FREE Pet Vaccinations | Pitt County, NC

Keep 'em healthy, y'all! 

Distemper and Rabies will be covered ... If your cat/dog has had their 1-year Rabies vaccination then be sure to bring those records so that they can get their 3-year shots!!

It is super important to take care of our four legged friends! Ask them about spay and neuter clinics while you're there because there are too many homeless animals out there already!

Frozen Doggy Treats | Photographer | Lifestyle

I don't usually let them on the sofa, but when I walked into the living room and saw this I just couldn't get mad. They look like they need a little bit of a pick me up, don't they? Well lucky for them I had just  had a recipe forwarded to me by my big sister ... Frozen yogurt treats! She must have been reading my mind because I totally had just looked in the fridge and glanced at this huge tub of yogurt wondering what in the hell I was gonna do with it. Now, I know that yogurt is good for you and I buy it with the intention of making myself like it, but I just can't. Remember that show "You Can't Do That On Television"? I think of yogurt like the slime that they used to dump on peoples heads ... yuck. The dogs love that stuff though! So, this is all you have to do to make your 4-legged kids mucho happy:

Delish and healthy Frozen Dog Treats

1. Mash up your bananas that are too soggy for you to want to eat anymore

2. Put bananas, yogurt and yummy peanut butter in the blender

3. Blend (some people really need to see this step posted)

4. Pour mixture into empty ice trays and freeze

5. When frozen give to smiling dogs ;)

Now i guess that you could put a popsicle stick in the end of these and give the to your 2-legged kids if you like, but I don't have any of those, so more for the dogs!!!

Note: Greek yogurt is where it's at for those of you that think that regular yogurt is too slime-like.

Hahahahahaha!!!!! Look at those faces! 

Spicy Roasted Chickpeas | Photographer at Home

I've made the ultimate decision and left the world of photography to become a chef instead. 

Sike, sike, sike! 

My stress levels can't handle working in a kitchen with other people. I'm not lying. I get claustrophobic and panicky when my boyfriend tries to come in the kitchen and help me cook. I like to keep it simple ... ingredients, appliances, wine, and music. If you toss anything else into that mix it throws me completely off. All in all, I love cooking. Alone. It's my time to escape and create something outside of  Photoshop.

Well, I've had these chickpeas sitting in my cupboard for a couple of months now just knowing that I would find the most amazing thing to do with them that wasn't hummus related. Nothing against hummus. I love the stuff, but one can of chickpeas makes a lot of it. For me, at least. Anyways, while I was skimming the endless pins on Pinterest this morning while still in my pj's and drinking my 3rd cup of coffee I found that "thing" ... you know ... that "thing" to do with the chickpeas. Spicy, crunchy, and healthy. My three favorite food characteristics!!!

The original post came from Kelly over at the Eat Yourself Skinny blog. I don't know what's up with the side pic of her and her dog ... maybe he's she's blocking him from her face because he's a licker or a burper ... either way he's cute and she has some yummy dishes AND drinks on there that y'all should try out!

I only had one can of chickpeas and I love my spicy stuff to be eye-watering-lips-burning-tongue-swelling spicy, so I just eyeballed everything. I did add in some garlic powder, though.

Here's her original recipe  with the nutritional content and some pictures I took in the process :)
