Ryan and I had tentative plans to go out to eat tonight to celebrate my blog milestone (we still haven’t gone out to enjoy a sit-down meal in our new hometown since we moved back in July), but a late meeting at work for Ryan foiled our plans.
We’re thinking we may reschedule them for Friday night. Sounds good to me!
Ryan’s late meeting also meant I got hungry for dinner before he got home… and I just couldn’t seem to wait.
I didn’t want to snack and snack and snack and then not be hungry for dinner by the time he got home (this has happened one too many times!), so I just went ahead and fixed myself a plate.
Tonight’s dinner included an Aidells apple chicken sausage. (Seriously I can’t bare to use descriptive words to describe a sausage because they all inevitably turn into one giant TWSS.)
I topped the sausage with the usual suspects. Ketchup, sautéed onions, relish and mustard.
I’m also pretty sure every single close up picture of a sausage somehow manages to look wildly inappropriate.
I ate my apple chicken sausage along with roasted broccoli. I had plenty of broccoli leftover for Ryan until someone got a little sneaky when she was left alone in the kitchen.
As you can see, Sadie tried on her new Halloween t-shirt that we bought her at Target this weekend.
The creatures that shall not be named may have ruined her previous pumpkin shirt. Ew. So glad were out of that place!
Sadie Fun Fact: She was dubbed “Pumpkin” as a puppy before we got her and named her Sadie so her new shirt is quite fitting.
Maria@La_Piattini says
I loveeee Sadie’s costume- too cute!
Leslie says
omgosh how adorable is Sadie!?
Sweet and Savvy says
Love Sadie’s t shirt!! 🙂 And I can totally understand about not wanting to wait for dinner. I know some people who wait until 9-10 PM every night for dinner and I have no clue how they do it!
Dawn @ Blonde on a Mission says
All of my comments are TWSS-laden too.
Sadie is absolutely adorable…. pumpkin 😀 <3
She looks like she's asking how it looks on her. Too precious.
Oh, and
I love sausage. Especially the thick, juicy ones.
Lauren says
Aww! I always think, “Sadie can’t get any cuter”…and then she does.
Sarah says
Aww, love Sadie’s shirt! I think I’ll need to hit up Target for that shirt for my little Boston Terrier puppy, Lola. 🙂
And, umm… I *love* sausages!! TWSS. Actually, only Aidell’s sausages to be exact. They make this amazing Spicy Mango & Jalapeno and Habanero & Green Chile chicken sausage. Yum!
peanutbutterfingers says
oooh i’ve never tried the spicy mango one! is it really spicy or just kinda spicy? i’m intrigued!
Sarah says
The Spicy Mango sausage is just kinda spicy, not super spicy. 🙂 The mango adds a little sweetness and the jalapeno gives it just a subtle kick. SO good!
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
mmmm, juicy, big, sausage. Delish. Also, that dog is just so darned photogenic.
The Healthy Engineer says
I’ve always wanted to see a dog dressed up as a pumpkin!!!
Cuter than I imagined 😀
Sana says
I just adore that t-shirt :)!
Anna @ Food Fitness Frolicking says
I LOVE Sadies costume!!!! She is HILARIOUS!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Cute costume!!
I am a fan of ketchup and mustard as codiments–yumm! Hope Ryan gets home soon for ya 😉
Mallory @ It's Only Life, After All says
Laughed out loud at your sausage comment. What does TWSS stand for? I feel like I should know this haha.
Annie says
It means “that’s what she said”
peanutbutterfingers says
“that’s what she said” – it’s from the office 🙂
Tracy @ Tracy's Treats says
Gah she is so cute! Big dogs with clothes makes me giggle.
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
As long as you celebrate sometime!!! 🙂 You two need to go out and enjoy yourselves because all of us can’t celebrate with you!
Heather S says
Sadie is too freaking cute! She reminds me so much of my little daschund except taller! They are both extra lean 🙂 her costume this year will be the classic weinie outfit..two buns with mustard! Last year she kept using her buns as pillows haha
peanutbutterfingers says
yes! i always think little daschunds look like sadie!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
The Husband never minds if I eat if he’s giong to be late. I figure if I get too hungry I’ll overeat and I don’t want to do that – he totally understands!
Shaya (Eye Girl Eats) says
That sausage looks so juicy, sitting between those buns! Man how I’d like to get my mouth around that!
(decided to go there for you hahaha)
Does Sadie get mad gas problems from all the human food? If we gave our family pug broccoli, no one would be getting to sleep that night.
peanutbutterfingers says
oh yes. but she has gas all the time anyway. she’s staaanky.
Shari @ The Daily Dish says
Sadie looks so cute in that shirt! 🙂
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Love the pumpkin shirt! Too cute 🙂
Ali @ Ali Runs says
Love love love the pumpkin shirt! 🙂 I must go pick one up!
peanutbutterfingers says
$6.99 at Target!
Linz says
so cute!!! our dog, zoey, has a pumpkin costume also! a couple years ago, i dressed up as a pumpkin (like zoey) and my hubby went as peter peter pumpkin eater! it was so disgusting but so funny.. we put orange makeup crap around his mouth and glued pumpkin seeds on a black shirt. plus he wore a name tag that said “peter peter” it still makes me laugh even though it is SO perverted!
