Throw The Dog A Bone

Miss J has started her own little market business with the help of Moth Hair. Together they turned out 2 batches of Gourmet Dog Treats; Peanut Butter Poppers and Cheddar Bites. The most fun was had making the treats. We are blessed to have Moth Hair to do all the fun stuff with!

Peanut Butter Poppers

2 cups whole-wheat flour

1 tbsp. baking powder

1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)

1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 375'F. In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk, then add to dry ingredients and mix well. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Bake for 20 minutes on a greased baking sheet until lightly brown. Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container. --- This is the original recipe, but I have found the cookies burn easily.

Cheddar Bites

The Cheese Dog

1 cup Rolled Oats

1/3 cup Margarine

1 cup Boiling Water

3/4 cup Cornmeal

1 tablespoon Sugar

2 teaspoons Beef Bouillon

1/2 cup Milk

1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 Egg

2 - 3 cups Whole Wheat Flour

In large bowl, combine rolled oats, margarine and boiling water; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in cornmeal, sugar, bouillon, milk, cheese and egg; mix well. Add flour 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form dough.

Knead in remaining flour until dough is smooth and no longer sticky (about 3 to 4 minutes). Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness, cut with square shaped cookie cutter. Place treats 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake in preheated oven at 325°F for 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before serving.
