Peanut butter dog treats

By Anonymous -
I love my dog. I mean, a lot. She is part of our family. And yet, it doesn't bother me to buy dog treats in the pet store. Not one bit.
But then I went to visit my parents, you see, and my father is always doing something. Like making dog treats for his two dogs. And Sally, she loved them. And they're not hard to make. And are definitely less expensive than buying them in the grocery store.
So I made my own dog treats today. I'll be making these again, along with the other recipe my dad gave me. And possibly some other ones that I find online.
I know. I'm now one of those crazy dog people. I'm trying to come to terms with that.

This is adapted from a Rachel Ray recipe my dad got from somewhere. I don't know where.

2 c. whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
2 pinches cinnamon
1 c. peanut butter
1 c. milk

Combine whole wheat flour, baking powder and cinnamon in large bowl. In medium bowl, microwave peanut butter for 15 seconds to soften, then combine with milk. Stir peanut butter mixture into dry ingredients.
After combined, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Either cut out with very small cookie cutters (which is what I did today) or cut into 1" squares (like my dad).
Bake 5-6 minutes, flip, and bake 5-6 minutes more.
Cool completely before feeding to dog. Who will love you even more than she/he already does.

a) you are totally a crazy dog person now, but that's a good thing

and

b) is it wrong that I read that list of ingredients and thought "hey, that sounds pretty good"? did you taste any? :)

Ha. Remember there's NO SUGAR in these dog treats. I didn't try one, but Gaby did and she says they're no good.

I was wondering the same thing! There's no shame in being a crazy dog lady:>

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my...

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi...

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
