For the Furry Ones...


Many of us have at least one of em...they greet us with penetrating eyes no matter what.  They are all about unconditional love...and they really mean it too!  Well, they do appreciate a treat now and then to keep the unconditional love thing fed. 

Today I focus on the love we have for our canine companions and the love they give us in return.  I am not as consistent as I should be in making this healthy treat for our three, but when I do, the level of excitement does seem elevated even though all excitement seems to be at the same "happy canine over the top level" for food and hikes and car rides and elk poop.  So make this healthy yummy biscuit recipe for your furry ones and get out the excite-o-meter and see if yours don't exude a higher level of happiness when you give them one or two or three or.......

Healthy Dog Biscuits

1 1/4 cups cornmeal
2 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried dill
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried mint
1 tsp dried oregano
1 1/4 cups water
1 beaten egg for glazing

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Blend all the dry ingredient and add the water and knead into a workable dough or use a food processor with the dough hook attachment.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/4 inch.
Cut with a cookie cutter (they will still eat em if you don't have a bone shaped one)
Prick with a fork for texture and decoration.
Brush top of cookies with the beaten egg and bake for 25 minutes.
Keep em in an airtight container....there are no preservatives after all.  Oh yeah, you can sample these yourself without any weird stigma attached because they are made of ingredients we humans eat all the time.

bow wow wow!
ciao!
