A couple of people have asked that I post the recipes that are currently in the brochure. So, as requested:
Hot Dog Biscotti
Ingredients:
1 package biscuit mix
1 large egg
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¾ lb hot dogs (Sue got chicken or turkey dogs)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons canola
2 tablespoon flax seed oil
1 beef or chicken stock bouillon cube
½ cup water
Instructions:
Place a saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Add the canola oil. Rough chop the hot dogs and add to pan. Cook until the hot dogs are evenly browned, about 6 – 7 minutes. Add the water and bouillon and stir until the pan is deglazed and the cube is dissolved. Allow the pan to cool. Add the contents of the pan to the bender with the other ingredients, and prepare the dough per the basic instructions.
Preheat oven to 350°
Divide prepared dough into thirds. Roll each portion of dough into a ball, then into a cylinder about 1½” in diameter.
Place the rolled dough portions on a parchment covered cookie sheet, and press to flatten to form “loaves” about ½” in thickness.
Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, rotating the sheet after 10 minutes.
Remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Slide the parchment on to a wire cooling rack. Lower the oven temperature to 325°.
Allow the loaves to cool to “handling” temperature. Using a sharp knife, cut each loaf into ½” slices.
Place the slices back on the cookie sheet, with a cut side down. Return the cookie sheet to the oven and bake for 30 minutes, rotating the sheet after 15 minutes.
Remove to rack and cool in the oven per the basic instructions.
Liver Snaps
Ingredients:
1 package biscuit mix
1 large egg
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¾ lb beef or chicken liver
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons canola
2 tablespoon flax seed oil
1 beef or chicken stock bouillon cube
½ cup water
Instructions:
Place a saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Add the canola oil. Rough chop the liver and add to pan. Cook until the liver is evenly browned, about 6 – 7 minutes. Add the water and bouillon and stir until the pan is deglazed and the cube is dissolved. Allow to cool.
Preheat oven to 275°
Place liver and liquid in the blender with other oils, brown sugar, and egg. Prepare dough per basic instructions.
Flatten the dough to ¼” and cut into ½” squares. Place cut squares on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 45 minutes, rotating the sheet(s) about halfway through the baking time.
Remove from oven. Increase oven temperature to 350°. Remove baked squares to wire rack. When the oven reaches temperature, place the wire rack in the oven, and immediately turn off the oven. Allow to cool in the oven several hours or overnight.

Posted by Sweet Sue's Valet 
On August 3rd, the “Tour de Sue” took place. The goal was to celebrate her life, by spreading her ashes in all of her favorite places all in one day. The tour started about 7 AM, in Irvine, CA, and ended about 10:30 PM, in Alamo, CA, covering about 500 miles. Bandanas collected from Hemopet Bubble Baths were cut into strips, tied and left as markers, each place we scattered a few of her earthly remnants. There were 18 stops, including dogs parks & beaches, favorite walks & trails, friends’ yards, and other places she spent significant or meaningful amounts of time.
Lose The Sugar…
October 9, 2009I was helping at the CalGAP booth at the Irvine Pet Trek (a walkathon fundraiser for the local shelter), when someone recognized me as “the dog cookie mix guy”. Besides wondering if I was handing out samples, the lady asked about eliminating the brown sugar from the basic recipe…
We went back into the test kitchen, and here are the results:
The sugar helps hold everything together, so depending on the meat and/or vegetables selected, the results were mixed, when the sugar was just eliminated.
Substituting a couple of tablespoons of egg white for the brown sugar, yielded much more consistent results.
