Although my dog died three years ago he loved these meaty homemade dog treats and I still make them for neighbors' dogs. Bacon grease or meat drippings can be used in place of shortening, and any type of cooked meat may be used in place of pork.

Fresh Strawberry Granita
Granita is a gorgeous Italian frozen iced dessert . You can make it any time of the year, but it's really best enjoyed during the summer months. Not only is it cold and delicious, but it forces you to pop your hot face into the freezer four or five times to stir. Mixing the granita with a fork several times as it freezes results in perfect icy crystals.
Shiitake and Baby Bella Mushroom Risotto
This shiitake mushroom risotto is extremely good. I like using fresh shiitakes because they give the rice a nice texture.
