This one's for the Dogs

For dinner tonight I am making the following:

Cheesey Dog Cookies
2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp.garlic powder
1/2 c. vegetable oil
4 - 5 Tbsp. water

Combine everything except water. Whisk in food processor until consistancy of cornmeal. Then add water until mixture forms a ball. Roll it into 1/2" thickness and cut into shapes. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets about 10 min. (depending on size of shapes) at 400. Cool and store in refrigerator.


Beefy Doggie Cookies
2 6-once jars of beef-and-vegetable baby food

1 cup of wheat germ
2 cups of nonfat dry milk

Preheat your oven to 350. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl with a fork. Drop by small spoonfuls onto a greased pan. You can flatten slightly or you can cut into fun shapes such as bones, paws, ect. Bake for 12-15 minutes until slightly brown at the edges. Let cool. Store in fridge for up to one week. Give to your pooch and let them enjoy!

Actually, this is what I am making for all of my k-9 friends for Christmas. How easy?! And really....who doesn't have a dog.

I am going to wrap them up in newspaper or butcher paper so it will look like meat from the butcher. I suppose you could make cat treats too...if you are into that kind of thing...which I am not! I just googled dog treat recipies and there were tons. Some easier than others...and some that I thought about really making them for dinner. Hope you try making some too for your furry friends...and who knows some of these might wind up in your paw!
