Rudy's Birthday Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pupcakes Recipe | Tasty Tuesday

Rudy celebrated his 4th birthday over the weekend and it just wouldn't be a party without some kind of birthday cake, right?

Rudy, Jeffie and Rosie love peanut butter, so the Dog Daddy and I decided this easy recipe would be perfect.  It's easy, healthy, and Rudy said it was mighty tasty!

Cheese Dog Biscuit Recipe from For Love of a Dog Jewelry

Lucy and Jeffie begging for cheese.

My dogs are cheese hounds.  Big time cheese hounds.  They can hear us getting the cheese from the frig even when they're outside in the yard.  It's probably a fabulous psychic talent or something.  For sure they are wild about these Cheese Dog Biscuits, so here's the recipe:

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 pound corn oil margerine
1 clove garlic - crushed
Pinch of salt
Milk
Grate the cheese and let is stand until room temperature.  Then cream the cheese with the softened margerine, garlic, salt and flour.  Add just enough milk to form a ball.  Chill for at least 30 minutes.  Roll out onto a floured surface and cut into shapes.  Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.  Makes 2-3 dozen depending on the size of your cookie cutter.

Here at For Love of a Dog Jewelry these dog treats do not last long!

Tucker's Favorite Dog Cookies

Woooof... it smells good in here! Mama and the goldies (Lucy and Jeffie) are in the kitchen making dog cookies! Mama makes different ones, but these are my favorite. While they're baking I thought I'd share the recipe with you.

Tucker's Favorite Dog Cookies
1 package active dry yeast dissolved in 1/2 cup lukewarm (110-115 degree) water
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons molasses
1 3/4 to 2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cracked wheat
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
Combine the following to brush tops before baking: 1 beaten egg PLUS 1 tablespoon milk
In a bowl, combine 1 cup of the all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, cracked wheat, cornmeal, dry milk powder and salt. Mix well. Then add yeast/water mix, molasses and broth. On a floured surface knead in enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Roll out dough to cut into biscuits with a doggie cookie cutter. Place on un-greased baking sheets. Brush tops. Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Turn oven off and leave in oven overnight. Makes 36-40 dog cookies.

Woof! Woof!
