I was on a baking spree this morning and made a loaf of banana nut bread and then moved on to making treats for the girls. I had been wanting to try this recipe for awhile and so glad I did! I thought it was the usual "roll out and cut out" type dough which I don't mind at Christmas time but for as many dog treats as I make it is time-consuming and messy. Surprise, surprise! These are not cut out....these are form the dough like a tube and "slice and bake"! I whipped them out in no time.
They look like miniature slices of whole wheat bread! LOL! The girls have yet to taste them so we'll see........
Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Dog Treats
They do use wheat flour and I'm not sure that is on the approved list from my vet. I have other flours I can use though such as oat and barley etc. Nitty is allergic to several things.
I was going to make my regular bread too but got distracted by the mail that arrived from Knit Picks!
I got my DPN's size 6 so I can continue knitting my sweater finally.............
Plus my first ever Felici sock yarn...........I think it is the Hibiscus colorway............it was actually the only one left! I've heard many good things about this yarn and one is the price! LOL!
I also received 5 skeins of pure wool for a project Iwill tell you more about on YOP Sunday........and I knitted my first gauge square! On top of that it came out fine the first time! It was supposed to be 4" X 4" and it was 4" X 4 1/4" which is close enough for me....better a little big than too small. It calls for size 11 needles and 2 strands knitted together neither of which I had used before. Those needles feel huge but so much fun and it creates a really squishy fabric.
My gift box is filling up.....washcloth #5, but actually these are all allocated already so I must continue on!
Remember the plant stand I got at a sale and it was brass? I painted it last fall and never utilized it but today I finally did...............I'm hoping Miss Peeps leaves it alone! There's another holder for a plant on the bottom but she would definitely get into that one so it will stay empty! LOL!
BTW..........the robins showed up here yesterday! I love them and their beautiful songs but it will be short lived as they are "just passing through" on their way North. They never stick around for our hot summers. I wish I could go with them!
Happy Trails!!!
I'm thinking to bake dog treats for one of the shelters so you'll have to let me know how your doggies like the treats. Of course I want a quick and easy recipe. You have much to keep you busy. Happy crafting.
ReplyDeleteThey snarfed them right down!
DeleteWhat a good mama you are to make your babies cookies. I think you’re going to love the Felici yarn. I know I do. I just cast on my first-ever two pair of socks at the same time on magical loop. We’ll see how that goes. I hope you have a lovely night and a great day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
Let me know how the 2-at-a-time goes! I've wanted to but always revert to my standard vanilla sock...so comforting. Are they cuff down or toe-up? Good luck! I need to do that because if it works it would make it so nice to finish a pair all at once.
DeleteCuff down. I’ve never mastered toe up. I have the cuffs done and I’m getting ready for the leg of the sack. So far so good.
DeleteI hope they like their treats...how sweet you are to make them. The robins are always here at Christmas time. We have a huge flock of goldfinches that turned up this week. We love them in our feeders! Enjoy your day and happy knitting! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI love robins....how great to have them at Christmas time!
DeleteHow sweet of you to bake for your canines. Yay for treating yourself to some fun yarn and pretty DPN's.
ReplyDeleteStefanie please leave me your new blog address. I went back to see it and put it in my side bar and it just said it was gone.
DeleteWe use rice flour for Chance. I bet they will enjoy the treats! We don't cut ours out just put them in a pan and score them and prick with a fork and bake. Then they bust apart!
ReplyDeleteYou have had a busy week:)
I think anything is better than the wheat flour for dogs.
DeleteCan a human eat them? Because they look rather yummy LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, there is nothing but pure ingredients and no sugar or salt!
ReplyDeleteRobins!!! A surefire sign of spring, lucky you! Ours come end of April usually! :) I love the plant holder and the pot and those DPN's are so cute! I love how they look! I'm bookmarking that dog cookie recipe because I can't handle cut outs anymore, you're right it's so messy and it takes too long, I like the slice and bake idea! :)
