I`ve always been good about having veggies with dinners and such so my kids will eat just about any kind except beans. I also want to start weaning out the white potatoes and switch to sweet potatoes. That I know will be tough and the kids.....well not sure how crazy they`ll be with that, but it`s better for them in the long run.
So I thought if we`re going to try and do healthy I`d start with the dogs too :) Especially for Bella being she suffers from dermatitis. So today I ran to home goods bought me some dog cookie cutters and hit the grocery store with recipe for homemade biscuits in hand. Ok today was the first batch I made and they seemed to have liked it. The recipe was real simple. I think for the next one I`ll try one with more ingredients. The dogs gave me two paws up.
Geez if I could just get them to cooperate for a picture.
Heres the recipe for anyone who would like to try these. I found them on recipezaar.com
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup rolled oat
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 egg, beaten
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
2 jars strained baby food (, any flavor, all natural and no preservatives)
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
2 In a large bowl combine all ingredients together and make a thick dough.
3 Knead on a slightly floured countertop for about 4 minutes until the dough is nice and smooth.
4 Sprinkle a little more flour over the dough to make rolling easy.
5 Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
6 Use cookie cutters or a small drinking glass.
