Dog Treats

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
This one is for our doggies!!


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
  • 1/2 cup oats
Blend wet ingredients, except water or broth. Whisk dry ingredients together and mix into wet mixture. Add water or broth just so you can form and roll out. Cut out with your favorite or seasonal cookie cutters. Bake at 350 until edges are golden brown. 


I hope your dog loves them as much as mine. They might just show up all dressed up ready for more dog biscuits.

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.
