Sambone Special!Doggie Treat Recepies

Our first recepie is from Spago Executive Pastry Chef Sherry Yard-

Bachelor Dog Treats

Note: Yard suggests small cookie cutters such as this 3-inch dog bone, but you

can use larger cutters and bake the cookies a few minutes longer. She also

notes that her dog has a highly trained palette and prefers Wildflower honey

(She's joking, of course; there is all of 1 tablespoon of honey in these cookies.).

Yield: About 3 dozen small cookies

4 eggs, divided (2 for the dough, 2 for the wash)

1 ounce vegetable oil

1 tablespoon honey

8 ounces chicken stock

10 ounces whole wheat flour

5 ounces all purpose flour

3 ounces cornmeal

1 cup peanut butter

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together two of the

eggs, the oil and honey. Whisk in the chicken stock.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the

whole wheat flour, AP flour and cornmeal. With the mixer on medium speed,

slowly pour in the chicken stock mixture, then add the peanut butter. Mix until the

dough comes together, about 1 minute.


2/47

3. Divide the dough in half. Roll out each ball of dough approximately inch

thick. Cut into desired shapes using small (3 to 4-inch) cookie cutters. Place on

baking sheets sprayed with cooking oil.

4. Whisk the remaining two eggs and brush the egg wash lightly over the

cookies. Allow to dry for 10 minutes and brush with the egg wash a second time(the second wash is optional, but gives the cookies a darker brown color). Bake

until golden brown, about 15 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies.

Number two is from KingArthurFlour dot com and is called

Best of Breed Dog Biscuts

JESSE, Beagle mix: Perfect size for catching in mid-air; one of my many talents.Tastes good, too!


3/47

DIGBY, Glen of Imaal terrier (and proud of it!) I turn my nose up at inferiorbiscuits. A gentleman with my breeding demands the best and these are top-notch. Love the parsley; definitely adds that gourmet touch.

COOPER, Weimaraner: 5 stars, definitely; a big paws up. Good taste, verycrunchy, and too big for the cats to handle. Though they were sniffing around mybed for crumbs


4/47

TUCKER, border collie: Cant rate; had to gulp it down, too much competitionfrom that pesky Lab next door

SILVIO, Golden retriever/? mix, senior citizen: Mild but good flavor; and not toohard for my old teeth. I shared with Lenny and Obi, my cool cat pals; I like to stay


5/47


6/47

1 tablespoon dried parsley or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1/2 cup Bakers Special Dry Milk or nonfat dry milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

Stir to combine.

Add 2 large eggs and 1 cup (9 1/4 ounces) peanut butter, crunchy or plain.

Stir to combine; the mixture will be crumbly.


7/47

Add 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon cold water, or enough to make a cohesive dough.

Depending on the season, you may need to add a bit more (winter), or a bit less

(summer).

To make dog cookies, drop the dough in walnut-sized balls onto a lightly greasedor parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten to about 1/4 thick.


8/47

Ive used the pusher tool from a Cuisinart food processor, which makes a nice

imprint on top.

To cut out dogbone biscuits, roll the dough about 1/4 thick. No, its not pretty; itll

develop cracks all over, and very ragged edges. No worries; trust me, your dog

wont care about looks.


9/47

Cut with a 3 1/2 cutter (or the size of your choice). Gather and re-roll the scraps,

and continue to cut biscuits until youve used all the dough.

Lay the biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheets. Since the biscuits

dont include any leavening (baking powder, yeast, etc.), they wont spread

much.


10/47

Bake the biscuits for about 40 to 60 minutes, baking the smaller cookies for the

shorter amount of time, the larger biscuits for the longer amount of time.

When finished, the biscuits will be dark golden brown, and will be dry and crisp

all the way through.

And yes, its OK to break one open and taste it. If its good enough for Mans

Best Friend, its good enough for you!


11/47

I only baked the round cookies in the center for about 25 minutes; they should

have baked longer. They were somewhat soft inside. No worries; if you find your

biscuits are soft, just store them in the fridge, and use them up sooner.

My dog, Rags, thought both the biscuits and cookies were perfectly fine.


12/47

RAGS, German shorthair: I give this recipe 5 stars! After a long day at work in

the field, theres nothing like curling up in bed with a couple of homemade

biscuitzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Recipe also tested and approved by Lucy (beagle mix); Abby (Pomeranian mix);

and Cassie (Shih Tzu). Thanks, ladies!

