Recently I discovered what a great resource Etsy is for pet products. I have been searching for some cute accessories to get Jack for Easter, and have a whole list of shops. What are some of your favorite pet Etsy shops? Here are some of my favorites:

Breakfast Pizza

Breakfast pizza is the meal I usually make when my parents come to visit or other special occasions like my birthday yesterday. All you need is Flatout thin crust (you\’ll want to heat them at 350 for about 5 minutes), breakfast gravy (I made a McCormick packet), hash browns (I cooked ones from the frozen food section), scrambled eggs, Canadian bacon, green pepper and cheese. It\’s simple to make but time consuming.

 {heat Flatout crust for about 5 minutes at 350}
 {prepare the scrambled eggs, gravy, Canadian bacon + green pepper and hash browns}
 {Spread a thin coat of gravy on the wraps}
 {add some hashbrowns}
 {scrambled eggs}
 {green pepper + ham}
{and cheese – heating at 350 until the cheese melts}

Birthday Cake Sugar Scrub

Last week I ran out of my favorite sugar scrub exfoliator, and when I realized the brand had gone out of business I decided to make my own. The ingredients are amazingly healthy for your skin, and sure to make it glow. I recommend making my Whipped Coconut Body Créme to go with it.

Birthday Cake Sugar Scrub
Ingredients:
1.5 cups sugar (I used organic cane sugar)
3 tablespoons extra virgin refined coconut oil
¼ cup almond oil
20-30 drops of your favorite scent (I used birthday cake)
Sprinkles

Directions:
1. Whip your coconut oil using a mixer until it turns into “fluffy frosting”.
2. Add sugar and almond oil mixing until combined.
3. Add in your scent; mix well.
Scrub should be wet and thick add more coconut oil or sugar as needed.
4. Add sprinkles.
5. Place into a container of your choice.

Review: Healthy Dogma

{Bow Tie collar by our friend Varvara of Vivichi Dog}

As someone from Michigan I am a big believer in supporting Michigan made products. Recently I discovered Healthy Dogma offering healthy treats, and supplements made in Michigan (Lake Orion to be exact) for you dog.

 Jack put Blissful Banana Crisps and Peanut Butter recipe Barkers to the test:

Blissful Banana Crisp: Bananas and coconut oil are the only ingredients in these treats. Jack loves bananas so these quickly became one of his favorite new treats. 

Peanut Butter recipe Barkers: What dog doesn’t love peanut butter? These treats have no additives or artificial flavors, plus you actually understand all the ingredients used in the product. These are a great alternative to Milk Bones that have a ton of crazy ingredients in them.

Perfecting Omelette\’s

I’ll admit when it comes to cooking eggs my specialty is scrambled it’s an easy and effortless breakfast. However after living in Pittsburgh for three years I learned the secret to creating the perfect omelette, and they’ve now become a Sunday morning tradition. Here to creating the perfect omelette: 

Prepare the ingredients. Eggs cook quickly, so it is best to cut up all of your ingredients prior to cooking.

Crack the eggs into a bowl. Using a fork beat until the eggs are completely mixed. Skip the salt and pepper and add a teaspoon of dark brown sugar (the secret ingredient).
Spray your skillet with a non-stick cooking spray and heat over low heat. Pour in the eggs, making sure it spreads evenly over the pan. Cooking until firm enough to flip over with a spatula.
 As soon as you flip the egg add your fillings on half of your egg (I used Canadian bacon and green pepper).

Top with desired cheese (I used sharp cheddar). Use the spatula to gently fold over the remaining half of the egg onto the filling, cook for one minute, place on your plate and enjoy.
