Here, everyone’s favourite dog loving chef/television personality, Rachael Ray, shares a healthy, seasonal, and seriously tasty dog-approved dish. Let your pup celebrate the season with her quick recipe for a delish, healthy bacon-spiked dinner both you and your dog can enjoy. Yum-o!

INGREDIENTS

2 slices bacon
1 carrot, shredded
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
¼ red bell pepper, chopped
½ cup cooked broccoli florets
½ cup cooked brown rice
2 tsp turmeric
2 Tbsp grated parmigiano-
reggiano cheese

DIRECTIONS

In a medium saucepan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon bacon grease from the skillet.
Add the carrot, celery, and bell
pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli, brown rice, and turmeric and cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool.
Serve the rice in a dog dish. Crumble the bacon on top and let it snow with the parmigiano-reggiano!
