Next up...

Little Green Monsters!

Sorry for the hiatus.  I had a plethora of various treats, and I wanted Melvin to eat those before I made another batch.  I even pawned some off to my dog-owning friends!

So next Tuesday I'll be trying a recipe that I concocted.  One of Melvin's favorite vegetables is green beans, so I'm going to incorporate them into some biscuits.  I think his favorite vegetable is carrots, so I'll have to come up with a recipe with carrots in the future!

Tuna Biscuits!

After the majority of the snickerpoodles were eaten, I decided my next batch of treats would be Tuna Biscuits.  Although Melvin is allergic to almost everything, he's not allergic to seafood and happens to love it! So here they are...

Ingredients:
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup oatmeal
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 small can tuna in oil--undrained
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup flour



Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl.

3.  Roll out dough on a floured surface until it is about a quarter of an inch thick.

4.  Use cookie cutters to cut out biscuits and place on a foil-lined cookie sheet.

5. Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Cool completely before sharing!



6.  Store in an airtight container and refridgerate for long-lasting treats!

Melvin lovessss these treats!  Melvin's friends, Persia and Buddy, love them too!
