Baby Wolverine Loaf (dog food)

 Our dog is ...finicky, has allergies, dislikes beef and thinks of dry food as an amusing treat. I don't feel ok about feeding him the canned stuff , so he gets a loaf. Likewise he loves fish, veggies, cheese(mostly when he steals it) and especially lately melon. He gets dog vitamins on top of this for regular meals. 1 loaf last our 11 lb dog six days.

1 c cooked rice (brown preferred)

1 lb turkey (medium to higher fat)

1 c veggies (usually mixed veg, sweet potato, or squash)

1/2 cup oats

1 egg

mix

Bake at 350f 45minutes to 1 hr.

Air dry cinnamon dough

I teach young kids these days. This means a need for excellent non toxic airdrying sculpture materials. This has the benefit of being washable, and drying in 3 or so days. You can paint it with tempera paint ,carve it and mould it.  Mix equal parts cinnamon and  jarred applesauce ( or pureed homemade). Knead to combine. Shape your dough and place on a piece of paper to dry. The time depends on thickness. This can be used to make things that last well like 'jewelry' , sculptures and air fresheners. Just make sure to poke a hole in the item if you want to hang it BEFORE it dries and to coat it with a layer of glue if using it as jewelry.
