it easier to pour the mixture into the silicone molds (you could also use beef or chicken stock if you have it handy, I just happened to be out). I let them set overnight and bam! not only a super easy recipe but Summit absolutely loves them!

Another pro?! You really could test any flavor combos your dog loves. Summit’s been really into blueberries and watermelon as of late, so I might just have to try those next!

This mixture filled my molds, which you can find on Amazon and yielded 44 little bites.

Hope they enjoy!

March 12, 2021

I always knew I wanted to be a mom and that I’d love my potential future children with all my heart… what I didn’t know was how big my heart would grow when you came into this world.

This past year was not at all what we imagined and at the same time SO much more. While we were gleefully hopping the ferry to the hospital, the world was declaring a global pandemic.

You haven’t met your Great Grandmother, Great Uncles and Aunts, or some of our very best friends (your pseudo aunts and uncles), BUT you did get to live with both sets of your grandparents and have grown up with your very best friend and biggest cheerleader (aka Hannah) by your side- memories for which we’re so thankful.

Thanks to Etsy I was able to spend everyday of the first 6 months of your life with you, time I couldn’t have valued more… and thanks to Ms. Jenah, Ms. Gracie, Ms. Samantha, and Ms. Kelcey have somehow been okay leaving you every weekday, knowing you’re in the very best of hands. 

You’ve brought so much joy and happiness into so many people’s lives, most of all my own and I’m so amazed by you each and every day. 

You’re so capable, kind, smart, loving, funny, and exactly who you are supposed to be... and we love you with all of our growing hearts.

They say it takes a village and we’re beyond grateful for ours.

My due date...
Not Aveline’s birth date
I was hopeful she would come early or at least on the day but instead it happily came and went. If I didn’t have to be induced on the 11th who knows when she would have decided to make her grand entrance.
Anyway... Tim and I have been looking through photos of when she was first born and I realized this is the last photo I have pregnant and not on a ferry 😂 but we can save that story for tomorrow
