Mutt Treats

Mazy, my beloved little dashie, may be in store for some yummies for her tummy! I caught this clip on the Today Show (via internet). They interviewed the author of a new doggie cookbook. I will put this book on my future purchase list. Mazy may have a surprise soon as I hope to try the recipe below for Pupsicles! I may even try the Barkin' Biscuits!

Cheesy Bark’n Biscuits

Amy Stevens' Yoga 4 Dogs

4 dozen

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups whole-wheat flour

• 1 cup unbleached flour

• 1/2 cup freshly grated Cheddar cheese

• 2 tablespoons canola oil

• 4-5 slices fully cooked and crisp bacon (crumbled)

• 1 to 1 1/4 cup water (add more if needed)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix flour and cheese in a large bowl; add crumbled bacon, oil and water, mix well with hands. Form the dough into a ball and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.

Using half of the dough at a time, place on a floured surface and roll to ¼" thick. Cut into desired shapes and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes on middle rack or until lightly brown.

Turn oven off when done and leave biscuits in the oven to cool (about 20 minutes).

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
