Homemade Dog Biscuits
These homemade dog biscuits have only 6 ingredients and they are super easy and super fun to make! The best part is, you know exactly what your dog is eating! My daughter and son in law recently had a liter of adorable husky puppies. For fun, I made them these homemade dog biscuits and they were a huge hit! What’s great about this recipe is that you can make them different sizes and different shapes depending on the size of your dog, or depending on how you want to use them. For a special treat, maybe make larger biscuits, or for training, you could make small little bites. If your dog has any allergies or sensitivities, you might check with your vet before serving them. How to make homemade dog biscuits In a large bowl, whisk together some whole wheat flour, corn meal, and baking powder. Then, add some peanut butter, eggs, and water. Mix the ingredients until a smooth dough forms, wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Next, dust a cutting board with some flour and roll out the dough until it is 1/4 inch thick. Cut out your biscuits and place them on a prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, let them cool, and spoil your four legged friend! Your dog is going to love these homemade dog biscuits!

Mise en Place
Mise en place is a french term meaning everything in it’s place. I should know, because I took 5 years of French! The idea is to get prepped before you start cooking. This is what restaurant chefs do so that things run smoothly in the kitchen. A good mise en place will make cooking much more enjoyable for you. For a home cook, this means reading through the entire recipe from start to finish before you begin. This will ensure that you have all of the ingredients and utensils on hand before you get started. Your significant other will be so happy when they don’t have to make that emergency grocery store run! Here, I have gathered all of the ingredients that will need to be prepared for a delicious beef stew. The vegetables and aromatics need to be cleaned, peeled, sliced, chopped, and diced and the broth and tomato paste need to be measured out. I always have a “garbage bowl”, which is just a large empty bowl, nearby when I’m doing my mise en place. It’s really convenient to be able to toss away the waste into a nearby bowl. For other recipes, you might need to toast some nuts, measure out some spices, grate some cheese etc. You get the idea. Anything that can be done ahead of time to make the cooking process run more smoothly. After all the slicing, dicing, chopping, and measuring I put each ingredient in it’s own appropriately sized bowl. I also arrange them in the order I will be using them. With my mise en place completed, I am ready to cook up a storm (a very organized smooth flowing storm, that is)!
