This is Obsessed: my weekly column devoted to sharing all the things I’m loving right now—from unique food and gift ideas to travel destinations and beauty products—plus some tips and tricks for living your best life.

Anyone who’s close to me knows that I’m obsessed with two things: Ina Garten and my dog Grits. And in a moment of pure serendipity while I was watching The Barefoot Contessa last night, these two very different worlds collided.

In the episode titled “Cocktails and Cookies,” Ina had two friends and their adorable pup over for a cooking and cocktail-making lesson. Naturally, she shook up some Blood Orange Cosmos and made her new four-legged friend some Whole Wheat & Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits because she’s the ultimate hostess (even for dogs). 

Ina says in the episode that she tested her homemade treats against a comparable store brand on several dogs, and they all immediately ran to her version and gobbled them down. Apparently, when it comes to dog treats, even in Ina’s world, store-bought is not fine. 

Although Ina can do no wrong, there’s one thing I can’t seem to wrap my mind around with these dog treats. They have 21, 5-star ratings on Food Network, which is a little confusing. Dogs obviously can’t write recipe reviews, so are humans sampling the treats? Or are they rating them based on ease and/or how much their dog liked them? I’m really hoping it’s the latter option, but I digress.
