I’m Bringing Pumpkin Back … Oh yeah & it’s sexy (oh yeah I went there)

Hehe ok So I just had to Bring Sexy back … Ok I’m done it’s been one of those weekends and I’m a little loopy so bare with me .

So I was in need to make dog biscuits and came across one with pumpkin and unless I wanted to make a quadruple batch I need to find another recipe to use the rest of the pumpkin. So I found a treat for us and for the pup!

I made these Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog treats that Jake just LOVES.

And for the left over pumpkin I found this yummy recipe at my favorite website Skinny Taste for this Pumpkin Banana Bread.

Happy Monday everyone I hope you and your pup enjoy these treats!

St. Patty's Day Idea's (Round Robin Idea)

As you all know I love to make gifts for friends and family. I love to send a surprise to my bosses and St. Patty's day was my newest Holiday to explore the homemade gifts :). I also make a few of these for my secret sister at church.

You know my love of gifts in a jar! I found this one on my favorite website Organized Christmas they have the best ideas and give you printable gift tags!

And to support my Irish Friend this is the perfect gift to send them Irish Soda Bread in a Jar. I found the recipe on Better Budgeting.

I wanted a fun drink that had green and found this Minty Hot Cocoa Mix it was for two jars but I made it into one large canning jar.

I'm linking up with my BFF Amy for Round Robin.
