Food goodness

I'm at it again with the dog treats. I can't help it, Sally ate all the other ones. That may be partially due to Ernie and Gaby liking to feed them to her, because she gets so very excited. These were not quite as easy to make, because the dough is more crumbly. But I think Sally actually likes them better than the peanut butter ones. Of course, that is probably because they're filled with bacon-y goodness. 2 packages real bacon bits 3 1/2 c. whole wheat flour 1/4 c. beef broth 1 c. corn meal 3/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/3 c. warm water Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal and bacon bits. In a large measuring cup, stir together 1 1/3 c. warm water and the broth and pour into dry ingredients. Add the olive oil and stir together to form a loose dough. Knead on a work surface until smooth. Roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thick, and then cut into 1-inch squares. Bake 12 minutes, flip, and then bake 12 more minutes. Let cool completely.

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...
