CHEESE
 

Blue Ribbon Dog Blintzes

Submitted by Dexter (1/26/07)

Ingredients

Filling:
2 cups ricotta or cottage cheese
2 eggs
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 pinch of salt

Crepes:
1 ½ cup all purpose flour
4 eggs
2 cups milk
4 tablespoons non-salted butter, melted, and also butter for frying blintzes
1 teaspoon salt

Filling is made by, placing cheese, eggs, flour, and salt into a mixing bowl and beating until all this is blended well together. Put this away.

Make crepes by placing, flour, eggs, milk, butter and salt into the blender and blending until batter is smooth. You can also use a food processing container for this. Pour the batter into a measuring cup. Heat a skillet or omelet pan over medium heat and put a little butter in the skillet. Pour in a small amount of batter and tilt the pan so that the batter covers the whole bottom of the pan. Cook this until you see that crepes begin to curl up in the edges. The bottom of the crepes should be golden brown and the top should be covered with little bubbles. Put the crepe, cooked side down, on a clean paper towel or towel. Keep making the crepes until all the batter is gone. You can layer the crepes in between sheets of wax paper until they are ready to be filled.

To fill the crepes, turn the cooked side up. Add a big tablespoon of filling onto the lower third of each pancake and roll these up. Place butter in a skillet over medium heat, and then add blintzes and brown them on all sides. Serve as soon as they are done browning. Makes 16 blintzes.

FISH
 
Fishy Fudge Treats
Submitted by Gio (9/19/06)
 
Here is a recipe that I just love!
Good things about it: They are soft so good for training treats or pups with bad teeth. And they keep well in the fridge.
Bad things about it: They STINK!! Don't invite company over they day you are baking these goodies!

2 sm cans of tuna in water (not drained) OR 1 lge can salmon (not drained)
2 eggs
1 t Garlic powder or crushed garlic
1 1/2 C flour
parm cheese (optional)

1. Blend fish, garlic, and eggs in a blender
2. Put flour in a bowl and mix in liquid from the blender
3. Mix until texture is putty-like. You may need to add a bit of water.
4. Spread in greased pan and sprinkle parm cheese on top
5. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes

Note: If after 15 minutes, they are still too sticky, cut into squares and bake for a few more minutes. Then turn them out of the pan onto a cookie sheet and bake for a few more minutes to dry them out some more. The parm cheese tends to be a bit flaky so if you want something less messy omit the parm. This recipe can be adapted, using the general idea as a base. Pooch not a fan of fish? Try poultry livers (not beef, they have a hard membrane that isn't appreciated by blender motors)! Add in some peanut butter or whatever your pooch likes best. Enjoy!
 
Wheatfree Salmon Treats (version I)
Submitted by Bullet (9/21/06)

8 ounce can salmon, with juice
1/2 cup chopped parsley
3 eggs, shells included
1/2 cup sesame seeds, ground up in coffee grinder
1/2 cup flax seeds, ground up in coffee grinder
2 to 3 cups potato flour
Put these ingredients into a food processor, mix VERY WELL. Pour potato flour through the opening while the motor is running. When the dough forms like a pie crust and rolls into a ball, it is ready to take out.

Dump onto a potato floured counter or board. Knead more flour into this until it is the consistency of a cookie dough. Roll out into a 14-inch long sheet. Use a pizza cutter to cut long strips and then cut crosswise to make small squares. If you want FANCY treats, you may use a cookie cutter, instead.

Bake on cookie sheets, sprayed a non-stick cooking spray, or lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 375 degrees F oven for 20 minutes. Turn and rotate the cookie sheets and bake for 10 more minutes.

You can make them as soft or as hard as you want.

1. Mix all these ingredients in your blender, then dump into ice cube trays, paper cups, or even a kong toy to freeze and serve.

For the ultimate treat, appropriate for desert at a doggy birthday party, follow steps one and two, then take the mostly frozen dog ice cream product of number two and spread it 1” to 1½” thick on wax paper.

Liver Training Treats

Submitted by Gibbon (2/3/07)

 

1 lb of liver( beef, chicken or liver, I've used all three)
2 cups br. rice flour.
Garlic powder to taste (Try 1 Tablespoon)

Add all ingredients to food processor and process until smooth. Mixture is quite stiff. Put into jelly roll pan preferably covered with parchment paper (it makes life alot easier) and smooth out. It should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 30 minutes at around 325 degrees F. At this point you can cut into very small pieces, ie:1/2 inch square and they make very good soft training treats or cut into larger pieces, and bake for another 30 minutes until they are hard. They make great treats and the dogs love them. You could probably cut them into bone shapes at the half way point if you wanted.


Lucy's Liver Slivers
Submitted by Gibbon (5/6/06)
 
1/2 pound cooked chicken livers
1 cup chicken stock*
1/2 cup corn oil
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 cup powdered milk
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup brewer's yeast
1 cup soy flour
1 cup cornmeal
3 cups whole wheat flour
Preheat oven to 350°.

