Gourmet Doggie Treats & Singing Chef

It's the singing chef!:) Gourmet Dad's favorite broadway song is "I Dreamed a Dream", so I did a quick recording of it as a surprise for him so he can hear me sing it whenever he wants. You can go here to hear it yourself--I didn't record it in the kitchen, but we sing in there all the time, it has great acoustics!

We've never featured canine food before, but Baby H has serious issues with one of our best friends' dog and we're working on making friends. Here's a super easy and yummy dog treat recipe the kids can all help with, we had a great time!

Gourmet Doggie Treats
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 c. ground flax seed (if you don't have it, just do and extra 1/4 c. whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup cornmeal
2/3 cup flavored liquid (broth, bouillon, etc)
6 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. Add more broth or oil 1 T. at a time if dough is too dry. Roll out to about 1/4" thick and cut into shapes.
Place on greased cookie sheet and Bake at 350 F for 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely before serving to your favorite doggie!

What? You sing too? (And beautifully, I might add!) Is there anything you don't do? You are amazing!

Seriously, that was YOU? Wow, you have a great voice! If I did something like that for my husband, it would be far more punishment than gift. :)

The doggie treats look awesome - thanks for the recipe!

Wow, gourmet dog food. They are as pretty as actual human food that I did mistake them for cookies. :D
I would like to serve my dog some of that but that bugger doesn't appreciate gourmet. He's such a messy eater.
