I made these with my toddler to give as Christmas gifts to our dog friends. The recipe was fairly easy to follow and there were plenty of steps where he could "help." I simplified things by using a food processor, first grinding the oatmeal to set aside, then shredding the apple (I kept the peel on and it added nice color to the treats), then switching to a dough blade to mix everything together. The dough was a little sticky, but I kneaded in a little extra flour and then it was very easy to work with. These smelled so good baking, my son was upset when I wouldn't let him eat one!

I'm an Associate Director of Catering for a hotel in NYC... I book and plan banquet events. I have been in the food and beverage industry for 17 years, mostly in deluxe hotels so I'm lucky to have great travel perks.
I wish I can find more time to cook. I usually work long hours and mostly eat at work. Because of all the restaurant/banquet food I eat at work, I long for the basic, comfort food that I've been deprived of. I like this site for the variety of recipes and the honest reviews... wish I bumped into it before.
Other than my love for food, wine, and travel, I'm also passionate about animals. I have 2 dogs-- a Cocker Spaniel and a Jack Russell mix.
Update: From my animal advocacy work, I now know way too much so I recently turned vegetarian...working my way in becoming vegan though dairy is hard to resist sometimes. Any great vegetarian or vegan recipes would be very much appreciated! :-)