In food processor or blender, process chicken livers, chicken stock, corn oil and parsley until smooth. Transfer to large bowl. Add powdered milk, rolled oats, brewer's yeast, soy flour and cornmeal. Mix well. Gradually add whole wheat flour. You'll have to use your hands here, kneading in as much of the flour as it takes to create a very stiff dough.
Roll dough out to 1/4" thick and cut into stick shapes, about 1/2" by 4" (depending on the size of your dog). A pizza cutter works great!
Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned and crisp. Turn off heat and let biscuits dry out in oven for several hours. Store in the refrigerator.

Stir in barley flour and let cool until lukewarm -- or cool enough to work with. Gradually blend in rye flour, adding enough to form a stiff dough.

Transfer to a floured (rye flour) surface and knead until smooth (about 3-5 minutes). Shape the dough into a ball, and roll to 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick. Use the cookie cutter of your choice (we prefer to make small bones) or cut into small squares. Transfer to ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 1/4 inch (6 mm) apart. Gather up the scraps, roll out again, and cut additional biscuits.

Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and turn over. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. After you finish baking all batches of biscuits, turn off the oven, spread all the biscuits in one baking pan and set them in the oven to cool for a few hours or overnight. The extra time in the oven as it cools off helps make the treats crunchier.

Makes several dozen small treats that keep and freeze well.

Cheese and Chicken Delight
Submitted by Gibbon (12/27/06)
 
Ingredients

2 cups of whole-wheat flour
1 cup of unbleached all purpose flour
½ cup of wheat flakes
1 tablespoon of brewer's yeast
2 tablespoons of hard grated cheese
½ lb of chicken livers, finely chopped
1 egg
2 tablespoons of canola oil
½ cup of chicken broth
Grated hard cheese for garnish

Preparation

Place the oven rack in the center of the oven and pre heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place 1 slightly greased baking pan on the side.
Use a large size bowl and a wire whisk to mix the whole-wheat flour, all purpose flour, wheat flakes, yeast, cheese and chicken livers together.
In a separate smaller bowl beat the egg, oil and chicken broth together with a wire whisk until it acquires a smooth consistency.
Next, blend both the dry and wet preparation together with a spoon or use your hand until it becomes a soft dough and starts to pull away from the bowl it is in. If it is too dry add a teensy bit more broth to it at a time.

Lightly flour a flat surface and turn the dough onto it. Use a rolling pin to roll it out to ½ inch of thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the cookies shapes (whatever shape your dog likes) and make sure to reuse the scraps as you go. You will notice that the dough will become stiffer as you work it.
Put the cookies on the set aside prepared baking pan and place them in the oven. Bake for around 20 to 25 minutes or until the cookies have acquired a light golden brown color and look dry. Then remove them from the oven and place the tray over a rack and allow the cookies to cool completely. Turn the oven off.
Once the cookies have cooled, put them back inside the warm oven in one baking tray and allow them to sit in there undisturbed without opening the oven door for 10 to 15 hours straight.

Peanut Butter and Honey Oat Crunchies Recipe
Submitted by Gibbon (7/26/06)

1/4 cup honey
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
2 cups chicken broth or water
1/3 cup peanut oil
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup oat bran
3-4 cups oat flour

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C).

In a small dutch oven or large saucepan, combine honey, peanut butter (try to find a brand that has no added suger, salt or other ingredients; ideally it should only contain peanuts), chicken broth, and peanut oil. Heat, stirring often, until mixture begins to simmer. Remove from heat. Stir in rolled oats and oat bran and let cool until lukewarm -- or cool enough to work with. Gradually blend in oat flour, adding enough to form a stiff dough.

Transfer to a floured (oat flour or rye flour) surface and knead until smooth (about 3-5 minutes). Shape the dough into a ball, and roll to 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick. Use a mini-cookie cutter or cut into small squares. Transfer to ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 1/4 inch (6 mm) apart. Gather up the scraps, roll out again, and cut additional biscuits. If the dough becomes too crumbly to work with after a few rollings, sprinkle with a little water to bind it together and knead it for 30 seconds or so.

Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and turn over. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. After you finish baking all batches of biscuits, turn off the oven, spread all the biscuits in one baking pan and set them in the oven to cool for a few hours or overnight. The extra time in the oven as it cools off helps make the treats crispier. These make a more delicate crunchy biscuit, so we use them more for special or training treats, not tartar control.

Makes several dozen small treats that keep and freeze well.

Peanut Butter Honey Nut Treats
Submitted by Miss Ginger (11/20/06)
 
1/2 half cup natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
2 cups hunny nut cheerios
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Warm the peanut-butter for about one minute in the microwave until soft enough for mixing.  Add the rest of the ingredients to the softened peanut butter mixing gently but thoroughly.  If the mixture is too moist, add lightly more flour to make it more dense.  Form rounded teaspoons of the dough in to balls, squeezing each ball with your hands to press it together.  This keeps the balls from crumbling while baking.

Place on un-greased cookie sheets.  If you use a greased cookie sheet, the cookies come out way too runny and oily.  Bake for 10 minutes or until firm, golden-browned, and crisp.  Remove from oven, let cool completely, and store in an airtight container for no more than three days.

If you make them tiny enough, they make a great training treat for when you need an extra incentive-reward.  Or, you can just make them normal size and then crumble them.  Dogs love 'em just the same!!
