  1. You get 6 votes of a 5 star review from my gang. The baby pups loved these. The only one of the 6 that hesitated was Betty, but once she saw the others eat their treats, she gobbled it down. I'll have to keep these on hand for a special treat. Thanks for sharing and my 6 dogs thank you for posting.

  3. I made these treats with Gerber Turkey and Rice Dinner. I mixed up half a recipe, to see first if my little girl would like them. After combining all the ingredients, I used my handy dandy Pampered Chef teaspoon scooper and scooped 10 little treats onto the cookie sheet. I used a floured fork, to press the balls down into what looked like a small little, cookie. I baked these "cookies" for exactly 25 minutes. When I got ready to take them off the cookie sheet, they were stuck like glue! I was able to get them off with a little elbow grease, but I think next time I make them I will spray the sheet. Also, my Daisy could not wait to try this recipe, so we did not let them cool for 3 hours. She loves them! She has been prancing around the kitchen hoping for another one, but has already had two and that is enough for tonight. :-) Thanks for a fun treat for my girl, PaulaG!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
