 Bone
Appetit! Recipes from Our Readers
The great American season of overeating is upon us. To keep your dog
from being tempted from the various and sundry people treats in your
house, why not whip up a customized canine feast for him? Thanks to
Your AKC readers for the following recipes:
| The
Appetizer: Liver Treats |
| 1 lb
raw liver
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup oatmeal
1 tsp garlic and herb seasoning (like Mrs. Dash)
3/4 cup cornmeal
|
| Mix first
four ingredients in blender. If your blender will take it, add
3/4 cup cornmeal. Otherwise transfer to a bowl and stir in cornmeal
by hand. Spread mixture onto large baking sheet and bake at 350°
for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cut immediately into 1"
squares or smaller. This will make a chewy treat which should
be refrigerated. For crunchy treats that can be stored at room
temperature, lower the oven temperature and return the baking
sheet with the cut squares to the oven until they are completely
dry and crisp. |
| The
Main Dish: Meatloaf |
| 1 Tbls
unsalted soft butter (not margarine) or 1 Tbls olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced or diced
1 cup bread crumbs
1 diced/chopped carrot
1/2 tsp diced parsley
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 egg - beaten
1 tsp raw unheated honey (from health food store)
1/2 lb lean ground beef, chicken or turkey
|
| Throw all
ingredients in a large bowl and mix together. Form into ball shape
and place in glass bread pan. Spread meatball into loaf. Bake
at 350° about 15 minutes. Cool and serve - this also freezes
well. |
| Dessert:
Banana Oatmeal Cookies |
| 6 cups
old fashioned oatmeal (do not use quick oats)
3 cups smashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup applesauce
|
| Mix together
and form into heaping teaspoon, soupspoon, or tablespoon size
depending on the size of your dog, and place them on either a
baking stone or a greased cookie sheet. Bake in a 350° oven
until hard and golden brown. Put them on a cooling rack, and when
cool, keep them in the refrigerator since these will get moldy
if not refrigerated. They can be stored in the freezer, and thawed
for use without getting mushy. |
Enjoy! |
