Jack's Pumpkin Doggie Treats

There is little that Mom, Jason, and I agree on, but there is one thing that we all believe wholeheartedly - King Jack the wonder mutt is the coolest member of our family.  Jackson is a German Shepherd-Chow Chow mix that Jason adopted from a shelter nine years ago.  He's an 80-pound moose that not only shares our house, but dominates it.  He naps on Mom's bed, spends the night on the couch, and has the three of us wrapped around his big, furry paw.  Given how spoiled he is, it's not surprising that he's the best fed member of the family.  He's only allowed to eat organic food and Mom cooks his treats for him to ensure they're the healthiest possible thing we can give him.  Since Mom and I are still consuming the mountains of leftovers from Christmas, I thought I'd share this recipe for our four-legged friends.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup pumpkin
2 eggs
2 tablespoons dry milk
2-1/2 cups brown rice flour
water as needed to prepare dough


Blend the eggs and pumpkin.  Add milk and flour to create a dry, stiff dough.  If necessary, add water.

Place dough on a lightly-floured surface and roll to 1/2" thickness.  Using a cookie cutter, cut into individual treats and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, turning the treats once during cooking.
