BETTY BOOP & our kiten co-star s are in my new Zazzle Store
Meet Betty Boop — the smooth Chow with star power
Owned by my talented photographer friend Kimberly Kato Kinder, Betty was one of my very first DOG IN THE KITCHEN™ Photo Call winners
As her recipe card proudly declares…
“Betty Boop may be too smooth to cook… but she never misses a taste test.”
And trust me — she has excellent taste.
Boop’s Best Rub is where the fun begins.
A little smoky, a little sweet, a little bold… and completely open to your own creative twist. Swap a spice, add a pinch, turn up the heat — this blend is meant for kitchen adventures.
Sprinkle it on, mix it in, or gift it in a cute little jar to your favorite flavor-loving humans (bonus points if there’s a dog supervising nearby ).
This one’s for Betty…
and for everyone who believes the best recipes start with a little curiosity and adventure —
and end with a very enthusiastic taste test. Drop me a comment below on how you like this rub and any variations you have made from it!! ENJOY
