I know that many of us have dogs who mean a lot to us, so how about some recipes for them? I'll start with a few easy ones of ours that we make all the time.
Doggy "Ice Cream"
Pour into plastic cups (I use the 3oz. ones) and freeze. I cover each individually with a bag and rubber band in case of spills, but that's up to you.
The dogs love them -- so much better than those "Frosty Paws" garbage at the grocery store ... which, in addition to being like $3-4 for a 4-pack, taste like pure salt. (What, you don't sample your dogs' food?)
Beef & Cheese Biscuits
Roll onto floured surface to about 1/4-inch thick and cut into desired shapes. Bake at 350* for about 30-35 minutes, but it may take more depending on how thick you make them. They should be hard when you take them out.
I usually make 4x the recipe about once a month, and it makes a lot. WARNING: This makes our dogs turn their noses up at store-bought treats, so be warned! It will turn them into dog treat EACs! My aunt has been known to snack on these when she comes over.
