    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

As you might guess, Martha loves Thanksgiving. She's cooked turkey in many different ways (grilled, deep-fried, among others). This year, she's roasting turkey three ways.

Roast Turkey with Cornbread Stuffing

This is her favorite method -- a butter-and-wine-soaked cheesecloth keeps the bird moist as it roasts and adds great color. 

This will be served with cornbread stuffing, which can be cooked inside the turkey or separately.

Spatchcocked Turkey and Chestnut Stuffing

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Turkey #2 will be a spatchcocked bird. All you do is cut out the backbone, press the turkey to flatten, and brush with a mix of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

There's no stuffing in a spatchcocked turkey, but you definitely want stuffing as part of the Thanksgiving feast. This year, Martha's version includes mushrooms.

Parchment Turkey and Brioche & Butternut Squash Stuffing

The technique for Turkey #3 ensures super-moist meat throughout: The bird is wrapped in parchment, creating a cozy steam packet, then the packet is ripped open and the oven cranked up to brown the skin until crackling‐crisp.

This bird has a brioche stuffing, which Martha will omit the chestnuts from this year.

Glazed Carrots

Cooked in the classic French method, the carrots are simmered in water and butter. Then the liquid is evaporated so the carrots are tender and glazed in butter.

Martha will also serve a celeriac puree -- she loves the subtle nutty taste of celery root.

Raw Cranberry Relish

A very simple relish that can be made in the food processor. As well as cranberries, this relish calls for navel orange, kumquats, and pomegranate seeds. (Martha didn't use pecans in her relish this year.)
