Dog Pile!!!

March 11, 2010 by Julie 14 Comments

I am awfully glad I took Sadie on a five mile run this morning because the weather went sour afterward. Fortunately she has a decent amount of exercise under her belt for the day, but I still feel bad that the rainy weather has dampened (Notice the pun? 😉 ) any afternoon activities with the pup.

It looks like tonight will be filled with lots of dog piles!

Whenever Ryan and I are in the mood to mess with Sadie, one of us will yell out “Dog Pile!!!” and run into the bedroom. Sadie runs as fast as she can to jump on the bed and an excessive amount of dog wrestling ensues.

Puppy Pile

(Side note: When you type “dog pile” into Google and do a Google Images search, this picture of a dog pile of little vizsla puppies *the same breed as Sadie* comes up! What a coincidence! Oh and I now want the little rigamortis one at the bottom, left of this picture.)

Dinner

I wasn’t sure what I wanted for dinner tonight.

Usually I have pretty strong food cravings, but tonight everything sounded good, but nothing sounded perfect. Decisions, decisions!

Finally we settled on Annie’s white cheddar mac and cheese with lots of veggies.

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always loved stirring in the cheese sauce. 🙂

Me 'n' Mac & Cheese

Annie's Shells & White Cheddar

Cheesy

I added portobello mushrooms, broccoli and zucchini to the cheesy pasta to add an extra nutritional punch.

Veggies

Mac and Cheese and Veggie Bowl

Usually when I make mac and cheese, I just stir in the cheese packet without adding anything else. This time I followed the instructions on the package and mixed the cheese packet into 1/4 cup of milk. It made the sauce runnier and I definitely prefer my usual method. You live, you learn!

I’m off to watch Friday Night Lights with Ryan and Sadie and engage in a couple o’ dog piles before bed.

See ya tomorrow… on FRIDAY!

    Mmm I love making Mac & Cheese/Veggie bowls, its such a quick and easy meal for nights when I have lots of studying to do!
    My puppy tried to dog pile on my head the other day when I was lying on the floor, he still thinks everything’s a game…but boy is he adorable!

    Have you tried the Thomas bagel thins? I bought some the other day and thought of this blog! They are only 100 calories and make a great foundation for a breakfast sandwich!

    Love the puppy pic 🙂

    The first photo of this post was just at the bottom of your most recent post as a recommended read. I had to do a double-take at the photo in it’s tiny format. At first glance, I thought it was a photo of newborn hamsters!
