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.
