Sauteed Meatball And Red Pepper


To say that my girl, Alex, is picky would be an understatement, therefore because of that I have to come up with different “recipes” that are to her approval and standard.

meatball1For this meal, I started by defrosting one or two meatballs.  I don’t like to defrost it in a microwave because it makes the meatball too dry and chewy so I take it out from the freezer before I sit down to eat and by the time I am finished it is ready to be cooked.

meatball2I, then, cut this meatball into little pieces along with some veggies.  This time I chose to only add a bit of red pepper and nothing else.

meatball3I sautéed a small amount of red pepper for about 2 minutes in a bit of oil.  Don’t use a lot of oil for this can upset your dog’s tummy.

meatball4I added the cut up meatball to the red pepper and sautéed them for another minute or two.  I let it cool off while I get Alex’s kibble in a dish.

meatball5And Voila!  Here is the end result.  I mixed Alex’s kibble with the sautéed meatball and red pepper, along with her supplements, and my picky girl devoured her meal.  When I try something new with Alex I start with a very small amount of it in order to avoid upsetting her stomach.  Currently, I am adding 2 meatballs and 3 different veggies.

I am always interested in other pet parents’ recipes.  If you have any that you’d like to share, please let me know because my “menu” is quite limited.

      You just put a huge smile on my face. Thanks. Alex, my girl, gives me the best compliments by devouring, most of the time, the meals I cook for her. I am so glad your doggies would enjoy it too:) If you have any recipes or suggestions, send them my way. Have a great weekend.

  2. When I arrived here, I saw the tittle of the post, and being a chef, I thought ‘oh, yummy!’ You can imagine my disappointment. You certainly look after Alex. My cat (kitten) Cloro gets a little mince dumped unceremoniously on his dish when he pees or poops in the right place; he’s got the idea now.

    Thanks for visiting and commenting on SAAC, you can follow Cloro’s (mis)adventures on my personal blog: http://lifeisbutalabyrinth.wordpress.com/

    I’ll have to read more of your blog after the supermarket.

      Thanks for visiting my blog:) Oh boy, please don’t judge me too hard:) I hate to cook, but I cook for Alex. Have a great weekend:)

  3. I can’t say much for real food, but my dog loves these peanut butter homemade dog treats. I’ve talked about three of my posts now and two other bloggers have made them. 🙂 If you go to my blog and check out my reblog of “Maggie0019″‘s blog earlier this week, she actually wrote out the recipe in the blog.
    Your dog should love them!
