Doggie Doggie Where's Your Bone

This doggie treat is a favorite of my chocolate lab, Millie.  She absolutely LOVES these treats!  This recipe was given to me by Linda.  Millie thanks you Linda for these delicious treats!

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 Tablespoon of baking powder
1 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of milk

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2.  Spray cooking sheet with cooking spray.
3.  Mix the dry ingredients (flour & baking powder) in a separate bowl.  In the other bowl combine peanut butter and milk.
4.  Slowly add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter/milk mixture.  I had to use my hands to mix the ingredients together. 
5.  Knead until smooth.  Roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut shapes.  I prefer a dog bone that I bought at Michaels probably two years ago. 
6.  Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly brown.  Remove and let treats cool.

I froze half of the treats in the freezer to use for a later date.

Our Chapter Begins

My daughter and I are beginning on our next chapter today...creating a blog.  A little background about me:  my official retirement date begins tomorrow.  Yippee!  After 25 years, I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life.  I have been married 43 years to a man that puts up with my Type A personality.  By the way, he is the best Dad in the world to our 4 children.  Below is a brief synopsis of what makes me tick:
 
1.God
2.Family
3.Decorating
4.Couponing
5.Sewing
6.Knitting
7.Crocheting
8.Gardening
9.The Celtic Woman
10.Beth Moore
 
Now I am going to turn this over to my daughter. 

This will be short and sweet.  I have been teaching elementary school for fourteen years.  I have two beautiful daughters and my favorite place to vacation is Folly Beach, South Carolina.  As you can tell, I am the quiet one in the family.
 
 
Join us as we create and begin this new journey. This blog will be a modge podge of ideas. 

Guess you can figure out which one is the Mom/Gammy of the 3 girls and granddaughter.
