Did you know that yesterday was Fat Tuesday?
I celebrated with a sweet batch of Carrot Cake Pancakes.
On what might just be the world’s cutest plate ever: it’s a turtle (purchased at the amazing Pearl River Mart).
And what did I spread on top of the pancakes? Look up the word “obsession” in the dictionary and you’ll see: What Katie has with Artisana Coconut Butter. Just one taste of it, and you’ll understand.
In puppy-licious news:
Anyone watch the Westminster Dog Show last night? I didn’t watch much… but I did catch the Scottie! Molly slept right through it. She was not impressed with the winner.
I was excited to see how much attention shelter dogs got during the commercials. And Henry? Well, he ran away after seeing the Black Russion Terrier.
It looks like this Black Russian Terrier could eat poor Henry as a snack. 😕
If, after watching the dog show, you want to go out and buy a dog of a certain breed you saw last night, PLEASE look into rescues! Just type in the beed you want, followed by “rescue” (for example, “Scottie rescue”). There are so many shelter dogs–even pure breds–looking for a good home!
Heather Eats Almond Butter says
Yes, yes rescued pups are THE BEST!
OK, I think we need to change our blog names: Heather Eats Coconut Butter and Coconut Butter Covered Katie. 🙂
Janna (Just Flourishing) says
I actually love watching dog shows! They’re so funny! And I love watching the pups.
Ah Pearl River Mart, such a great place, and so close to me. I should stop in one of these days!
Next time I see that coconut butter, I’m buying it! For sure 🙂
Katie says
Okay, I did it. After reading about these amazing samples for 3 days on your blog – I just gave in, despite the fact that I don’t get paid until Friday. 🙂 I hope it’s worth it… (just kidding, when it comes to yummy food, I trust you implicitly)
Jenny says
m’mmm I would love a scottie shaped pancake with coconut butter right now 😉
The Brunette says
I recently bought coconut oil for the first time, but I’ve nver tried coconut butter. Reading your blog makes me think I need to suck up the price tag and just do it. The coconut oil makes stir fries so much better, so I’m sure spreading the butter on things is phenomenal.
The thought of a dog show is a little too much for me, but those pictures are so adorable!

The “free” part sounds great…but unfortunately I cannot make the primary necessary expenditure in order to then qualify for the free…
if it were just get things free, yay 🙂
but gotta spend first…so nay 🙁

Thank you for mentioning that you do not need to buy a purebred animal!! There are a few shelters around me with adorably puppies and kitties looking for homes, but I feel like they get passed over just because they don’t have a certain bloodline or are a little older. Breaks my heart… 🙁
Diann says
That Scottie is a beautiful dog and a deserving winner. I miss having a dog 🙁
Jessie says
LOVE watching the dog show, if only to see the humans perform on cue! 🙂

livelifeeatright says
I haven’t been able to find coconut butter in my local grocery store…is coconut oil the same thing?
Quix says
That is absolutely the cutest plate ever. That is all. 🙂

H Katie-I did see the dog show-and immediately my thoughts turned to you because of the Scottie winner!!It is a fun show-but it is true-there are so many unwanted dogs-and people, for that matter, in the world-it can get depressing.. I love your web site-and am definetly going to make some of the recepies! I will keep you posted-
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aunt Carol!! Oh my goodness I was so excited to see a comment from you! 🙂 🙂
I heard you guys went to the dog show. Did you see the Scottie? She was so pretty! Made scruffy Molly jealous. No, actually Molly slept through it.
I think you guys would like Fudge Babies:

In any case, I’m excited to see you at Michelle’s graduation!!
