ORGANIC DOG BISCUITS

Submitted by Kim A. Heaphy

"This is a recipe that is a hit at many of the dog rescue fundraisers. It always does my heart good to see guardians buying the organic biscuits for their pets and to see these sell out before the other dog biscuits always makes me smile! For my little finicky mutts, they seem to really enjoy them and it gives me great comfort in this time of massive recalls that I can feed my pets the best possible treat I can. This recipe is also a great way to use up left over sweet potato or squash. A quick cheat on this recipe is to use Sweet Potato baby food in place of the fresh sweet potato or squash."
