Pan-Cooked Chicken Recipe (DOG ONLY)

Do you ever think of cooking for your pet?? I did!

Maybe because I love cooking and I just want to find all the excuses I have to cook. And another thing, I love to do is grocery shopping. I can spend hours and hours in there and I will buy random stuffs that I don’t need at all. And my fridge never EMPTY!! Hubby and I always have this problem about how to fit in everything into the fridge but we learned and started not to buy things we don’t need. Means… many trips to the grocery store. Dumper! I need to figure how to use the same ingredients I have in the fridge for a different meals. It’s always fun to explore new things.

Anyways, how I got into cooking for my dogs? Because they always bet for human food and I figure if I cook for them, they will have less anxious about what human food taste like. But I was wrong. They want more and more and I have to cook and cook. Well, different meal okay and I save it for the next post. Dogs are smart! When I asked my dogs what they want to eat; they point it to the stove. Meaning… I want home cook meal, mommy!

So enjoy! And we human definitely can eat theirs too. Surprisingly, it taste better that ours dinner.

Head ache on what to give on Valentine’s? Why not give some cookies?

This recipe is one of my favorites because I love chocolate. And Chocolate is always the best gift on Valentine’s. That’s where I got my idea for this year gift. Yes!

You can make difference shapes as you like and I made it round because it’s easy and for those who don’t bake can do it as well. It is a fun and tasty way to say "I love you", not just for Valentines, but for any day of the year.

Place the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Sift in the flour, cocoa, and baking soda and beat until well mixed.

With damped hands, roll walnut-size pieces of the dough into smooth balls. Place on the baking sheets, spaced well apart.
