Don't forget about our 4 legged family with this easy dog biscuit recipe. My dog loved these and so have the doggies that we gave them to. Here is an Amazon link that has plenty of cookie cutter choices to pick from. (AMAZON LINK) Making these dog biscuits will bring your dog into the kitchen as fast as they can! Your family will also love to help making these and will bring a big smile to their pets faces. 

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

• water or beef broth (about 1/2 cup)
• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 eggs
• 3 TBsp peanut butter
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup corn meal

Homemade Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients:

2 cups Flour

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1 pinch salt

2 tbsp butter

1 cup milk, a bit less than a full cup

2 quarts chicken broth

3 cups cooked chicken (I cooked mine in chicken broth)

1 can chicken broth for uncooked chicken

1 can cooked carrots

Directions:

 Cook chicken in chicken broth with added water about an inch over chicken in pot. Remove cooked chicken and reserve broth.

  In a bowl, combine the flour, baking and salt. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a fork. Stir in the milk, mixing with a fork until the dough forms a ball. Heavily flour the work surface. Roll the dough out thin with a heavily floured rolling pin. You can use a spatula to remove dumplings from surface. Cut dumplings with a pizza cutter or fancy cutter. Cut them about 2x2, or smaller. You can cut them whatever your preference is.

  To cook the dumplings, bring the broth to a boil. Drop dumplings in one at a time and stir constantly. Cook them until not doughy in the middle. About 20-30 minutes. Add chicken and carrots until warm. 

  I loved this recipe. Very tasty. Can't wait until I get to make it again.

Chicken Salad Sandwich

CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH

 Ingredients:

• 1 Tablespoon finely chopped red or white onion
• Mayo
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Thanks Ms. Sharra for this wonderful recipe!   She uses a little more Worcestershire sauce and a little more onion. Also, she say's you can vary the ingredients for your tastes, and it seems to taste different each time she makes it. But it is always good. And it is very, very GOOD.

Feta-Topped Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/4 lb)
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette dressing (don't omit, it's very good)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon seasoned pepper
• 1 large roma (plum) tomato, cut into 8 slices
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (1 oz)

Directions:

1. Set oven control to broil. Brush both sides of chicken breasts with dressing. Sprinkle both sides with Italian seasoning and seasoned pepper. Place on rack in broiler pan. If you don't have a broiling pan, you can make your own. Use a cooling rack and a casserole dish.

2. Broil with tops 4 inches from heat about 10 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear. (I usually turn mine more than once.) Thickest part of chicken will read 170. Top with tomato and cheese. Broil 2-3 min longer or until cheese is lightly browned.

Makes 4 servings.
