DAHLIA’S DOGGIE TREATS
Friday, December 12, 2008
Yo Pasta Mama has been under the weather. To be precise, walking pneumonia. Needless to say, the doctors and chicken soup have worked wonders. I am so far behind with my holiday baking and cooking, that I have rethought the entire process for feeding the family this holiday season. Being a Latina, of course, we will have “tamales,” cookies to add to your waistline and much more. So, stay tuned. I am also celebrating my dog’s second birthday. Dahlia is a rescued dog that brings love, joy and happiness into our home. She is fond of the kitchen so yo, Pasta Mama decided to bake some treats for her. Use a bone-shaped cookie cutter or just use a plain biscuit cutter. And I won’t tell anyone if you have a few yourself.