Number three is from DoggyDessertChef.com

and is for those gluten sensitive doggers


13/47

Wheat Free Carob Crunchers

A little Carob love for our wheat sensitive doggys.

Ingredients:

1 cup Rice Flour

1/2 cup Carob Powder

1 teaspoon Cinnamon

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

3/4 cup Water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and knead until dough is formed and smooth,

you may need to add a little more water as the dough tends to be on the dry side.

Roll roll onto a heavly floured surface 1/4 inch thick and cut with small cookie

cutter of your choice. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 15

minutes or the cookies start to crackle.

Cool and refrigerate.

Made 35 to 40 hearts.

Tips:


14/47

Make sure you knead the dough very well, it may take some work to get the

dough to come together.

The smaller the cookie cutter the better as the dough is very crumbly. To make it

easy on yourself it might be better to just cut it into squares with a pizza cutter

(since your not trying to use your little heart cookie cutter because itll look soooocute in the pictures, you know, just as an example )

I didnt mind the white flour on the finished cookies but if you do dust your work

surface with carob powder instead.

Homemade Treats for National Dog Day

Its National Dog Day a day to celebrate the love and companionship of dogseverywhere. And whats better received by your canine friend than somethingedible? Homemade dog treats make a great project for kids helping themcreate a special treat for their pup is rewarding to them both, and the smell ofcinnamon baking is good for your own mental well-being too: according to a

recent study, the odour of cinnamon enhanced participants cognitive processing.

These teeny cinnamon bun biscuits are made with whole wheat flour and canolaoil, which contains heart healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats as well asomega 3 fatty acids. They look as good as they taste; having been rolled into alog and sliced they resemble the real thing even more so if you spread ordrizzle them with cream cheese, thinned with a little water. Drizzling is easy if youput the sugar-free cream cheese icing in a zip-lock bag and snip off one corner

seal. Using a sharp serrated knife or (even better) dental floss, slice half an inch

thick and place slices cut side down on a cookie sheet that has been sprayedwith nonstick spray.

Bake for about 15 minutes, until springy to the touch. Wait until they have cooled

completely before you spread them with cream cheese.

Edible Gift Recipe

Homemade Doggie Treats

While we're coming up with special treats for one another during the holidays,let's not forget our little four-legged friends. They aren't necessarily looking forthe sweets that we indulge in this time of year. But their taste buds will thank youfor this little bit of bacon-y goodness:

I had some bacon fat already on hand, and you might too. This is a great way touse it up, and it makes this quick and easy recipe just that much easier. This is asimple base, which stands alone or to which you can add your own flourishesbased on your friend's tastes. Some ideas for easy add-ins: parsley (a naturalbreath freshener for us and for our dogs), natural peanut butter for a boost ofprotein, pureed spinach for a healthy kick, or even leftover pumpkin puree. Avoidchocolate and raisins, which - while used heavily in our own holiday treats - aren'tgood for pup.

I simply cut these into approximately 1x4" bars, but you can also use bone- orheart-shaped cookie cutters to shape this rolled dough.


19/47

Homemade Doggie Treats Makes 24 bars 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup

wheat germ 1/2 cup melted bacon fat 1 egg 1/2 cup cold waterPreheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix by hand until dough forms.Add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Add more bacon fat or water if thedough is too stiff.

Roll out onto a floured surface, to a thickness of just under 1/2". Cut into 1x4"bars and transfer to a cookie sheet. Poke divots into the bars (I use the end of achopstick) and bake in a preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes (untillightly browned). Turn the oven off, flip the bars, and place back in the oven until

cool (this will further crisp them).

Treats can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature.

Sharing The Love #5

Homemade flax seed dog biscuits


21/47

Update: We lost our dear Dante in May, 2011. We love you, Dante. Thank youfor bringing us so much love and joy into our lives.

Update: here is a new recipe for Pumpkin Flax Seed Dog Biscuits.

(See below, attached to this listing)

No, Sierra is not cute! Lets see what you think of her when she comes over toyour house! Sierra is a monster hiding behind the fuzzy white, polka dotted Boxerfur that you see here. When we saw her 3 years ago, her gentle puppy

demeanor, her adorable little brown pirate patch over her eye, her lovable licksand her warm, sweet gaze deceived us into believing that she was going to bethe perfect puppy.

