and the warmed
chicken broth.

▪ Slowly add all-purpose
flour until a stiff dough is formed and it
can be kneaded by hand.
▪ Knead
for only a couple
minutes, just enough to get the dough
to hold together.
▪
Roll out dough about 1/4" thick and cut with cookie cutters.
▪ Place
biscuits on a large cookie tray and place directly in a
300 degree oven,
they don't need to rise.
▪ Bake for 45 min. and then turn off the oven.
▪ You can let them sit in the oven overnight and in the morning
they will
be real hard and good for your dog's teeth.
▪
You could also vary this recipe by adding milk for a milk-bone
type
biscuit or shortening for a little extra fat.
▪ Try different liquids and
even honey or molasses, Check with
your veterinarian for any other
nutritional suggestions.

Broccoli Salad 1 large bunch of broccoli
10 strips of bacon
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
1 cup mayo
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup white sugar The night before serving, mix together mayo, vinegar and sugar. Store in
fridge overnight.
Chop bacon into 1/4 inch pieces and fry until crisp. Drain and set aside.
Wash broccoli thoroughly and cut flower parts into bite-size
pieces. Discard stalk. Mix broccoli, raisins and onion together. Before
serving, pour dressing over broccoli and toss lightly. Sprinkle bacon on
top.
I've used light mayo and "regular" raisins with no problem. I've also
mixed the dressing right before pouring over broccoli and it's fine,
too. Just a little grainy until the sugar melts.
