STEAK BONES, steak dog bones, steak dog treats, homemade dog treats




STEAK BONES FOR YOUR FURRY FRIENDS:
CHRISTMAS DOG BONES...










OK, SO HERE IS THE DEAL WITH ALL THESE AWESOME LOOKING STEAKS.  IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE, NOT A DOG WAS PATIENT; NOT EVEN THE CHEF.  OUR FURRY FRIENDS DEMANDED SOME NEW DOG BONES FOR CHRISTMAS 2017 AND WE HAD TO DELIVER.








HERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS USED IN THIS LATEST BATCH OF HOMEMADE DOG BONES; ORGANIC CHICKEN BROTH, CARROTS, EGGS, APPLE SAUCE, BACON BITS, CHEESE, BANANAS, STEAKS, AND FLOUR.  (PLEASE NOTE, THE SCOTCH AND JD WAS STRICKLY FOR THE CHEF.)




LET'S START WITH THE STEAKS.  I CHOSE TO SKILLET THEM ON THE OVEN FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES ON LOW (WITH SOME VIRGIN OIL) UNTIL THEY WERE COMPLETELY COOKED.  I USED SOME ANGUS BEEF, WITH NEW YORK STRIP AND SOME FILET MIGNONS TO GIVE THE PETS A TASTY CHRISTMAS.  










THE PETS MADE SURE THAT I DIDN'T EAT ANY OF THE PRODUCT BEFORE IT WENT INTO THE MIXING BOWL.








THE END RESULT.  YEP, THAT MACALLAN SCOTCH HIT THE SPOT!!







TAKE THE STEAKS AND THROW THEM INTO YOUR BLENDER.  ADD ONE CUP OF ORGANIC CHICKEN BROTH.






ADD 1.5 CUPS OF UNSWEENTED APPLE SAUCE AND THROW IT INTO THE BLENDER ALONG WITH THE COOKED STEAK AND ORGANIC CHICKEN BROTH.








IT SHOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE YOU START TO BLEND EVERYTHING TOGETHER.  ONCE AGAIN, THE SCOTCH WAS STRICKLY FOR THE CHEF!!! DO NOT GIVE YOUR PETS ANY ALCOHOL!!!!!!







START BLENDING...







LOOKS DELICIOUS!!!!!! WE HAD ONE OF THE PETS WATCHING ME TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T SCREW ANYTHING UP.  LOOK AT THOSE DILIGENT EYES!!



WORK FASTER!!! HURRY UP HUMAN!!!!










NOW IT'S TIME TO ADD SOME CARROTS AND 1.5 BANANAS PLUS 1/2 CUP OF APPLE SAUCE INTO THE BLENDER.











YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO ADD ANOTHER CUP OF CHICKEN BROTH TO THE BLENDER BEFORE YOU START THE BLENDING PROCESS.





THROW IN TWO EGGS!!














BLEND ALL THE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER.





YEP, I KNOW.  THE MACALLAN'S SCOTCH BOTTLE IS STARTING TO GET LOW.  THE CHEF, (ROBERT MARGETTS) AT: http://rmargetts.blogspot.com WAS HAVING A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS MAKING THESE STEAK BONES!!MANY THANKS TO MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, STEPHY FOR THE CHRISTMAS SCOTCH....







OK, SO NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS BLENDED TOGETHER AND IN THE MIXING BOWL, IT'S TIME TO ADD THE FLOUR.  I USED AROUND 13 CUPS OF FLOUR.




                                                                               WRONG BOWL MY FURRY FRIEND!!!









ADD AROUND 2 CUPS OF SHREDDED CHEESE.







ADD TWO BAGS OF BACON BITS. (I WENT WITH BACON BITS THIS TIME INSTEAD OF FRYING UP A POUND OF BACON AS I DIDN'T WANT ALL THAT GREASE IN THIS BATCH.  IT MIGHT DETRACT FROM THE MEAT FLAVOR.)







TOSS THE BACON BITS INTO THE MIXING BOWL AND STIR..











ONCE THE DOUGH IS READY TO ROLL, TAKE IT OUT OF THE BOWL AND THROW IT ONTO THE COUNTER.  I USED PARCHMENT PAPER AND SOME FLOUR SO THE DOUGH WOULD NOT STICK TO THE ROLLING PIN OR TO THE COUNTER TOP.







DID I MENTION THAT I COULDN'T FIND A ROLLING PIN IN THE HOUSE.  NOT TO WORRY.  I USED A BOTTLE OF WINE TO ROLL OUT THE DOUGH.








WE ARE READY TO CUT THE DOUGH.  







I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH PRAISE ABOUT THE AWESME PIZZA CUTTER.  IT REALLY MAKES THIS WHOLE PROCESS SO MUCH QUICKER..











PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 350 DEGREES AND BAKE FOR AROUND 50 MINUTES UNTIL DONE.  REMEMBER TO LET COOL FOR 10-20 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING YOUR GUESTS!!!








I KNOW THAT I BRAG ABOUT THE FLAVOR OF ALL MY DOG RECIPES, BUT I REALLY THINK THESE WERE THE BEST TASTING DOG BONES BY FAR.  I PROBABLY ATE TWO WHOLE BONES BY MYSELF..






DRACULA WAITING TO BE SERVED HIS STEAK DOG BONES.  HE HAS THE PATIENCE OF A SAINT.  THE OTHER TWO FURRY FRIENDS WERE CONSTANTLY PUSHING ME TO COMPLETE THE TREATS.  I FELT AT SOME TIMES AS THOUGH THEY WERE TELEPATHICALLY SENDING ME MESSAGES:  "HURRY UP WITH THE TREATS..PUT DOWN THE SCOTCH AND BAKE FASTER?"













