What is Carob? Who is Carob?




I am often asked many questions about the safety of some of Doggy Decadents treats. These treats look like they have chocolate in them, and everyone knows that chocolate isn't good for dogs. Well, these little chocolate chip look-a-likes are actually carob chips. Carob is a dog-safe alternative to chocolate and is actually very good for dogs and humans too. It is much healthier than chocolate because it is free of the allergenic and addictive effects of caffeine and contains much less fat. People, particularly vegetarians and healthy dieters, often substitute carob for chocolate. Maybe you might want to try out one of these decadent treats as a healthy alternative for your own desert tonight :) Now the other question still remains; who is Carob? Carob is a beautiful chocolate lab and the newest addition to our doggie family. People are always confused when they find out her name and have to ask twice to make sure they've herd it right. But Carob looks just like a carob; dark and rich in color, and as naturally sweet as can be!

Living it Up in Alaska






Skipper and I took a break from baking last weekend and took part in the 1st annual 49th State 4 Peak Challenge. Four Mt. peaks , 7,400 feet up 7,400 feet down and about 14 miles, all in one day! There were about twenty people who came out to hike with us, but only about nine who completed all 4 peaks, Bird Ridge, Flattop, Baldy, and Bear Mt. Apart from baking, hiking is my favorite pastime and a great way to see the true Alaska.
