Today I'm working on fur baby treats for the holiday. I've decided that if I'm absent of lots of babies around (my adored Granddaughter is in high school) I will treat all of the fur babies to a stocking stuffed with some goodies for the holiday. At least I can make those treats ahead of time - I don't think they'll mind.

| My finished pile of Doggie Treats |
I've really been getting into the "earth mother" thing lately. I actually wonder if that is a shoot off from working with the clay. The whole getting your hands dirty things has royally rubbed off for some reason. Baking bread has become a bi-weekly thing and the loaves are turning out phenomenally. My favorite is laced with asiago and cheddar cheese but no preservatives. It's nice and filling.
Anyway, I digress. Today's goodies are dog biscuits. My favorite (Trudy's too) and super easy recipe goes like this:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
2/3 cup flavored liquid (bouillon, broth, etc.)
6 Tbs. vegetable oil
1. Mix the ingredients.
2. Roll and cut into shapes. I like to roll it out and use a pizza cutter to make squares. I also
use a dog biscuit cutter.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 - 40 minutes.
There you go - that's all there is to it.
Trudy whole heartedly approves.

I'm pretty sure I've used this recipe to make treats for Cooper. He definitely loved them!
I need to try your recipe. I did this a couple of years ago for Christmas and Chase, our Shih Tzu, was not impressed. ;) However our daughter's dog, Bella, loved them.
You can see my recipe here:

Please ignore the McDonald's AD - no idea how that got on my old blog site. Ugh. I hate ADs.
I was worried about Trudy too at first. She's not one for new things. She'll take something new - roll it around in her mouth, spit it out and then if she decides it's cool - she eats. Once the inital "trial" is over with, then it's game on. This treat is definitely game on. Lela, I use beef broth and more than what the recipe says - maybe Chase would like that. I'll check out your recipe. There's always room for more goodies in the stockings!
