Blueberry Biscuits
These delicious blueberry biscuits are easy to make and taste amazing! Made with buttery dough topped with an irresistibly sweet powdered sugar glaze for added sweetness, these biscuits will impress family and friends no matter whether served for breakfast, brunch or lunch!
Mix together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Rub cold butter between your fingers until it forms coarse crumbs; stir in buttermilk until no dry pockets of flour remain (you may require using a rubber spatula sprayed with cooking spray to assist you in this step).
Stir together blueberries and dough. Pat dough out (do not roll with a rolling pin) until about 1 inch thick, sprinkle blueberries overtop and gently press into dough (be careful not to squash them!). Brush tops of dough with melted butter before baking for 25-30 minutes at 400 F until golden brown. Allow it to cool, drizzle powdered sugar glaze (optional garnish: lemon zest if desired), cool again slightly and then serve. Enjoy!
Peanut Butter Banana Bites
Peanut butter and bananas make this healthy treat an easy solution that’s great any time of year. Simply combine them for an irresistibly nutritious bite-size snack your dog is sure to love! Plus, there are various toppings you can add for even greater personalization of his snack time experience!
For an easy dessert option, line a baking sheet that can fit into the freezer with parchment paper and slice bananas into 1/4″ slices, before topping each with one teaspoon of peanut butter and covering it with another banana slice before refrigerating.
Once frozen, remove banana bites and dip or drizzle in melted chocolate if desired. Roll these bites in additional toppings such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed graham crackers or more chocolate for an eye-catching treat before returning them back into the freezer until ready for serving.
These bite-sized treats are packed with potassium, fiber, and protein from bananas as well as antioxidants from dark chocolate chips – making them the ideal treat for busy pet parents! Plus they’re easy to prepare and make an ideal treat!
Liver Popsicles
Keep your pet cool on hot days with frozen treats made from cooked liver and low-sodium chicken broth blended together in the blender until smooth, pouring it into popsicle molds or ice cube trays with sticks, then freezing until solidified.
Recipes often required pre-soaking livers before cooking to remove blood and specifically hemoglobin compounds that contaminated their surface. Soaking in milk, brandy or alcohol was often employed as the method to decontaminate livers before preparation.
In this recipe, kiwi fruit provides antioxidants that boost immunity and support liver health, with dark chocolate chunks adding some sweetness. A recent study demonstrated how diets rich in fruits and yogurt could help prevent nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (7); so try this sorbet that’s lower in sugar than most ice creams! *Adding grapefruit* may increase resistance against oxidative stress while decreasing liver lipid accumulation.

Meanwhile, whisk together pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, peanut butter and eggs in another bowl before combining both mixtures and pouring it into prepared pans. Bake at 350F until the cake springs back when lightly pressed before cooling it before frosting to your heart’s desire! Enjoy!
