Gluten Free Puppy Chow Recipe

Puppy Chow is a long-time Kindergarten teacher recipe.  🙂  I haven’t made it since moving to Panama as imported cereals like Chex or Crispex are way too expensive!  However, I found this big bag of Brown Rice Puffed Cereal at Organica for $2.50.  Since we have a couple of children in our group that eat gluten free and this was shaped enough like dog food, I though it would be perfect for making gluten free puppy chow.  (This is a repost from our white dog fun, spring 2012.)

Here’s what we used for a little healthier/more frugal option:

  • 1/4 cup nut butter
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 4 1/2 cups puffed rice cereal (or Gluten Free Chex/Crispix)
  • 3/4 cups powdered sugar (made in the Vita-mix)

Melt the chocolate chips over low heat (stovetop or microwave, you decide!).  

Add the nut butter and stir until smooth.  

Mix in the cereal, stirring it gently until well-coated.  

Now for the fun part…

Put the powdered sugar in a bag, and dump in the cereal.  Seal it…then shake, shake, SHAKE!!

Taaa  Daaa!!  Puppy Chow.

Of course, it tastes better if you eat it like a puppy too!

Our first furbaby was a Westie, and the Panamá 🇵🇦 humidity made for a miserable life full of itchy skin.  Yesterday we surprised our children with a new baby “Bibi dog.”

Let me tell you about the faces behind Spanglish Schoolhouse.  My name is Jana. (Think 🍌Jana banana, not Jay-na.) I’m a northern California girl who decided at 5 years old I was going to be a Kindergarten teacher.  For the past 20 school years, I have found a way to teach 4-6 year olds.  How fun is that!
.:.
Somewhere in my college years, a love for Spanish language and culture took over my heart.  I had no idea how it would all work out, but thankfully the Lord did.
.:.
(Fast forward a few years…if you want the full version, there will be a book someday.  The story is that good! 😉)
.:.
15 years ago today, our "Spanglish team" became official.  We left our familiar cultures behind, and began married life in our new home of Panama. 🇵🇦
.:.
So…who is my 🇨🇴Colombian 🍊"media naranja”? His name is Luigi, a.k.a. the most amazing husband on this planet.  He is officially our graphic designer, but I think MacGyver is a much better job description. 🧰 Whether it has to do with our business, children, home, car, pets, you name it…he is the trouble shooter that always finds a way to fix the problem.
.:.
Not many people are fortunate enough to be able to live and work with their best friend.  We are SO grateful for the opportunity!
.:.
Anyone else here work with their best friend, or dream about working together someday? 🤩
