Natalie's Killer Cuisine

I would like to think I have a variety of cuisine on this blog. My favorite thing to share with you are killer cookies, cakes and desserts. And that seems to be yall’s favorite too. But I also have healthy meals on here. It’s all about balance, yes?

Remember that Tex Mex Quinoa stuffed Bell Pepper I made? Healthy, Vegetarian, and Balanced.

And then I also share the food Kyle eats. Because he doesn’t eat healthy, and he sure doesn’t eat balanced. But that is okay every once in a while. When people ask me what he eats I tell them he eats the B’s. As in bacon and beef.

Remember those Barbacoa Tacos I made for him? They were totally greasy and beefy. Totally Kyle cuisine.

But I realized I was forgetting someone important. After all, I live in a 3 person household. Okay maybe not three person, but two people and one dog. One amazing, spoiled rotten, beautiful, crazy ass dog. If you have been reading my blog for awhile then you should be no stranger to my miniature Australian Shepard named Holly. I told you a little bit about her here.

I have always wanted to make Holly homemade dog treats but the recipes I have looked at are always weird. I never have dried milk powder on hand. And pureed liver is something I am not willing to bring into my kitchen. So I decided to experiment and make my own dog biscuits using ingredients I always have on hand. I even bought a dog-bone shaped cookie cutter for the occasion!

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
yield: 36 medium sized biscuits

1 cup Low-fat Peanut Butter
1 cup Nonfat Milk
1 tsp Fish Oil, optional
2 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour

1 TBS Baking Powder

preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. In a large bowl add the peanut butter. Slowly add the milk while whisking simultaneously. Whisk until combined and smooth. Add fish oil if using.

2. In a separate bowl combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder. Pour the peanut butter mixture on top and use a large spoon to combine.

3. Divide dough into 2 portions. Flour a work surface and rolling pin, and roll to a 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut into shapes (or cut into small squares).
4. Cover two baking sheets with parchment and place the cookies on top. Cookies can be close as they should not spread.

5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until hard and crisp. Let cool before giving to your pet.

Holly loved the biscuits. She kept rolling over, giving me paw and playing dead in an attempt for me to give her more and more.

I did try a small bite of the dough, and it tasted very peanut buttery, which any dog is sure to love. The fish oil is optional, I just chose to add it since I already give her a little bit everyday. It promotes healthy skin and fur, which you can see she has a lot of!

If you are a baker then you are sure to have most of the ingredients on hand. You should spoil your dog today! They won’t be ‘beggin for bacon‘ after having one of these healthy peanut butter dog biscuits!
