adventures!!!!!!

cooking for animals is one huge adventure, isnt it? we ended up making a soup for dancer that he loved! it sounds really gross but oh it was yummy! i dont have a name for it yet, so if you could post a comment and tell me what name you like or what you came up with. or you can vote if i make a poll about this.

un-named soup---

1 spearmint candy

5 butterscotch candies

1/2 cup bran

1/4 cup corn meal

1/4 cup corn oil

1 apple, chopped

4-5 cups warm water

fill a pot with 4-5 cups of water. set and stove top and drop in spearmint candy and the butterscotch candies. turn temperature up to high or maximum. stir every few minutes until the candy is totally melted. the water should be a yellowy color and smell yummy. mix in bran, corn meal, oil, and apple. serve to your horse!

hope you liked it!

soup day

sorry if the main focus of this blog is hrose stuff. i can help you guys...sorry if you dont have a horse/pony but i hope its still interesting. so each horse will get a muffin. thats not too bad. the muffins arent too big... or tooo sugary or... the list could go on and on. and i really want to make them a soup to go with their muffin brunch. maybe i will make the soup for our oldest horse dancer. the rest will have to deal with a muffin. and a few mints, too, of course! besides, dancer really does need the extra calories and pampering. he is gettin on in his years, so a treat could help. and i just got that new bottle of corn oil which i have really been wanting to try. these recipes havent been tested yet but they arent baked or anyhting and they dont really need testing. i know the horses will like these. so i am making one for dancer. here they are :0)

munch 'n crunch veggie&fruit stew:

1&3/4 cup warm water

1/4 cup bran

1/4 cup quaker oats

1 apple, sliced

1 carrot, sliced

regular feed

mix warm water, bran, oats apple and carrot. then sprinkle enoguh grain to cover the top about 1/4 inch. serve to horse.

steamy muffin side slurp:

2 cups warmish hottish water

1/4 cup karo syrup

1 carrot, grated

1 apple, grated

1 cup regular feed

dash of corn oil

mix all together and serve warm.

hm thats all i have for today. hope it helps!

friday!!!

i love fridays, dont you? they are just so great! and so the weekend begins...lol! after a long and heated debate on the walk to school, emilie and i have decided on making bran muffin cups for the horses. so here it is. *just to let you kow, all recipes are tested before they are posted. if they arent, you will be notified*

carrot bran cups:

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups bran

1 carrot, grated

2 cups water

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

preheat oven to 350* F and generously grease muffin tin and set aside.

in a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. this hsould form a thick batter/dough. scoop into muffin tins until they are 1/2 to 3/4 full. bake for 25-35 minutes, makes six muffins.

these are so amazing! last time i made them, i got sortof um, "in the moment" and i added 2 extra carrots, and apple and about 1/2 bottle of molassess! it ended up making around 20 muffins! this time i promise promise promise myself to not get crazy and i'll follow the recipe. LOL :D

the horses love the muffins. apparently they were super delish! oh gosh im soooooooo excited!!!!! i get to ride maddie! yay! i always do bareback. its so fun to gallop really fast with out a saddle. and if you fall in the snow, it doesnt hurt. unless theres a rock under the snow or something :(

carrot desert sticks:

2 carrots, halved, and the cut those halfs, in half

1/2 cup molassess

1/2 cup karo syrup

1 cup bran

mix molassess&karo syrup in a bowl. roll carrots slices in this mixture. then roll that in bran. the bran should stick really well. serve to a happy horse! or a sad horse becuase this will make a sad horse happy :)

okay.....

i dont know why it posted twice or even posted at all. sorry :) with that said, im so excited for friday! my friend emilie is coming over and yea im so excited! and on saturday we are going to my barn together!!! yay! before we leave we are going to make tons of cool horse stuff to take them. haha this is going to be so fun. dakota is having bordem issues in the pasture and is destroying the tractor, so we are going to make some toys :D all these recipes/ideas came from "the ultimate guide to pampering your horse" by june v. evers. this is a fantabulous book! so look into buying it...a total must!

jug of oats toy:

clean a plastic milk jug and pour in one cup of oats. cut a tiny hole in the bottom, just enough for one or two kernels to fall out.put the cap on and tie it to the rafter or ceiling beam with bailing twine and let your horse enjoy. dont use a nail becuase he may pull out the nail and get hurt. i think i am going to tie mine the the fence of the pasture, becuase the horses spend about 8 hours out there.

*Jolly balls might be a good toy but our horses never liked them. guess it depends on the horse :D *

let your horse run over traffic cones too:

traffic cones make great toys and your horse will love stomping and chewing and tossing them. use the big rubber kind as opposed to the small plastic kind.

and treats too! how fun! that morning we are making... well im not sure yet. sorry theres no recipe for you! i was just going to take some apples, a few carrots, maybe some animal crackers. too much? i was going to top it off with a few butterscotch treats. keep in mind though, that im serving 3 horses. maybe i will take a few homemade treats though. hmmmm not sure. oh heres an idea! its not tested yet though, so it might not totally work. you can do the honors of experimenting, if you want ;)

dough-a-licous horse yum yums:

5 butterscotch candies, crushed

1/2 cup bran

1/2 cup oatmeal

3/4 cup molassess

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup karo syrup

2 tbsp brown sugar

combine all and roll into balls. bake on a cookie sheet at 2 in. apart for 10 minutes at 350.

if anyone is brave nough to try this, let me know how they come out, if you changed it at all...etc.

thanks,

~pet treat baker

friday is funday
