I originally was searching the internet for dog cookies I could make with the kids, and after looking over some of the recipes, I realized that I could make them a whole lot easier...and with ingredients already in the house... FANTASTIC. Thats what i was looking for.... not something I would have to go shopping for the ingredients. I will do that for my family, but it seemed a little silly to do with the dog....
So here it is... this is what I came up with and Jordan loved them...
PS- They smell super fantastic while cooking and dont include any ingredients that would be gross for humans so feel free to taste a bite... :)
Ingredients:
3 Cups of Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1 egg beaten
1/2 of chicken broth
1/2 of dry milk (or soy milk if you have that instead)
6 Tbl. Margarine
1 tsp of honey
1/2 c oats
3-4 tbl parmesean
and a little bit of parsley for their breathe....
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine butter, milk and garlic
Cut in flour and honey
mix in egg
Add in chicken broth (should be very thick dough, hard enough to form a ball, it will also be very sticky)
Roll Dough into 1/2 in thick layer and cut cookies (yields approx 90 1inch cookies)
Bake at 350 for approx. 25-30 mins.

Learning how to fly...
When I first found out about flylady (www.flylady.net) I was still in a place where I was overwhelmed by what surrounded me. I couldnt get a grasp on what exactly I should do to begin. With the help of a dear friend who has the mind set for these types of things, I was able to get a good stable ground on which to start and learn exactly what I needed to do on a daily basis.
From the time I could start working, I did. Being a stay at home mom is a brand new thing to me since the birth of my third child. Even then I worked part time until just last year...
I never really understood what to do with myself during the day, and especially if I didnt have the kids at home with me. I knew what NEEDED to get done, but just didnt have the motivation to do it. NOR, did I have the thoughts organized in my head to know where to start.
I would just leave the house, and then regret it later, when still nothing got done and I had spent money on things that come to find out I already owned, and it was just burried.
At the beginning of the year, when it comes time to think about New Years Resolutions, I wasnt quite sure what I wanted for myself.
I never really make resolutions anymore, because I always feel as if I am setting myself up for failure. I would always be ashamed that I did not acheive this goal I had set out for... and believe me when I come up with an idea, I run with it, not only run but its more like an iron man!
Then when I end up overwhelming myself half way through, I quit!
This year, I decided that I would come up with something that would be more attainable in the long run because it comes in baby steps. It would not just be a New Year Resolution, but a life-long resolution... Something that will always be a work in progress. It will show accomplishment along the way, vs. one big reward at the end.
My resolution: in a nutshell.
First off, to be a better me. I cant do better for others if there is still work to be done on myself.
To be a better mom, and to be a better wife.
What this would include, is that there is always a routine, everyone always knows what is expected from me and what I expect from them. Dinner always at the same time, menus planned in advance, cleaning done on a scheduled daily routine, etc....
So far, so good and I think I've nailed it.
