Dog Biscuits - Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

Hi again,

As we are nearing Thanksgiving, I decided to make some chicken and sweet potato dog biscuits for Bree and Hazel so that they can enjoy a Thanksgiving treat also. They both enjoyed eating the treat and begged for more. The dog biscuits are not as hard or crunchy as I would prefer, but nonetheless, they both think it's yummy. Try it out for your special dog or pup. Recipe provided below. Check out the pictures too.

2) Cook the diced sweet potato in a pot.

3) In a large bowl, add wheat flour and oats, and mix together.

5) Roll dough with a rolling pin on a flat hard surface at a 1/4 inch and use your favorite cookie cutters.

Cupcakes

Hi again,

October is a month of birthday celebrations and recently some of my family members celebrated their birthdays. I decided to bake some butter pecan cupcakes with chocolate frosting and topped off with a few variety of sprinkles I had in my cupboard. It was definitely moist and the flavor was outstanding! For the sprinkles, I used small round sprinkles, white sugar pearls, and color candy coated chocolate chips. I'm not in no means of a professional decorator, but  I do try my best to make them all look nice, lol. Try out this flavored cake mix, if you can't make them from scratch, try out the Betty Crocker cake mix. 

One of the members was my baby girl Bree and she turned one years old. I don't have any kids at the moment, so Bree and the others are my babies. She loves treats, so I baked a few peanut butter and oats bone shaped dog cookies, which one side was dipped in melted carob. Also some cupcake dog cookies. Of course we had to share some with her friends at the park. There is a blog post with the peanut butter and oats dog cookies recipe just incase you would like to try it out. 

For The Love Of: Peanut Butter and Oats Dog Biscuits

Hi again!

I have a 10 month old pup named Bree. I've learned so much from her and about her. I love spoiling her with dog treats, toys, and dog essentials that it is starting to get expensive. Some of my friends at the dog park have started to bake their own dog biscuits, which I thought was a good idea. Although they have not shared with me their own recipes, I decided to find some recipes that were easy to make and bake.

For the dog lovers and owners, here is a recipe you should try out. Your dog will love it! With this recipe, I have made one half just plain peanut butter and the second half with peanut butter and oats. It's a 2 in 1 recipe!

Peanut Butter and Oats Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 cup peanut butter (smoothed preferred)
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup oatmeal

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk. Add wet mixture to dry, and mix well. Divide dough in half and put the second half in another bowl. Add oatmeal only on one half of the dough and mix well.

Turn out dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Knead each dough separately. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out shapes with any cookie cutter. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Cool on a rack and store in an airtight container.

Makes about 20-30 dog biscuits.
