I hung some bananas outside, and a little new friend stopped by for an afternoon snack.

A friendly reminder: Make sure the label says “pitted olives” 🥲

We introduced Mala to the beach when she was just three weeks old, gradually letting her experience the waves and water. Over time, she built incredible confidence in her swimming skills. Now, she swims long distances alongside us or playfully chases us. If one of us goes for a swim, she instinctively comes to the rescue. Proud mama moment! 🥹🧡 #dog #dogstr

GM 🌞 Keep stacking! For extra fudge, overnight in the fridge. #food #foodstr

Eating these stuffed dates makes me feel so rich and luxurious. Homemade peanut butter, raw honey, sea salt, and olive oil. 🤤 Imagine myself in Ancient Egypt, wearing a white linen and sitting on a wooden chair with ivory and gold inlays. ✨😌 #food #foodstr

Grey day is a new fun day! #dog #dogstr

I’m showing you noods. You’re sending me sats. Deal? 🤝 #food #foodstr

I loooooove seeing them run, wrestle, and sniff freely. 🧡🥹 #dogstr #dog

Madame et messieurs! Let me present you my Bœuf bourguignon, slow-cooked, rich, and full of flavor. I usually baked a #sourdough loaf as my husband loves loading it with butter and soaking up every last bit of sauce. But this time, I feel a little extra so I made pomme purée as well. It goes soooo well together. PS. Not trying to be fancy with cherry blossom-shaped carrots because medallions just aren’t for me! It’s not that I don’t like carrots, but somehow they taste different that way 🤪 So, a new shape it is! I wish #nostr had a scent feature so you could enjoy the smell from here! Bon appétit! #food #foodstr

A basic raw feeding ratio typically follows the 80:10:10, mimicking the “Prey Model”: • 80% muscle meat • 10% organs • 10% raw meaty bones Muscle meat is easy to identify—it includes boneless cuts, raw animal fat, tongue, and connective tissue. Raw meaty bones are also straightforward. But what about organs? Are all offals considered organs in raw feeding? Not exactly. Certain organs, like the heart, gizzards, lungs, and tripe, are actually muscular organs and are fed as muscle meat. These provide essential protein for our best friends. Secreting organs, on the other hand—such as liver, eyeballs, spleen, kidneys, brain, and testicles—are highly nutrient-dense. Since they make up 10% of the diet, I usually feed a mix of 5% liver and 5% other secreting organs to make sure that my dogs get the full range of nutrients they need to thrive. ** Their meals will be balanced over time. These pictures might not show a fully balanced raw meal. Please do your own research before feeding your pup a raw diet. ** ** Not a dog nutritionist or expert—just a dog mom doing her best to provide her pups with proper nutrition. ** #dogstr #grownostr #dog

I’d been busy all day, so I needed a dinner that worked with my schedule. Miso #ramen sounded perfect—easy, comforting, and full of flavor. 🍜 I let the chicken stock simmer while the beef marinated in the fridge with salt, white pepper, shoyu, and a little sesame oil. That way, everything could soak up the flavors while I got other things done. When it was time to eat, I mixed the stock with miso paste, seaweed, and katsuobushi to make a rich, savory, umami broth. I blanched some #homegrown bok choy from my parents’ garden, cooked the beef and noodles, then put everything together in a bowl. For an extra kick, I whipped up a quick chili oil in the microwave—lazy but effective. #food #foodstr #grownostr