She tricked us into thinking that with proper, firm training, she would do no harm.Can you call us two big SUCKERS?!! Not only has she killed and pulled up manyplants from our garden, those that she has not killed, shes eaten. We finallygave up on the idea of growing rhubarb because she eats the stalks even beforethe snails get to them. Whats left of the plant is a tiny base stalk with a dog pawprint as evidence left behind. She loves strawberries too. Every other morning,its a race to our little strawberry patch to beat her to the ripened berries.

If were a little late, shell be found licking her mug free of the super duper sweetchandler strawberry juice. Its SO wrong to see two humans (us) salivating andstaring down at a dog (her) who just beat her guardians to their prizedstrawberries. Can you call us JEALOUS?!! But she is a great soccer player, lovesto play in dirt and her love of the sprinklers keep us entertained and forgiving ofher destructive ways!


22/47

Hes big, hes lazy and hes a princess. He is named Dante, inspired during ourtrip to Rome, after the famed poet Dante Alighieri. We really should have namedhim princepesa. Dante is supposed to be the big, strong, noble, athletic andfearless Rhodesian Ridgeback hunter that we also got suckered into loving. Is ittoo late to get a refund? Isnt there an 8 year dog ownership statue oflimitations?!

What we ended up getting was a dog who HATES water, doesnt like to get hispaws dirty, screams bloody murder when getting his nails trimmed or when aboutto get a shot at the vet and sleeps about 20 hours a day. And worse yet, he willnot chase balls. Nope, none of this fetch, Fido, fetch playtime with Dante. Helooks at a tossed ball like its an insult to his character, giving us that you reallydont expect me to chase that, do you? look. But wait, those are his GOODtraits.

If theres one significant description to singularly identify this dog amongst others,its is his love of FOOD. Yes, of course, mostly all dogs love food and love to befed. But our great red hope of a canine is so infatuated with food that if therewas a plate of leftovers on the counter sitting over night, he will sit and stare at it

ALL NIGHT. True! When we wake up in the morning, well find this hound sittingin the kitchen, half asleep, hoping the food will miraculously fall to the floor for

him to ingest. But he is part hound and does have great smelling and huntingskills. He can run trails with Mom & Dad like no other, and if one of us gets lost,were certain that hell be able to find us by smell. We suppose thats a goodthing!


23/47

But they are loved! Aside from our rant, they do get treated quite nicely (weremind them of their fulfilling life). They get plenty of couch cuddles, ear rubs,new toys , daily walks, frequent hikes, beach visits and road trips. In return, theygive us unconditional love and loyalty, despite our faults. To show them that theyare really, truly and deeply loved, we make them homemade flax seed dogbiscuits. Can you call them SPOILED?! Yes, they get homemade dog biscuitsmade from all natural ingredients. Our highly loved and tattered bible, TheProfessional Pastry Chef by Bo Frieberg, is the ultimate, extensive book that isfull of wickedly amazing dessert recipes. But Bo Friebergs very first recipe in this

monstrous book for human consumption is a recipe for dog biscuits, in which hededicated to his dogs. This recipe has been in the White On Rice Coupleshousehold for 8 years now and along with the addition of flax seeds, its aculinary tradition will continue to be fully executed for as long as we have fourlegged monsters in the house. Thank you, Chef Bo!!

Sharing the Love of dog biscuits ! Dante & Sierra want to share their biscuitswith their canine friends. Awww, isnt that so kind of them to extend their treatbag to their doggie friends? Well, we didnt tell Dante, but what he doesnt know

Pumpkin & Flax Seed Good-Dog Treats

This was a post which almost didnt get written. You see, Ive started to get a bitself conscious about over sharing. Not in that creepy I feel the need to leteveryone know what sort of bathroom rituals I have or funky positions we justtried kind of over sharing. Ill leave those to the uninhibited TMI peeps.

Im talking about not wanting to be one of those who are so overly obsessed thatthey have to tell, and show, and tweet, and facebook every single detail of theirnew cat/kid/grandkid/puppy. Now if you are talking about a puppy, feel free to


26/47

inundate us with your lore, I can nearly guarantee well be rapturous listeners.However I dont want to make that assumption towards everyone else. You knowwhat they say about assumptions.

