Dog gone it!

My life has gone to the dogs as of late.

It all started with a good intention of buying my dogs “organic” treats.

I’m very picky of what I feed my dogs…

No table scraps…

Holistic food….

Veggies for snacks…they love fresh green beans, red peppers, carrots and cabbage!

I got reeled in by good marketing and packaging. What a disaster!

Their reaction to the new snacks didn’t go over well. It started as a small ripple and turned into a full blown tidal wave. I’m not going into the ugly details here. Just trust me – it was ugly. We finally rented a carpet cleaner on Sunday – a half hour after we returned it to the store – bam!

Needless to say, I threw everything out and resolved to make treats for them myself. It ended up being easier than I thought. My kitchen smelled wonderful…in fact, my Hubby came home and took a bite out of one just because they smelled so good. Other than not being sweet and a bit hard – he said they tasted great!

Basic flavor comes from peanut butter, pumpkin and cinnamon…

Add more wholesomeness with whole wheat flour, eggs and a pinch of salt.

Mix in your mixer adding a big of water (a tablespoon at a time) until the dough pulls away from the bowl.

Dough will be dry and sticky.

Doggies like dry and sticky – or is it stinky?

Roll the dough out on a well-floured board to 1/2″ thick.

Cut with a cookie cutter.

Place on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degree until hard and crunchy.

Cool and…

well…

What are you waiting for?
