DOG BISCUITS: Oatmeal Cookies with Peanut Butter

Recipe submitted on November 15th, 2008 Print This Post/Page

Our dog loves peanut butter, so we found this recipe for biscuits in the Tasty Treats for Demanding Dogs cookbook by Gregg R. Gillespie and gave it a try. They turned out great and "Brew" goes crazy for them.

RECIPE INGEDIENTS
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup uncooked rolled oats
2 t baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk, room temp.
1 T molasses
1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup chicken broth

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

RECIPE DIRECTIONS
Position rack in center of oven. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. In a large bowl mix flour, oats, and baking powder. In a medium bowl whisk milk, molasses, and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in broth.

Combine the two mixes, blending until a soft dough ball forms. Turn the dough to a floured surface and roll out to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out as many cookies as you can, reworking the scraps as you go.

Place the cookies on the sheet pansd and bake for 20 to 25 mins. Edges should be dry and golden brown. Remove from oven and cool at room temp. Turn off the oven.

After the cookies have cooled, put all the cookies on one sheet pan and put back in your oven. Leave them without opening overnight or about 8 hours. This will remove any remaining moisture.

Note: Make sure your dog is not sensitive to milk.

Cedar Park Philly’s

Recipe submitted on November 11th, 2008 Print This Post/Page

1 lb thinly sliced sirloin (ask the butcher to cut it "Philly style" and they will know what to do)
Half a very small yellow onion (diced)
5 button mushroom (sliced)
1 tsp tomato paste
2 glove minced garlic
1 cube beef bouillon
Beef Stock
Directions:
Fry the sirloin in as much extra virgin olive oil as you need, on high heat. Remove the sirloin from the skillet and sauté onions and garlic until onions are tender. Add tomato paste, then meat back to the party and stir all together. Next, pour enough beef stock on to almost cover the meat. Crumble in the bouillon.
Simmer on low heat until meat is tender, about one and a half hours. Most of the beef stock should have evaporated. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the goodness in a heated Philly roll with a slice of provolone cheese.
