Pip and Puddles Come to Visit for a Cooking Lesson

Our good friend Pip hasn't been feeling too well, and he has decided to go on a Bucket Tour with his friend Puddles.   We were lucky he came to visit for a special cooking lesson, after all cooking is kind of our thing.  First we took Pip for a walk in our local park.  Please, take a rest on a bench Pip, us pugs like to take a break. 




Bob would like  to show you and Puddles some of the nice Brownstone houses in Down town Jersey City.  We warn you, our house is no were near this nice.   These brownstones cost lots of doggie bones.

 There are some amazing views of the NYC skyline in Jersey City, check them out:





Here we are at our humble home.  (Sure its an old picture with our angel sister Dr. Zira but she is always with us in spirit).
 Norbert would like to invite you to play in our back lot: warning its concrete but we still have a lot of fun back there.


Or you could hang out on the couch, we have two of them for maximum doggie comfort:



of course you are welcome to the upstairs bed too, we love to sit there with Dad:




If you want something to do we could get you a toy, we have lots to choose from:



While you and Puddles are chillaxing


Mom will start on our Turkey Cheese Burger Meat loaf Muffins, they'll go great with all that junk food and the recipe is super easy (and pretty healthy).

Pip's Turkey Cheese Burger Meatloaf Muffins


  • 1 lb ground turkey (or beef if you prefer)
  • 1 package frozen mixed vegetables (Mom likes Cascadian Farm's brand)
  • 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
  • 2 tbsp tomato sauce (optional)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup small diced cheddar cheese or grated cheddar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat a 12 tin muffin pan with non-stick spray (don't forget this stuff like mom often does because your muffins will stick to the pan).  
Stir together all of the ingredients in a nice big bowl (really its that easy!)

Spoon into a muffin tin and bake for 30 minutes until cooked through.  Voila they smell tasty!
No need to get up guys.  We will deliver a muffin right to you:

Hope you like them!

We had a great time on your visit and hope you did too.

  2. Thank goodness we have arrived ...thank you for showing me the New York skyline as I've mentioned 87 million times my assistant has a thing for New York so she will be glad I had a chance to see it in the furs.

    Of course, we were very honored to meet your angel sister Dr. Zira.

    Oh, and the concrete backyard - no problem! Remember, I lived most of my life as a city dog so I know all about concrete.

    On to food ...

  5. How is it even possible that Puddles didn't get burned being so close to the stove like that ~ It's a miracle! What a great stop on their tour. We loved seeing Jersey and the NYC skyline. (Mommy's from Long Island).

    And your recipe for the burgers sounds delicious! I just know that Pip and Puddles ate like 87 gazillion of them.

    You were so kind to share your couch, toys and sitting on the big bed with you Dad. That made their trip extra special.

    Excellent host's one and all!

    Hugs,

  10. Oh Yummmmm. I bet Pip gobbled up more than one of those turkey muffin things. What a great thing to cook for him a nice home cooked meal. One does have to take a break from cheeseburgers and Cheetos. You were the perfect hosts. And what a wonderful walk.
    Blessings,
