**RICHARD** · 12-23-2009, 07:28 AM

I know that everyone always pops into the 'bar' when things get slow for the Holidays.

I am opening up early and thought a little free form Thursday would be fun!

Please make yourselves at home and I will pop in to serve and take care of everyone, as ususal.

I am making biscuits and gravy.....and tea!

DONE!

I could give you a hand with some pumpkin bread. I'm getting ready to pop a couple in the oven in a few minutes.

I think we should do something special for the PT kids. How about homemade dog biscuits, tuna cassarole, birdie bread and assorted tidbits to make them feel festive and loved?

And I'll take some a'them biscuits and gravy!!

Hey Cathy - I beat you to it. Last year I made homemade "Pea-Mutt Butter Dog Cookies" for my two, and ended up giving a few for friend's dogs. Boy - did I start something there. This year I ended up making 2 double batches - for my pups, and back by popular demand for other pups. I don't want to have to make another till next year.

Here ya' go - really simple!

Pea-Mutt Butter Dog Cookies
Recipe from "The Doggy Bone Cookbook" by Michele Bledsoe.

2 tbl corn oil
1/2C creamy peanut butter
1C water
1C whole wheat flour
2C white flour

Combine: oil, peanut butter, water

Add: flour, 1 cup at a time. Knead into firm dough. Roll to 1/4" thick (I do it a little thinner). Cut with cookie cutter. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes. I go on the low side of that for the most part.

I tried to find a dog bone cookie cutter but couldn't, so I picked up Christmas shapes mini size cookie cutters at Walmart. Using the mini cutters makes a lot, and they are a nice bite size for dogs.

Now all you doggie parents - get baking!
