This recipe for Pupzelles was submitted by Beverly Stulen who says, Our late greyt, Bonnie, loved these treats and we give them as gifts to all our dog friends. Even our cat loves them. As soon as we would start making regular pizzelles, Bonnie would start hanging around the kitchen because she knew that when the pizzelles were finished, we would make Pupzelles. She would start nudging, grinning and chattering her teeth as soon as the first ones came off the iron.

Pupzelles

1½ C flour

½ C corn meal

1¼ C cheddar cheese, shredded

1 Handful any brand dog biscuits, ground into small pieces (I use a food processor for this step)

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

¼ C dried parsley

1/3 C oil

3 eggs

6 T water


After crushing dog biscuits, mix all ingredients together. Add additional water to make the batter thin enough for the pizzelle iron. Preheat pizzelle iron. Since this batter is usually thicker than people pizzelle batter, cook pupzelles longer (about 2 minutes). Makes approximately 3 doz Pupzelles. Store in refrigerator or freeze.


Frozen Pumpkin Treats (by Elaine Pensenstadler and Erika Tardio)


Take 1 small can (or fresh pumpkin) pumpkin (not the pie filling) and spoon into an ice cube tray and freeze for a healthy and inexpensive treat. Pumpkin contains antioxidants and is high in iron and zinc as well as fiber for good bowel health.


Frozen Yogurt and Peanut butter Treats (by Elaine Pensenstadler)


16 oz vanilla yogurt

½ C peanut butter (melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make stirring easier)


Mix together and scoop into ice cube trays. Yogurt is high in protein, calcium, B12 and riboflavin. The live cultures help boost the immune system and encourage good bacteria to grow in the gut which aids in food digestion and can help with greyhound gas!
