Why yes, in this picture, Tazewell is staring with intent at an Apple & Carrot Bundle while wearing a bandana.* And in this picture, he is staring at me, trying to be such a good boy, because he knows what is on the tray above him.

Kale & Egg Quiche with Sweet Potato “Crust”

Snow Day Snacks: Pizza Dough
I started this post a few weeks ago during a snow day. As it became clear I would not be completing the post that day, I figured I would just change the "Snow Day Snacks" part of the title when I got around to posting it, but OMG, there is a "slight chance of snow after 2:00am" tonight.
