Good News and Blog Changes

May 28, 2015

Hello friends. Here at Julie's Lifestyle I have a few changes that are going to happen and I'd love to share them with you!

1) Jess who blogs at Plucky's Second Thought had been looking for a co-host for her Monday Link-Up party (party can be found here if you are not familiar with it) for a while. Well I am so happy and excited to announce that I will be joining her as her new co-host! I hope that you will stop by on Monday and link-up and share your favorite recipes and crafts with us. Also if you have a minute please stop by and visit Jess's lovely blog where she shares about tips, recipes, book reviews and more.

2) Twice a month on Monday's I usually do a Makeup Monday post sharing anything to do with beauty. I have decided to give that a rest and in the future just do a beauty post if I find something interesting and fun to share.

3) I have noticed lately that some of my comments left on my blog are not going directly to my email but straight onto my blog. I am sorry if I do not respond to your comments right away but do know that I appreciate and thank you all for your lovely comments. I will be checking regularly the comments section. This must be some glitch with Blogger!

4) I want to say a big welcome to some new followers and I hope you enjoy your time here!

5) This week I have been featured on some blogs for sharing some of my recipes and crochet projects. Thanks blog friends for featuring me I am so honored!

Here are the blogs:

Eye Love Knots - For featuring my Crochet Hand Warmers
The Enchanting Rose - For featuring my Summer Egg Salad Recipe
Katherine Corner - For featuring my Summer Ranch Dressing Salad
Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson - For featuring my Summer Ranch Dressing Salad
Domesblissity - For featuring my Summer Ranch Dressing Salad

If you enjoy visiting different blogs and like joining link-up parties then please visit these wonderful blogs.

6) I have been very busy spending my days lately trying to get my house ready for summer with organizing, cleaning, and trying to get rid of or donate things we do not need anymore. Please forgive me if I have not visited you lately. When things start to settle down I will be able to visit you.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will all visit on Monday for the new link-up party. I hope you all have a wonderful end of the week and weekend.

Christmas in July!

July 25, 2014

Today I'm joining Natasha at Keeping the Christmas Spirit Alive 365 for a Christmas in July link party.

I decided to post this easy recipe to make Homemade Cheddar Dog Biscuits. I made these biscuits and posted it last December and to see that post you can click here. My dog Bosco really loved these biscuits that I made for his Christmas present last year and I would love to share them with you too.

Here you can see how much my dog Bosco loves these biscuits!

Cheddar and Applesauce Homemade Dog Biscuits

Author: The Scrumptious Pumpkin

Total Time: 25 minutes
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Yield: 30 treats

Ingredients

¾ cups whole wheat flour (or rye flour or brown rice flour)
½ cup cheddar cheese, grated
3 tablespoons all-natural applesauce
2 tablespoons water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to about half an inch thick. Cut treats with a cookie cutter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until treats are firm to the touch.
Before freezing or storing, allow cookies to cool and harden, about 50 minutes.

Adapted from the book Beagle: Smart Owner’s Guide

NOTE: The treats typically last up to 1 - 1 1/2 weeks in the fridge. If you don't plan to use up all the treats right away, they can be frozen.

* I found this recipe on Pinterest and the recipe is from The Scrumptious Pumpkin.

This makes a great pet gift and the recipe is really easy and simple to make. This recipe can also be made anytime of year for your dog.

I do hope I have inspired you to make these homemade treats for your dog this year for Christmas!

Thanks Natasha for this fun Christmas in July link party!
