Our table at Camp Run-A-Mutts adoption event

This weekend Lindsey and I had a table at Camp Run-A-Mutt‘s Save A Life adoption event, selling Echo’s Friends’ Cookies.

It was an awesome day meeting people, meeting rescue groups, selling treats, meeting awesome dogs and their foster families, and eating great food from Ragin’ Cajun, and Cake Bar.

Please check out Cake Bar’s website if you are in the LA area, the owner Grace is wonderful and we were so happy to see that she was a vendor at this event as well!

What we’ve been up to with Echo’s Friends’ Cookies!

Hi all! Sorry for being kinds of missing in action this week, Lindsey and I have been busy making puppy treats and launching Echo’s Friends’ Cookies!!

Saturday Lindsey and I made Puppy Truffies to take to Camp Run-a-mutt Sunday.

We also made:

Peanut butter Banana Crunchies

Carrot Banana Sticks These now have flax seed meal instead of corn meal, which we all like even better.

Apple Cinnamon bites

We took all these to an event at Camp Run-A-Mutt! Julie (the awesome manager) set us up with a spot and a table to sell our treats/cookies! The pet parents reactions were very positive and the dogs loved them!!

And Sunday night after the event Lindsey came up with a new one!!

Chicky Crisps!
These came out so good once again we couldn’t stop eating them. We think they need to be a people treat too!

Cooking and baking with good friends (Part 1)

This past week my friends Lindsey and Rudy came over to relax and of course we ended up baking and making dinner.

On the menu- Cream puffs, red velvet cupcakes, and Dill /basil pesto.

First up is The Creme puffs.

Sweet or Savory Pâté a Choux by Alton Brown.

1- weigh out your bread flour, add salt and/or sugar.

2- Heat water and butter in a skillet.

3- Once melted and boiling add your flour. Stir to combine, then continue cooking over medium heat stirring constantly. ( to remove excess moisture)

4- Put dough in mixer and mix to help cool.

5- Add eggs, one at a time.

6- Pipe onto parchment

7- Bake at 425 for 10 minutes

8- Turn the oven down and bake at 350 for 10 more minutes.

9- Fill with your favorite filling (using a star tip pastry bag)

Lindsey made the filling while I was making red velvet cupcakes so I don’t know what exactly it was, but I to know it was amazing!

Here’s what I know was in to but this isn’t a complete list-
Cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla, and probably a little cinnamon.

10- Finally, EAT
