Last gardenia of the year

This flower was definitely a late-bloomer since the rest of the bush flowered in June but it made me smile none-the-less after a day of rain.

Homemade dog treats

I made some homemade dog treats with ingredients from around the house today. This is a recipe my mom found that is so much healthier (and cheaper!) than anything you get at the pet store. The raw hide chew treats have been hard on Dusty's stomach lately so this is a great alternative and he loves them. I didn't have a bone-shaped cookie cutter so I just used one we already had. These smell so good when they are cooking, you literally want to eat them yourself! Here is the recipe if you are like me and you're tired of spending a fortune on dog bones:

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 cup applesauce

1 cup oatmeal

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly until dough forms. Roll out dough with rolling pin and punch out cookie shape with cutter. Place on baking sheet covered with wax paper. Bake 30 minutes, then flip cookie over and bake for another 30 minutes until crunchy and hard.
