Good morning! Sorry I missed you all yesterday. My Mom alerted me to my lack of post when she called inquiring as to whether I'd been kidnapped. The truth is, I was sitting at my computer yesterday morning, ya know, drinking my coffee - eating my oatmeal, and just plum forgot to post. Not today, friends! Not today.
You want to know what those are above? Those are dog treats. I made home-made dog treats yesterday night. They are actually insanely easy but a bit calorie-dense so you have to dole them out sparingly. Want to know how, other dog owners?
2 cups flour (they say rye, but honestly who has that lying around - I used all purpose)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup of shredded parmesan cheese (or 1/4 cup of Nutritional Yeast but only Vegans have that laying around).
1 teaspoon garlic powder (apparently a natural flea repellent - I don't know about that but it probably tastes good)
(mix it up)
2 strips of bacon fried really crispy
2/3 cup beef or chicken broth
2 tablespoons leftover bacon grease (basically all that's left from frying the bacon)
Mix broth + bacon fat and then make a dough with the wet + dry. Crumble in the bacon.
Roll it out really flat using flour to make it less sticky, and make cookies! Two 1-inch x 1-inch cookies is the max number per day for a dog (calorie-wise). Bake treats at 350 for 10-20 mins depending on how hot your oven is. (Ours is from about 1950 and is an inferno).
Adapted from: "Feed Your Best Friend Better" (yes, I have a dog food cookbook).
The dogs really like them :)
And Brian even thought they looked good.
Carpe diem!
