You know, if I was really smart: I’d be at least half as comfy as these three goonie birds with fur.

Since my mother learned the recipe in high school, my family has enjoyed the potato chip based tuna casserole. Left to my own devices, I sill make it pretty often.
Coincidentally, Willow really likes fish. Not so much that humans get dibs on the people food.
A pup’s payback
When Willow was a puppy, she liked to guard her extra treats waiting to see if someone would try to take them; or go running around like mad tossing them around playfully until finally eating them at her leisure.
When Corky was a puppy: she tormented him much like he is doing now. Sitting there, guarding the her treat while he sat there wanting to eat it. Thus when moments like this happen: I think of it as a Corky’s revenge. Willow taught Corky well, too well, in fact.
Coincidentally: Misty is the one who tends to sneak in and nab the threat, if Corky leaves instead of eats it, lol.
For the human: rice, curry sauce, onions, peppers, beans, and mushrooms. Plus a little chicken.
Plus plenty of leftovers ftw!
And for the hungry minions: a beef and chicken patte topper added to their food.
I can’t help but think, dogs are really smart at being comfortable. Willow must have a Ph.D.
Don’t know how much endurance dogs tend to have compared to humans, but Willow, Misty, and Corky do get plenty of sleep, lol
Forgot a all about the ground beef I had planned to make with the sauce, but still had a delicious meal, and probably ate about three people‘a worth going by the brick sitting in my gut.
Willow and company were very interested in this cheesy, ravioli fueled goodness.
Hungry minions also got another round of their Christmas presents, this time the chicken and turkey with gravy packet.
It was almost a shame to make them move, almost.
Not exactly elegant but effective. Bowl of rice with green onions, black beans, mushrooms, and tuna; plus a thing of frozen dumplings for a side.
Willow’s deepest woe is that I come first in the pecking order. That is to say, she despises having to wait her turn.
This year’s Christmas presents are meet and gravy “Toppers”, because they love that and Wellness CORE mini meals were something like buy 6 get 2 free when I bo7htheir last bag of food.
Needless to say: they enjoyed the head start on yumnums.
I have to admit, when I had bought Texas toast for making Ruben sandwiches , it was just as a work around to avoid going to two stores. But I think it may become my standard bread, lol.
It’s proven ideal for making a sandwich full enough to be worth eating, without becoming as hard on the economics and storage space as going to hoggy rolls and the like. You can stuff a pair of slices in the toaster and load up a sandwich like my momma used to make, and the bread is something like $1.35 a loaf.
Another win is that one slice of Texas toast is enough for breakfast. Usually I would make two slices of toast is on the menu. Combined with trying to use up some old eggs, and sausages to share, let’s just say that Willow and company only care about their share, lol.
Pretty much the only reason I buy the breakfast sausage when they’re on sale, is I know three plump partridges starving doggies who would like some.
I’d like to think that two of these should be enough to fill most people up for dinner. Eat all four and you’d need a nap.
While I don’t usually make tacos like this, I can’t help but think if I had made a large batch of rice, I could have basically packed three large lunch containers with rice, beans, and a folded taco on top and call that dinner for the week. And then ate the rest, lol. As it is, I still have leftovers but not at that scale.
But those containers are already full of beans and macaroni, and not available. The other containers aren’t big enough to include the taco on top, so they’d end up needing separate packing for the fridge.
Willow just wishes tacos were for doggies.
