Okay everyone, here is another quick and easy recipe for all of you doggie lover's out there! Or, if you are like me, you have friends and/or family who have dogs and would like to give them some special treats at Yule time.

With my God-doggie Sadie, the Basset Hound, and "Miss Acee" on the right waiting for me to play with her

Isn't she awesome? I just adore her!!

I have always loved Basset Hounds and someday I plan to welcome a rescued female into my home. Until then, I shall live vicariously through my friend and cat-sitter's favorite dog! Anyway, here is the recipe I am going to try this year for the first time ...

Homemade Dog Biscuits

What you need:

3 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup powered milk

1 egg

1 cube chicken, liver, or beef bouillon

3/4 cup water

1/3 cup margarine

1/4 teaspoon salt

Place water, bouillon cube, and margarine in a large bowl; microwave on high for one minute. Stir in all other ingredients and add the flour last. Dough will be stiff. Roll out to 1/2-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes (biscuits should be hard). Turn off heat and leave in the oven for one hour.
