About Chico and on to the recipes


Chico passed away almost 3 years ago. He was 14 years old and still so beautiful and so attentionate. I believe, he was almost human.To this day, I missed him so much,
When I heard about the pet food poisoning, I could not help thinking about my beloved friend and how picky he was with his food. I had to feed him with home made food , just for him or just plain eat what we were eating.
At the time , I started to home bake his own treats and now I still have the recipes that I had adapted to Chico's taste. What I would like to do here is give you a couple of Chico's menu more I hope these recipes might help you in keeping them safe and healthy
With you today, I will share one his favorite and every other day I will add . So If you like , you can come back and get these recipes and look at the links
Take care of yourself and your pets.

Here is the recipe and it is easy;
Chico's favorite cookies
21/2 cups of whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of powder milk
1 tsp of sugar
4 tbsp of margarine
1 beaten egg
1/2 tsp of salt
1 small jar of baby food (beef or chicken)

Mix the ingredients with water,knead for a couple of minutes to form a ball. Roll dough to 1/2" thick and cut with your cookie cutter. Grease a cookie sheet and bake for around 25 to 30 minutes a 350 degree.
Place the cookies on a rack to cool off then treat your dog and place the remaining cookies in a air tight container
If I remember correctly , this batch would give around 20 medium size cookies, but it wiil differ according to your cookie cutter
