Don't forget the dog...

...or the cat! These are a couple of super easy, simple and delicious (don't ask) recipes for the pets or pet lovers in your life. I wasn't totally prepared to do this post, hence the lack of presentation, but I was thinking these would be so cute wrapped up in a little dog bowl with a toy. Or a cellophane bag with a cookie cutter. Or... Well you get the idea, use your imagination peeps :) (BTW-They have tons of pet goodies in Target dollar spot.)

Cat

These are our two little recipients. I use the word "little" very loosely for the animal on top, but don't tell her that. And yes we do have matching animals...No, we didn't do it on purpose!



OK, first off Dog Treats:

1 c. Flour
1 c. Wheat Flour
1/2 c. Corn Meal (yellow is fine)
1/2 c. Powdered Milk
1 t. Packed Brown Sugar
1t. Garlic Powder
1/4 t. Salt
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and toss to combine.
Then add:
1 Beaten Egg
1/2 c Cheddar Cheese
1/4 c Parmesan Cheese
1/3 c. Beef or Chicken broth (warmed)

Mix well and knead 8-10 times on a lightly floured surface. Roll out to 1/2in thickness and cut with cookie cutter. Arrange on ungreased baking sheet and bake at 250 for 1 hour. Cool on wire rack. Makes about 2 dozen, depending on size.

Now, if you want to make this even easier and give it to friends or neighbors, you can just mix up all the dry ingredients and put them in a cute cellophane bag and attach the instructions for the rest of the ingredients.

Cat treats:

1/2 c. Canned Tuna (small can)
1 c. Bread Crumbs
1 T. Oil
1 Beaten Egg
1/2 t. Brewer's Yeast

Mix all ingredients and drop by 1/4 teaspoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet; bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cool to room temperature; store in airtight container. Makes about 4 dozen.

In High School, I volunteered at an animal shelter and made these almost every Saturday to take up there, they were a huge hit! I hope you try these (not literally:) or gift them to the pet lovers in your life! Enjoy!!
