I have done my fair share of helping my daughters with projects over the years. I have been room mom, brownie leader and booster club president. You would think those days would be in the past, now that college is in the picture, but when they are involved and busy, you still pitch in when you can.
Melissa is in charge of the Pompon Alumni/Parent Tailgate at MSU this Saturday and thought it would be cute to give homemade dog biscuits to the dogs, brought along. Since she lives in a college house and has no rolling pin or other baking supplies, I offered to make them - and it was fun!
The biscuits are made just like cookies and the dough was very easy to work with. My puppy tried a few and loved them. I have never made homemade dog biscuits before, but they are so healthy with such simple ingredients, I would definitely make them again.
The final step was to put them in individual bags, tied with Spartan green - ready to pass out to all the dogs who attend the tailgate.
Recipe for Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
Beat 2 eggs with hand mixer until fluffy. Add 3/4 cup pumpkin purée and 3 T peanut butter until mixed well. Add 2 1/2 cups flour. Separate dough in half and roll 1/2 on well floured surface. Cut with a cookie cutter (I used a dog bone shape) and place shapes on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Repeat with other 1/2 of dough.
Happy Wednesday and Happy Birthday to my hubby - you are the best!

I have a grand-doggy that visits. I'll bet she would love some of these on her next visit. I will have to make sure I label them correctly or I can just see my husband sitting down with a big glass of milk and some "cookies". I would be sorely tempted not to tell him until after he had finished. Oh boy I am not very nice am I lol.
