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.

- 2.5 cups sifted whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups dry milk powder
- 1 cube beef bouillon , crumbled

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Re-roll and cut scraps until no dough is left. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Peach Cheesecake
My recipe card for this peach cheesecake is stained and worn, if that tells you anything. I've had more requests for a copy of this recipe than any other dish I make. It smells heavenly when it's baking and tastes even better! I almost always double the recipe because it disappears fast.

This sugar candy recipe is from my mother. This is only one of the many candy recipes she makes at Christmas and gives away to friends.