So count this as a fair warning given, this is about to become a puppy-centric

post and I may be slightly fanatical about our two. Those who follow myInstagram will know, being that my IG MO is basically puppy pics and travelmoments (the former dominating lately.)

With that cleared out of the air, if you are still reading you are either: A: Cool withthe dog sharing. B: A glutton for punishment. or C: Skimming over the text to lookfor pretty pictures and a recipe. Any of those makes you fair game for my puppyswooning.

As most of you know, we have ourselves a new addition to the WORChousehold, our Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy Lexi. Although it is getting harder

and harder to call her a puppy.


27/47


28/47

In a mere couple months shes gone from this tiny little thing we could pick up inone hand to the size of calf which needs to be bear-hugged in order to pick herup (which I still do but Diane cant. Freaks Lexi out cause she thinks momma isgonna drop her.) Seriously. She is almost as tall and long as Sierra, although sheis only about half the width.

Lexi is at that goofball puppy teenager stage. Her body is becoming athletic andstrong with occasional moments of pure clumsiness. Like yesterday when shecame racing into the house, couldnt make the turn and slid 10 feet right into the

water bowls.

Distinctive Ridgeback and hound traits are emerging, warming reminding us ofDante, our previous Ridgeback. First time we took her into the vet, in a risingcurious voice, he asks So why a Ridgeback? thinking we may not be knowingwhat we were in for. But with a twinkle we reminded him that our first pup was a


29/47

ridgie. We know their potential for trouble and love it.

What are some of these traits? you may so curiously ask.

For one, Ridgebacks tend to be quite clean, even though they usually hate water.She is a very clean puppy, making potty training fairly quick and painless. She

has already learned how to ring the bell to let us know she wants to go outside ifthe door is closed. But if the lawn is wet, you can guarantee shell walk the longway around on the pathways.

Instagrammed Shot Puppies! Attention!


30/47

Instagrammed shot Asian Pear was this little Sugar Foots morning snack!

There is also a distinctive knack for independent stubbornness. Point your fingerat her and command No and shell just look at you with a glimmer, then nibbleon your finger. Our shoes and socks are regularly found strewn about the houseand garden. But 9 out of 10 times it is only the right shoe. Dont ask us why orhow she knows. It is just her preference.

And then there is the super obsessiveness over food. She loves food. I mean

really, really loves food. Every meal when when kibble bowls are being walkedoutside, she will race ahead doing one victory lap. Then after she reaches thefront of the food bearer, she will sproing (a ridgeback thing of jumping straight upin the air, all paws staying more or less level with one another), rotating herself inmid-air until she is front and center of the food. And since she knows the rule ofno eating till everyone is sitting, when she lands it will be directly into a sit, readyfor food service.


31/47

After meals there will be at least another 30 minutes of roaming the garden,looking for other goodies to snack on. Right now it is the persimmons.

So with such a independent minded, smart, food focused dog, it is time to build

up on the training treats. Much cheaper than the store bought ones, and the pupsseem to love them more, I will bake up big batches at a time. And with all the piepumpkins in the stores, pumpkin flax dog biscuits seemed like the perfect falltraining treat.

Nutty Bacon Dog Treats


33/47

After Abbie's appearance yesterday my husband complained that our dogsKarmal and Roxy are not getting any face time on the blog. Ok, I named it DogHill Kitchen but I'm really a cat person. The dogs are my husband's true loves.John whined enough so I figured I'd post a picture of our two dogs to get him offmy back. Then I remembered Peanut Butter Boy's dog treat recipe I had seen

just days ago. The poo shaped treats which he himself ate (!) cracked me up. Wedon't eat peanut butter, but I had a fresh jar of Sunbutter for a substitute. It wastheir new organic unsweetened kind and I wasn't liking it. I love the regularcreamy and crunchy Sunbutter but I needed a way to use the unsweetened up.

There was a problem though. Our dogs are spoiled rotten and Roxy in particularis very picky. I cook for them fairly regularly and I've even taken to alternatingtheir meals with raw. I try and give my two kitties a couple of raw meals a weektoo. I decided to enhance the recipe with a touch of bacon. I also had some soy

flour not being used so I swapped that in too. I figured it would add more proteinto the recipe.

