Recipe: A series of step-by-step instructions for preparing ingredients you forgot to buy, in utensils you don't own, to make a dish the dog won't eat. Fox Run Dog Biscuits 2 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder 1 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt 6 Tbsp. margarine or oil 1 egg 2/3 cup cold water Combine dry ingredients and mix well. Add the remaining ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon to form a stiff dough. Alternately, combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until dough forms. Roll out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch; cut into dog bone shapes with dog bone cutters or into sticks about three inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 25 minutes in a 350 oven. Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container. Yield: approximately 20 biscuits A Simple Dog Biscuit For a happy but healthy dog or puppy.

Let simmer for 15 minutes and strain off meat. Save 1 3/4 cups of boiled stock. Now add water and boil macaroni until it begins to feel soft. Add frozen vegetables and let sit in water for a couple of minutes. Strain noodles/vegetables and turn heat to medium. Dissolve corn starch in 1/4 cup of cold water. Add meat, noodles, vegetable, olive oil, garlic and stock to pot. Stir until mixture begins to bubble. Turn heat to medium low and stir in water/corn starch mixture. Stir on element for a few minutes until it thickens (add more corn starch mixture if contents are still thin). Remove from element and let it cool to room temperature. Take 1 cup dry measuring cup and scoop out increments onto pieces of plastic wrap. Wrap up and freeze. We will usually thaw one out the night before and split it up into two servings (we add some kibble). Makes approximately 6 servings. Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits (I've gotta figure a way to mix in some Jelly with these) 1 � cups water � cup oil 2 eggs 3 tablespoons peanut butter 2 tsp. vanilla 2 cups flour � cup cornmeal � cup oats Blend wet ingredients together. Whisk dry ingredients together and mix into wet mixture to form a ball of dough. Roll out and shape. Put onto a non-stick cookie tray or lightly greased one. Cook 20 minutes at 400 F. Turn off oven and allow the biscuits to cool in oven until crisp and hard. Store in airtight container. 15 Minute Liver Treats 1 lb chicken livers 1 cup flour 1 cup corn meal 1 Tablespoon garlic powder 1 Egg Place chicken livers and liquid in blender, liquify.

Cut into small squares while still warm. Keep in freezer to prevent spoilage. My dogs love them frozen.

In large bowl combine broth, powdered milk, margarine, honey, egg and salt. Add yeast/water and mix well. Stir in flour, cornmeal, wheat germ and cracked wheat. Mix well. Add whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Knead in the final amounts of flour by hand and continue kneading for 4 or 5 minutes until dough is not sticky. Pat or roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness and cut into bone shapes. Place on a greased cookie sheet, cover lightly and let set for 20 minutes. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Turn off heat and leave in oven several hours or over night. Makes approximately 3 1/2 pounds.

Grate apple into mixture and add water. Mix until it starts forming together. Turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead well. Roll out to a thickness of 1/4 - inch to 1/2 - inch. Take a straight edge and score the dough horizontally then vertically to make a grid of 3/4 squares. Be careful not to score the dough that it completely cuts through the dough. Place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with a nonstick spray. Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour. Liver Bow-wownies 2 lbs chicken livers 2 C corn meal 2 C wheat germ 2 eggs 2 1/2 tsp. granulated garlic (not salt) 1/2 C dried parsley Liquefy livers in food processor, pour into mixing bowl and add other ingredients. Mix until smooth like a brownie batter. Spread on a cookie sheet (1/2 sheet cake size) (I use parchment paper to line the pan) until it's evenly spread about 1/3 inch thick. Bake at 350 F for about 35 minutes. When cool cut into squares, or whatever shapes you prefer. I keep them in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator. Chicken Chips (for Fido) 2 cooked (boiled) chicken breasts 1 clove garlic 1/2 cup chicken broth 1 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup cornmeal Puree chicken and garlic in a food processor or blender. Add in chicken broth. Transfer mixture to bowl and stir in remaining ingredients until it's not sticky anymore. Cut dough in half and shape each into a 1 1/2-inch diameter roll. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill thoroughly. Slice into thin chips. Bake chips on lightly greased baking sheet at 350 degrees F for 25-40 minutes, turning halfway through baking time. Chips will harden as they cool.

In a large bowl or in a food processor, combine the flour, oatmeal, cornmeal, liver powder, brewer's yeast, bone meal and powdered milk. Stir in the eggs, oil and water and mix thoroughly. The dough will be very stiff and dry. Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface or pastry cloth. Roll or pat it into a rectangle 1/4 to 1/2" thick. Cut into bone-shaped biscuits with a small knife, or use a cookie cutter. Reroll the leftover scraps of dough and reshape, until all the dough is used. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes until brown and dried through. Cool on a rack. Yield: about 12 large bones or 24 small bones.
