pumpkin parsley dog treats

Meet Myles.


He's my five year old jackabee (jack russell terrier and beagle mix.) 
We've had him for a little over two years and I'm super in love with him. 

Once we got him home, we realized he had a sensitive tummy
 and couldn't eat food or treats with corn in it, so I started 
making him homemade treats. I made him 
these peanut butter treats a few months ago and he's been 
very happy with them

We ran out today so I thought I'd try a new recipe. 
I made these pumpkin treats with parsley. Pumpkin helps sooth upset 
puppy tummies and parsley helps freshen breath.




Myles likes to help in the kitchen by licking the pumpkin spatula.


 2 eggs
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons dry milk
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 - 2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.

Beat eggs and pumpkin together until smooth. Add dry milk, salt, and dried parsley. Add brown flour, string with a spatula or your hands until well mixed. Roll 1/4-1/2 in thick on a lightly floured surface and cut with a small cookie cutter. 

Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and turn treats over then bake 15-20 more minutes. 

Allow to cool then store in an airtight container.



I ended up doubling the recipe because I'm a busy lady and can't make 
homemade dog treats too often and didn't want to waste the pumpkin. 

I want to try some of these next time and here's a link to my 
Pinterest board for the cute little guy.

first post! and a hot cocoa recipe

Welcome to my blog and thanks for tuning in for the first post.

I was eager to share a post so I thought I'd share my mother-in-law's hot chocolate recipe.

This is basically the only one my husband will drink (you'll soon learn that he's a picky little guy. But so cute.)

It's a very simple recipe
