My sweet Stella Rose turned one this past April and since she loves puppy dogs we decided to throw her a Puppy Party! I wanted to provide lunch and it was a kid filled event so I created a puppy themed menu. Two of the biggest hits off the menu were the Ruff-age Veggie Cups and the Water Bowl Jello. 
Stella sure had a great time at her Puppy Party! 
In honor of the movie, The Secret Life of Pets coming out this weekend, I am sharing these two fun puppy themed party recipes with y’all! I know your kiddos will love them as much as Stella and her party guests did! 
Comment below and let me know what you think of this hilarious movie. We have been dying to see The Secret Life of Pets since we first saw the preview for it last year! So you better believe we are going to see it today, on opening day! 

Scroll down for a The Secret Life of Pets recipe and craft roundup!

    I love your party ideas! This is a great way to have a blast and still stay healthy. My nephew’s 7th birthday is coming up a week from now and this is an excellent party theme. Those Veggie cups are yummy and since I’m doing the 3 Day Military Diet, those party foods are so diet friendly. I think you’re the only Mom who thought of serving veggies in a party! If you want to know about the Military diet and maybe do a quick review of it for all your readers like me, here’s a good resource link http://3daysmilitarydiet.com/effect/what-is-the-military-diet.html
