Working retail and office jobs gave me great people skills but not nearly enough time to play with all the doggos. Being a daycare trainer is a new adventure for me but I am no stranger to loving and caring for dogs of all sizes and I am happy to be joining Janine's community of dog lovers! I grew up in the Burlington area and settled in Northfield in 2021 with my family and since have rescued our two pups, Stella and Sammy. I love spending time at home with a good book and a few cups of coffee or out thrifting with my kids. I enjoy being the home-cook for my family of 6 and LOVE to bake in the cooler months, especially cookies around the holidays. I am a born care-giver, I always look for ways to share kindness and encouragement to anyone I come across (two or four-legged, I dont discriminate). I hope to greet you with a smile in the future and help meet the needs you and your dogs have, thank you for trusting us with their care!
Liz's Dog Biscuits
Ingredients:
· 2 cups (227g) Whole Wheat Flour
· 1 cup (89g) rolled oats, old-fashioned or quick-cooking
· 1 tablespoon dried parsley or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
· 1/2 cup (56g) Dry Milk or nonfat dry milk
· 1/2 teaspoon salt
· 2 large eggs
· 1 cup (270g) peanut butter, crunchy or plain
· 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon (128g) cold water, enough to make a cohesive dough
Instructions:
1 Preheat the oven to 300°F. Lightly grease a couple of baking sheets, or line them with parchment.
2 Mix together the flour, oats, parsley, dried milk, and salt.
3 Add the eggs and peanut butter, stirring to combine; the mixture will be crumbly.
4 Add enough water to bring the dough together; depending on the season, you may need to add a bit more (winter), or a bit less (summer).
5 To make biscuits using a dog-bone cutter, roll the dough about 1/4" thick, and cut with a 3 1/2" cutter (or the size of your choice). Gather and re-roll the scraps, and continue to cut biscuits until you've used all the dough.
6 To make dog "cookies," drop the dough in walnut-sized balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten them to about 1/4".
7 Bake the biscuits for about 40 to 60 minutes, baking the smaller cookies for a shorter amount of time. When finished, the biscuits will be dark golden brown, and will be dry and crisp all the way through.
8 Remove the biscuits from the oven, and cool right on the pans.
