I
began cooking for my dogs years ago when one of them developed stomach issues.
That also happened to be around the time all those pet food recalls began. And
believe it or not, they’re still an issue. Just last week there was one, and
the week before that too. I’ve spent hours in the kitchen baking chickens,
boiling sweet potatoes, and making rice. Most people aren’t willing to go to
that extreme, but there is something you can do to help keep your pet safe. A
lot of the recalls involve dog treats. Instead of buying them, try making them
yourself. A favorite of mine is peanut butter dog biscuits. They’re quick and
easy. Just follow the recipe below for a healthy treat your dog will love.
Makes
about 3 dozen biscuits
2
cups whole-wheat flour
1
tablespoon baking powder
1
cup peanut butter
1
cup skim milk
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine
flour and baking powder in a bowl and mix well. In another bowl, microwave the
peanut butter for a few seconds to soften it, whisk in the milk, then slowly
stir in the flour and baking powder. Flatten the dough to about ½-inch
thickness and cut into 1 ½-inch squares.
Place
on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes, then turn over biscuits and
bake an additional 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
Store
in a covered container.

This is a great idea, and looks easy. I no longer have dogs, but when I get another, I'll try this.
ReplyDeleteI just read Janet Evanovich's Road to Romance, and the main character writes dog recipe books!
ReplyDeleteTally would love these!
ReplyDeleteMy dog loves them, but I've had to hide them. Bailey was driving me crazy. He kept going in the kitchen and wouldn't stop barking until I gave him one.
ReplyDeleteOur dogs LOVE peanut butter. I'm definitely going to make these. Sage and Elmo will be so happy! :)

ReplyDeleteThis looks like something my puppy would absolutely love! Baking some this weekend. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteRaine, after the reading the list of ingredients, I think I'd be tempted to eat these myself!