MERRY CHRISTMAS 2017 FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS.  






HAPPY NEW YEAR..






SEE YOU AGAIN IN 2018 WITH SOME NEW RECIPES..

CHICKEN PUMPKIN DOG BONES, CHICKEN AND PUMPKIN DOG TREATS




CHICKEN PUMPKIN DOG BONES




I think these latest dog treats are the best treats that I have made so far.  My dog virtually devours them in one gulp.  I know, you are thinking that Dracula is a giant dog and he could probably ingest a full back of potatoes in one gulp, but he really, really loves these bones.  




HE WAS GETTING SO HUNGRY THAT HE DECIDED TO TRY EATTING HIS BEST FELINE FRIEND, FRANKENSTEIN.  






SO, HERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN PUMPKIN DOG BONES.





YOU ARE GOING TO NEED: PEANUT BUTTER; COOKED CHICKEN; WATER; FLOUR; APPLE SAUCE; ORGANIC PUMPKIN; EGGS; CHEESE AND ALOT OF PATIENCE...










SO, LET'S BEGIN BY ADDING SOME APPLE SAUCE.  I USED ABOUT 2 CUPS OF UNSWEETENED APPLE SAUCE.  POUR IT INTO YOUR MIXING BOWL OR IN MY CASE, POUR IT INTO YOUR LARGE POT.  NOW, SO YOU KNOW, I USED A LARGE POT BECAUSE MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, ZOE MARGETTS, CONVINCED ME TO MAKE 4 ADDITIONAL BATCHES TO GIVE AWAY TO OTHER DOG FRIENDS.








OPEN UP THE CAN OF ORGANIC PUMPKIN AND ADD IT TO THE MIXTURE.








NOW, START ADDING THE FLOUR.  IN TOTAL, I USED 13 CUPS OF FLOUR TO MAKE THIS LARGE BATCH OF COOKIES.  IT MADE ROUGHLY 160 DOG BONES AND IF YOU ITEMIZE IT WITH ALL THE INGREDIENTS IT CAME TO ABOUT: 12 CENTS PER DOG BONE. NOT TOO SHABBY WHEN IT USED TO COST ME $20 DOLLARS TO 25 COOKIES FROM THE PET STORE.







YEP, 13 CUPS OF GOOD OLD AMERICAN FLOUR..





NOW COMES THE CHICKEN.  I BOUGHT AN ORGANIC ROTISSERIE CHICKEN FROM THE LOCAL GROCERY STORE; ATE HALF OF IT WITH MY WIFE AND USED THE OTHER HALF TO MAKE THE CHICKEN PUMPKIN DOG BONES.  CHOP UP THE CHICKEN AND TOSS THEM INTO YOUR BLENDER.  ADD ABOUT 1 CUP OF WATER AND BLEND AWAY.







THAT'S RIGHT.  BLEND AWAY.





IT SHOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS.  TOSS IT INTO THE MIXTURE.

                                                                                                            



SINCE I DON'T CURRENTLY OWN A LARGE BLENDER, I HAD TO REPEAT THIS PROCESS THREE TIMES BEFORE I USED UP ALL THE CHOPPED CHICKEN.  IN THE FINAL ROUND, I ADDED TWO EGGS AND TOSSED THEM INTO THE BLENDER ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE CHICKEN AND WATER.








SEE, HERE IS A CLOSE UP OF THE EGGS AND CHICKEN AND WATER COMBO.  LOOK'S DELICIOUS, BUT IT AIN'T!!!!!!







OK, NOW THE INFAMOUS INGREDIENT, BACON...









YOU KNOW THE DRILL BY NOW.  PLACE THE BACON ON A PLATE; PUT SOME PAPER TOWELS UNDER AND ON TOP OF THE BACON TO PREVENT SPLATTER AND TOSS IT INTO THE MICROWAVE.














I COOKED THE BACON FOR ROUGHLY 9 MINUTES UNTIL IT LOOKED SOMETHING LIKE THIS.  INSTEAD OF POURING OFF THE EXCESSIVE BACON OIL....ADD IT DIRECTLY INTO THE MIXING BOWL.  AIN'T NOTHING LIKE BACON GREASE TO ADD FLAVOR TO ANY DOG TREAT!!







TAKE THE COOKED BACON AND CHOP IT INTO PIECES.  THROW IT INTO THE BLENDER WITH ABOUT 1 CUP OF WATER AND BLEND AWAY.






ADD TWO CUPS OF SHREDDED CHEESE.







ADD ONE CUP OF PEANUT BUTTER TO THE MIXTURE.






NOW, START MIXING UNTIL THE DOUGH IS SOMEWHAT FIRM.  AT THIS POINT IN THE PROCESS, YOU MAY HAVE TO ADD A HANDFUL OF FLOUR HERE AND THERE SO IT DOESN'T STICK TO FINGERS.









PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 350 DEGREES









PUT SOME PARCHMENT PAPER ONTO YOUR COOKIE TRAYS.








NOW, TAKE THE DOUGH FROM THE MIXING BOWL; ROLL IT; AND CUT INTO SHAPES OR PIECES FOR YOUR PET.







ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED THIS PROCESS, TOSS THE COOKIE SHEETS INTO THE OVEN AND BACK FOR 50 MINUTES...YOUR COOKIES ARE DONE!!!!!
