George's Sweet Potato Flaxseed Bread
|
|
by Kathleen O'Neill
1/3 c. flax seed
1 c. all purpose flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 c. yogurt
3 T. applesauce
1/4 c. honey
1 large egg
1 1/2 c. mashed cooked sweet potato
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place flaxseed in a grinder or blender and process until coarsely ground. Combine flaxseed, flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat yogurt, applesauce, honey, and egg, stir in sweet potato. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until moist.
Spoon batter into a greased 8"x4" loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

A Christmas Tree for the pets
|
|
|
Want to include a little something for the parrots in your holiday decor? Get a cardboard tree for them, and decorate it with parrot toys! It's a parrot'dise holiday dream come true!
Pro tip: If you get a laser cut cardboard tree from Cardboard Safari, open the package and let it air out for 2-3 days in another room before assembling it and giving it to the birds. They initially have a "burnt" smell from the laser cutter. It subsides after a few days.

Thanks to you, our volunteers, friends, members, and supporters, we met all the matching funds during November's Match Challenge for the Healthy Parrot Medical Fund! The parrots thank you! A big key to ensuring they are healthy is veterinary care.