Nathan Miller says
Sorry had to google TWSS..ha..nice
Alisa @ Running with Knives says
I love those chicken sausages! I eat them without bun and condiments. Generally, I slice them up and saute with other things, like shallots and apples.
peanutbutterfingers says
oooh i love that idea!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
Sadie is so cute in her pumpkin shirt!
Blair says
Sadie is so cute!!! 🙂
Liz @ Southern Charm says
Love Sadie’s outfit! That’s so awesome she wears it! I’ve had two dogs. My first would allow me to dress her up. My current dog is not a fan … at all.
Once in law school, I put her in a LSU jersey for the game and remember walking down the stairs to find my roommate’s dog tugging at the jersey, while my dog, Sydney, was trying to get out. Priceless!
Ty says
Sadie looks ADORABLE.
D’awwwwwwwww.
And you are so right about the sausage. 😉
Emily @ Perfection Isn't Happy says
I had a hot dog and fruit last night for dinner. In my case, the hot dog probably wasn’t the most nutritious thing I could have chosen, but it was just so simple..and still tasted good :).
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
i love that sadie likes broccoli! i drop a veggie on the ground and my pups turn their noses right up.
p.s. our puppy was named ke$ha by the shelter we got her from! needless to say, she was renamed…
peanutbutterfingers says
ke$ha!? LOL
Faith says
Sadie is precious. I wish my two labs fit into those cute Halloween t’s and costumes at Target. I guess 100 lbs (ea) of lab lovin’ is more than Target can handle…at least that’s what I tell the boys so they don’t get their tender doggy feelings hurt.
Lauren says
Sausages and half peeled bananas always seem wildly inappropriate in ANY picture. haha
That sweater is TOO cute
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
that shirt is adorable! and no, there is no way that sausage does not look inappropriate… sounds good though!
Anna @ Acquainted With The Night says
Love the Halloween shirt!
Too bad my dog is 16 and wouldn’t let me dress her!
PS I think the TWSS jokes are hilarious! 😀
Stephanie R says
They just mentioned “Peanut Butter Fingers” in an episode of FRIENDS! 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
best show EVER.
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
Sadie cracks me up! So cute in her pumpkin t-shirt. Does she really eat broccoli? That’s crazy!
peanutbutterfingers says
i know! she loves it. it’s her favorite vegetable. so strange! she’s a fan of cauliflower, too.
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Sadie is so cute in that pumpkin shirt! My dog turns her nose up at any vegetable, Sadie fits into the healthy living world much better 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
sadie turns her nose up at any carbs. strange, huh? bread, baked goods, etc. – unless they have pumpkin or peanut butter in them.
Ari @ Ari's Menu says
I LOVE Sadie’s shirt!!! Dressing up puppies is my favorite part of Halloween and just might be my favorite part of fall. Last year all of my friends and I sat at home with our dogs in costume and wondered when we got to be so old haha, but I can’t think of a better way to spend Halloween!
Khushboo says
Bananas, cucumbers, sausages can never escape a TWSS!!
Sarah Jane MacMillan says
Do you roast fresh or frozen broccoli usually?
peanutbutterfingers says
fresh – i’ll steam frozen broccoli for in recipes and pasta though.
Meghan says
Congrats on 2 years today! I love Sadie’s shirt, my hubby won’t let me put halloween costumes on our dogs 🙁
alex says
We bought our dog a little skeleton jacket…can’t wait for him to wear it!! It is very manly and my husband actually loves it!
Lauren says
Awww, Sadie’s costume is precious!! I can’t believe it’s time to dress up the pups again. 🙂
Hillary says
Even the word “sausage” makes me giggle. Hi, I’m 26 going on 5.
Annie says
i want to dress my husky up for the Pet Rescue by Judy Dog Dash on October 29, but my husband is firmly against dressing her up!
I had to explain to him that he doesn’t get to decide what I do with the dog 😛 ha ha!
Now the task is to think of a killer costume for a sparkling white ball of fur on crack! (Mila is reeeeally energetic… I actually think her and Sadie would have a grand ole time together)
Becky @ Fit Chick on the Fly says
OMG I have to get Jersey a halloween T, that’s so adoreable. Except I’m not too sure Mike will approve of me dressing her up!
Jessica @ Sushi and Sit-Ups says
Awww I love Sadie’s Halloween outfit! I love apple chicken sausage. My favorite is to cut it up and sautee with onions, peppers, granny smith apple chunks and a little brown sugar then serve over brown rice. Tastes like fall!
Hope says
Aw! I love Sadie’s Halloween shirt! She is too cute for words! 🙂
I am dying to try apple chicken sausage! It’s never on sale near me and I can’t bring myself to buy it without a coupon! Hopefully it will go on sale soon. It’s sounds way too yummy to pass up!
My Blonde Moments says
Aw…Sadie is so cute in her Halloween get-up!
Ruthie Hart says
I love her shirt!! DId you get it this year?? I need to hit up Target to see if their pup costumes are out!
Katy @ HaveYouHurd says
Hahaha. Cracking up at your sausage and TWSS comments. My husband LOVES sausage (seriously it’s his favorite food) and everytime he or I tell people that we go ahead and follow it up with a “TWSS.” Also Sadie looks adorable. My parent’s dog Pepper has that same outfit! Sooo fashionable. 🙂