Just as the oven finished preheating and everything measured out who shouldarrive but Alex's friends from next door. "Whatca making?" was the first thing outof the little girl from next door's mouth. She and Alex had fun making the softpretzels last week so I invited them to help. The older boy couldn't be lured awayfrom our Wii but the younger two were all for it. It was a great project for the kids.They took turns adding the premeasured ingredients and mixing each in. Thenwe all rolled out a piece of dough and cut out shapes. We sent her home with abag for their dog.

Roxy was suspicious when I offered her a treat but after seeing Karmal gobbleher's up she went ahead and ate it. Then they both were clamoring for more. Itasted one and these are most deinitely not for humans. Here's the recipe andpictures of the dogs enjoying their treats.

Visual ingredient list

3 slices of bacon, diced

-Cool and make them beg for it.

Roxy and Karmal snacking on their treats

My Favorite Dog Treat Recipe

Terrific, Tasty and Gluten Free

higher in fat. Chicken and turkey might be a better choice for an overweight dog.

- 1 large egg

- 1/4 tsp garlic powder ( not garlic salt )or one large clove pressed

- 5 tbsp. large flake rolled oats ( organic if possible ) or 4 tbsp. ground flax seed

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mixing up verywell.

Lightly grease a cookie sheet with olive oil( very slightly ). Dump ingredients oncookie sheet and spread evenly and flatly to the sides of pan. This should beabout 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.

Remove pan from oven and use your cookie cutter at this time, if you want. If youdon't have a cookie cutter, just score the 'cookie dough 'with a knife or pizzacutter, into squares.

Put back into the oven and bake for another hour at 250 degrees. This will dry

these healthy dog treats out. Keep an eye on your oven. The time could be moreor less, depending on how hot your oven runs.

These dog treats should be fairly dry and a little crispy, but not burned. Here'swhat they look like.

Helpful Hint

This dog treat recipe is inexpensive, easy...and very tasty.

Our dog's go crazy for lamb. Lamb however, smells very strong when cooking.

So be forewarned !

Your dogs will love you, but others might not. Lamb is also quite high in fat.

So, if your dog is overweight, maybe chicken or turkey would be a better proteinchoice for your dog.

I use all organic ingredients and a free range egg, when I make these yummyhealthy dog treats. You certainly don't have to, they would be great anyway...andyour dog will love you, no matter what.

Remember, you can always just give your dog some cut up pieces of rawvegetables or a few pieces of fruit.

Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, asparagus, apple. These are great healthy dogtreat choices, and they are real food.

Sparkpeople.com listed two from a gal posting asSPARKYCARLEY(carleycooper.com) for older doggers or dogs who are loosingor have lost some teeth.

My oldest dog has lost most of his teeth naturally. I had to look for some soft treat

recipes as well. Most of the recipes out there are for hard crunchy biscuit types.That's hard for the little ones who have no teeth left. Here's the couple that I'vebeen making that he likes:

DOT Treats

2 (2.5 oz) jars of meat baby food

1 egg

1/2 c. flour (you can use oat or rice or wheat, any flour here)

1/4 c. parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine all ingredients in bowl & mix with spoon unto thick batter.

Cover baking sheet with greased or non-stick foil. Spoon batter in to a plastic bag


45/47

& force the contents into one corner of the bag, twisting the top of the bag toseal.

Snip the corner of the bag .25 inchs & squeeze the bag to dispense bite-sizedabs of the batter onto the baking sheet (I make them pencil eraser sized).

Repeat until all the batter has been dispensed. Bake for 20 minutes.

Store in airtight container in fridge.

These are fairly soft if you don't bake them for 20 minutes (just a light brown) ...my guys like them better soft ... to each dog, their own!

Let cool and serve.

I bake these in the mini cup cake tins and they bake in about 15 minutes. Sincemy dog is a small dog I find even these mini cupcakes are rather large for him soI cut them into several pieces and keep them in a sealed container in the fridge.

To wrap up, a few notes from Cesar...

Some Things to Watch Out ForWhen preparing homemade dog treats, make sure you take into account anyallergies that your pet has to specific ingredients. You will want to avoid addingany ingredient that you know that your pet has reacted poorly to in the past. Ifyou are experimenting with new flavors, feed the treat to your dog in a smallamount to see how he reacts to it before distributing an entire treat. Store yourhomemade dog treats in an airtight container and place them in the freezer.

Allow the treat to thaw for 10 20 minutes prior to serving to your dog. Treatscan last for up to 6 months in the freezer.
