They say dogs are slowly replacing children, and you probably can’t deny that since the creation of dog strollers and dog restaurants. By saying dog restaurants, I don’t mean dog-friendly restaurants, but places that literally serve dog food and dog food only.
When you come to think of it, it’s really unfair to all the other pets out there. It’s not the dogs’ prerogative to enjoy nice food. Non-dog pets should have the equal right to have something other than dry food, too.
So, here they are, recipe ideas for you and your beloved fishy:
Mac and Cheese (Yields 1 serving)

- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and reserve.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk, flour and salt and pepper to taste; whisk or beat until smooth. Add butter and cheese; microwave on high for 5 minutes and whisk until smooth. Microwave for an additional 4 to 5 minutes and whisk or beat until smooth and no lumps remain.
