My Dog Drinks Green Smoothies (or My dog eats better than most people) If you haven’t met Beau you would love him. He is our 10 year old boxer.

Homemade Wholegrain mustard vinaigrette by fresh ingredients

Oil & Vinegar Dressing Making your own dressing is simple: I often use: ratio of 1 part vinegar 2 parts oil (i.e. 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of flax seed oil with 1 tablespoon of vinegar) sprinkle in a little salt and fresh black pepper.
