HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA DOG TREATS

I normally just go out and just by my dogs, Dog-treats from the stores. But I noticed the last time how sick they had gotten after eaten them. So I wanted to try something different and something that is better for them. So I looked online and I found this recipe and not only did my dogs love this but my Cats did too.


Ingredients:
1 banana, peeled
1 cup Oat-Flour
2/3 cup Rolled oats
1/2 cup Dried-parsley
3 tablespoons Peanut-Butter
1 egg beaten


Directions:

Preheat oven to 300°F. Put the banana in a large bowl and use a spoon or potato masher to mash it thoroughly. Add oat flour, oats, parsley, peanut butter and egg and stir well to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes.


Roll mixture into 24 balls, using about 1 tablespoon dough for each; transfer to a large parchment paper-lined baking sheet as done. Use the back of a spoon or the heel of your hand to press each ball into a (1 1/2- to 2-inch) coin. Bake until firm and deep golden brown on the bottom, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside to let cool completely.


Storage note: It's best to store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Or, freeze them to give to your pal later; just be sure to thaw the treats before handing them out.


These will look like Cookies when they are done. So make sure your Kids and your Parents don't try to eat these. Both my son and my mom ate one without me knowing about it and they both told me that my cookies were nasty. I had to tell them, yeah they are nasty because it's not for humans it's for the dogs. So I had to laugh at them. Too bad I didn't catch them eating it or I would have taken a picture of them doing so.

National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day

Peanut Butter and Jelly

National Peanut butter and jelly day is on April 2 and it celebrates the "PB & J" sandwich. This is one sandwich that many American kids and even adults love to eat. Many kids will not eat anything but "PB & J" sandwiches.
My kids love to eat peanut butter and jelly with grape jelly. I, on the other hand, must have strawberry jam with my peanut butter. There is really no wrong way to make a PB & J sandwich. I have different ways of making the sandwich myself. One way that I make it is by putting peanut butter on one side of the bread and jelly on the other. Sometimes I will mix the peanut butter and jelly together before putting it on the bread. I also will take the crust off the bread befoe eating. My son Alex likes his sandwich cut into fours.
So how will you be celebrating this National Peanut butter and jelly day? I think I'll have myself sandwich.

April Has Begun

It is the beginning of a new month, April is finally here! Hopefully, April will be a better month for everyone and will bring plenty of opportunities as well. 

Today is April 1 which is known as April Fool's Day. This is a day where people can get away with pulling pranks on other people without it having a negative effect. I am staying at home so I will not get a prank pulled on me. Thankfully my son hasn't given it any thought as well. Here is a video with some great pranks:

Be on the lookout for those pranksters unless of course you are the prankster yourself. Just remember to keep it clean. 

Bubblews Received an 'F' Rating

While on Facebook earlier today I noticed that there is a picture floating around stating that Bubblews has received an 'F' rating from the Califonia Better Bussiness Bureau (BBB). Of course, being the person I am I had to check for myself. Bubblews went from having an 'A-' rating to a flat out 'F'. The BBB is also warning all users to stay away from this site. So far, they have over 78 confirmed complaints with many more still coming in. I personally know of three people that filed today, that were honest users, that never received their money from before November. Arvind has gotten greedy and now he has been caught with his hands in the cookie jar by the BBB. It surprises me that people are still writing and acting like the site has done no wrong. A change is coming and it might not be a good one.

Your Word

Your Word is unlike any other survey site on the internet. This survey site pays you for every single survey, even if you don't qualify for the survey. You can get anywhere from $0.10-$0.25 just for clicking on the survey. Some of the surveys ask the same questions repetitively, but these are just normal questions to make sure you qualify for the survey. 

Your Word Gift Card Choices

There are four different award levels that a person can reach, it all depends on the person on which award they want to achieve. The awards as seen above starts at $5 and goes up to $25. There are several different gift card options available. 

YourWord Dashboard

When looking at your dashboard on YourWord you will be able to see if you have any available surveys waiting for you and how many, this is called your views. Your rewards are where you find the gift card information and it tells you how much you have and how much is needed for the next reward. 

YourRewards confirmation of Reward

Once you have reached the desired amount that you want, you click on the gift card and enter your information. I know from personal experience that the Amazon gift card is sent through e-mail. I am uncertain of how the other gift cards are sent but more than likely it is sent the same way. Once you are done entering your information you are shown this Congratulations page and you should receive your email shortly afterwards containing your gift card. 

This is a good way to earn free gift cards by simply answering a few questions that don't take longer than 10 minutes sometimes shorter than that. I love the site and would recommend it to others. 

Best Writers is Still Alive

Yes, you have read correctly, Best Writers is still alive and is still operating, although the site had to make some minor changes that I personally think should have been made when it was first created. Anyone that has any business knowledge knows that it takes time for that company to build any income where ever that income may be coming from. It takes longer than three weeks or a month to build up this income to start paying anyone, who may be working on that site. Ads that pay are strange and the rates need to be set to according how the ads pay. In some places, the ads pay more than others, this has nothing to do with the site but the ads themselves and the people they represent. 

I personally think Best Writers has what it takes to be one of the best paying sites once the ads start paying and the money start coming in. I believe we have some great writers and we are looking for more great writers to join us.
