I drove 2 hours to find this Tuff Toy for my boy(not really, I went shopping and found this along the way)
He can chew up anything, so it had to be a super strong one and it is.
This is a happy boy with his toy!
Cougar loves it....See him smiling as he chunks on it!
...Now some Cooking...
You need to go check out Darla.... her blog.... "My Country Blog of This and That" http://mycountryblogofthisandthat.blogspot.com I liked what she wrote this morning... so good!
Anyway, I won this cookbook from her and received it a few days ago in the mail. It's full of the best recipes, all donated by her family.

It is dedicated to Mom and Dad Loveless... for their years of prayers prayed, laughter shared, tears shed, and love and understanding given to each of their children and grand children.
Like all family cook books, this it is full of the best recipes ever...I tried a couple of them
a few days ago and will share them with you here.

Yum indeed -- I wonder if I could BBQ it -- I am on that BBQ challenge - but I see in my grill books that you can bake cookies and cakes - I've yet to try this! It's just to bad I am not in your delivery route! Wink..
Mmmmmmm...Looks yummy indeed!!
Love,
Marilyn

I am absolutely HUGE on family compiled cookbooks. You got a good one. In fact, I am actually HUGER just looking at those desserts. Have fun with it and think about all the love that went in to preparing those recipes for family.

German upside down cake, that name is great already! And chocolate, anything chocolate-y is divine.
Your beautiful dog is such a sweetie, Julie.
Do have a happy happy day! xx
Good Looking treats!
Courgar looks very happy and content with his new toy also.
Isn't great that dogs are so easy going and lovable :)!
Pageant time is drawing to a close. Things will slow down a bit now around here :)
Dear Julie
Your sweet dog Cougar just love his toy! He is so cute and very content with that black toy with purple, yellow and black tassels!
The German Chocolate Upside Down Cake looks delicious and I will definitely try it!
Ixx
I have to say that family cookbooks and ward cookbooks are a treasure because they really DO have the best recipes in them - time tested and yummy!!
The German Chocolate cake especially looks SOOOO tasty.
Thanks for sharing.
Your Cougar looks absolutely happy with his new toy! I love his smile - hee hee.
I am on a STRICT diet right now but those desserts look so very, very good!
I'm going to go check out her blog now!
Thanks!
I love that picture of Cougar - it really looks like he's smiling from ear to ear. Good thing you found a toy that will actually last for him. That last recipe looks really yummy. I think I will try it out this weekend. Thanks! love ya :)
any one of the desserts would surely make me feel better or at least as good as Cougar feels with that new toy! HUGS, loves, Jenn
oh those all look so yummie!! the last one especially...I can't bake like that, cause the pool man eats it all up so quickly..never lasts in our nest! Happy Summer!
Hello, sweet friend,
Thank you for sharing these delicious recipes. I want to try them, too. Family recipe books are the very best, I think! Cougar is a happy boy with his new toy. He is so handsome. Hope you have had a good week. Love and blessings always~ Vicki
Congratulations to you on winning such a special cookbook. The recipes look scrumptious. Thanks for sharing.
Cougar looks so happy! Although my dog is small, he destroys everything except...plumbing fittings...he thinks the round, ring-like, fitting are bones and they're really indestructible! Going to have to go to the grocery for some graham crackers...that looks yummy!
I just adore cougar Julie, and these recipes look absolutely out of this world. Thank you for sharing.
Hugs,
Sue
Julie, That German Chocolate Cake looks delicious! I will have to try that recipe soon but like you, I'll try not to eat too much of it!!!
All dogs deserve a good toy and it looks like Cougar has the perfect one for him!
My summer is going well! Glad yours is too!

