Beef, Cheese & Parsley Dog Treats

I'm having a "blah" kind of week/weekend. With my pup being sick, work and this weather, I'm just out of it. I'm behind on blogging and I'm behind on reading all the blogs that I love. Maybe I'll catch up this week. Could you believe, we had snow here in Chicago yesterday? Combined with rain, yesterday made for a gloomy day. Today, I was really hoping to work in the yard  on digging up the area for my garden but it was a bit too chilly with the wind. Needless to say, that REALLY bummed me out. With that being said, I don't have too much to say. So I leave you with the recipe below.

Here is a dog treat recipe that my Jameson absolutely loves. And it freshens breath, too! Enjoy!

Beef, Cheese & Parsley Dog Treats


Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup margarine
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 3/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, margarine, and boiling water. Let stand 10 minutes. Grease cookie sheets.
  2. Thoroughly stir in cornmeal, sugar, bouillon, milk, Cheddar cheese, parsley and egg. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until a stiff dough has formed.
  3. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, mixing in additional flour as necessary until dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Roll or pat out dough to 1/2" thickness. Cut with cookie cutter and place 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
  4. Bake 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Cool before serving. Store in a loosely covered container.
