Tasty Homemade Pupcakes

Considering we’re in the kitchen all the time, it’s only natural that we end up brainstorming new and different things to try out, both for ourselves and our families, and for our pets.

We love our furry family members so much, we can’t help but spoil them with fresh and healthy treats that they devour in seconds. Our dogs love this recipe (and we love it for it’s fresh simplicity).