I love old family cookbooks. My grandmother was a great cook and I'm sorry her recipes are lost. That eclair looks really wonderful!!
I love your Cougar and how happy he looks with his toy!
Those deserts are yummy! I gained weight just looking at them!
Looks like a great cookbook. I have mixed emotions about not being your neighbor. I'd love to be the grateful recipient of your delicious goodies but would be concerned about doubling my weight! Cougar is one cute dog!
Oh MAMA! That chocolate & peanut butter dessert is a must-have for my recipe book. I already copied it and have it on the fridge. Thanks Julie. Cougar, you look very happy, bud. I know Kane loves it when I give him a new chewy. Thanks for stopping by today, Julie. Hugs, Deb =^..^=x5
Hey there, sweet Cougar! You are enjoying your new bone and everyone else is enjoying those great desserts!
Looks like a wonderful cookbook... I love church and family cookbooks. Can't wait to give these recipes a try!
That first dessert looks so easy..yet so yummy. I will give this one a try up at my parents house..they loveee chocolate!!
Thanks for the compliment on the camper..I would love to have one just for my craft room..I can dream..lol
Hugs..Cindy from Rick-Rack and Gingham
Lucky Cougar :) he looks a happy boy. Our little Boo doesn't chew much, he prefers to lick peanut butter off his little bones!
The cookbook looks lovely and yum, those recipes look delicious.
Hope you're having a great week.
Hugs
Denise
Oh Julie, I knew you were a strong woman but sharing this?? Now I know you're strong!! Looks so yummy, my husband will love the german chocolate upside down cake:)
Congratulations on the big win! You definitely scored some terrific recipes. It all looks too good and the kind of give-away that endears you to friends and neighbors. Your dog is just adorable!
Ohmygosh...both of these look luscious. The German Cho. one will bring Mr. Sweet to his knees and I can ask for anything under the sun and he will say YES !! :))
hugs, bj
Cougar does look so happy! I would love to win a cookbook like that! Those hand me down family recipes are the best.
Thanks for you comment on my sorority pillow. It was a bit of work...but I love it.
btw...not to worry you, but be careful with that doggie toy...the yarn can be a hazard if he eats it. I threw mine out. One of the bloggers dog had to have surgery...$4,000 dollars....so just a warning to watch him. You know how we are about our fur babies!!
Hi Julie,
You have the cutest dog! And the cookbook looks great, that recipe, oh my!
So you live in the boonies too? hehe. Too bad our boonies aren't closer. But someday I may get out your way!
Hugs,
Cindy
I (heart) Cougar!
And both recipes are printed out and ready for me to try next week, and I printed out one for my MIL who is here visiting from Ohio. She wanted it for my sister in law.
So your recipes are being spread far and wide! Hugs to you. Thanks so much for sharing. God bless, Have a great weekend.
Oh, my goodness, Julie, you're killing me with the looks of these wonderful desserts! :)
Cougar is so precious with his new toy. And it really does like he's smiling! He's a beautiful dog.
That's a wonderful sounding cookbook you won! I'll have to go over and check her blog out.
Yes, ma'am, we're already sistahs! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
YUM...that second desert looks and sounds delicious to me. I'm not fond of coconut in things. Cougar is just adorable and it looks like he is REALLY enjoying that toy!
Oh my...those recipes both look AMAZING!!!! I MUST have some of that Peanut Butter Eclair dessert! :P
He looks like he is having a ball with that toy, so I would say your shopping trip was quite the success. Thanks for the recipes...I think my husband, the peanut butter lover would really did into the eclair.
I love it when dogs smile, Julie! and look at him SMILE :D
as for the desserts!
...you had me at the word "pecans"
oh how I love pecans, walnuts and almonds... in anything!!!

Thank you so much Julie for featuring my cookbook and blog. Don't let the family's last name fool you, there's nothing Loveless about us. There's 77 of us counting from grandparents down to great grand-babies. Lots of love and good recipes! Thanks to those of you who have checked out my blog.
I saw Cougar on the sidebar of Stone Gable this morning and fell in love, so had to come over for a visit! You have a wonderful blog - great recipes, lots of nice ancedotes - but most importantly - lots of fur angels to love! :-)
I look forward to reading more in the future, and hope you'll stop by and visit me at Create With Joy when you have a moment!

Cougar is just so CUTE! I love that last photo of him with his toy! What wonderful recipes - they look so delish!
Manuela
Delish! I think if we got together and baked we would be dangerous ~ and yes, we would have to deliver to others. :-)

Pat
Thanks for sharing the wonderful recipes!
Marie
These are wonderful, and the last one doesn't even require turning the oven on, a great thing in our desert heat. Thanks so much for sharing these. I'm copying them and printing them out.
Blessings,
Marcia
All the recipes look just heavenly. I finally decided on a Montana Silver Smith statue and i choose the "two paths become one road". I don't think I ever did ,et you know which one I picked, anyway thanks for helping me out wiht the webiste info, I ordered one from there.
Shanda
Okay Julie...I am excited as I have gone through SOOOOO many doggie toys with my two retrievers...NOTHING withstands the power of their jaws...but, I do believe that this toy you bought for Cougar may be one they cannot destroy! I will look for one!
Desserts look wonderful. I do the same...make the dessert then share the bulk of it as it is too good to go to waste and the kiddos don't need to eat too much either!
