Homemade whole wheat Cheese Crackers

man i love love pinterest, there are so many great things on there, including awesome simple delish recipes, like these cheddar crackers! Cheesy with a little kick! :♥) 

1 1/2 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese

4 tbsp unsalted butter, soften and diced

3/4 cup whole wheat flour (you can use white)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1 tbsp milk

Preheat oven to 350˚

Place everything except the milk in a food processor. Pulse the processor, 5 seconds at a time, for about 5 or 6 times, until the dough is in coarse crumbs. Add the milk and process until the dough gathers together in a ball.

Roll the dough out on a floured board with a rolling pin that has been floured until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Place the crackers at least ¼ inch apart on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes until the edges are just starting to brown.  Place the baking sheet on a rack and let the crackers cool completely. Eat! Or store in a covered container to eat within a day or two.

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats

sometimes you have to wonder what exactly they put in pet food. most times you are paying for junk filler stuffs. since getting rosco and him getting sick on beneful puppy food, i am more cautious on what i give him. so i found some great homemade healthy doggy treats! :♥)

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

2 large eggs

2/3 cup pumpkin purée, canned or fresh

3 tbsps peanut butter

Preheat the oven to 350°F

Place all ingredients in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium for about a minute or until the dough looks like a bunch of little dough balls. If you pinch a piece and it crumbles, add a little water.

 If it’s really sticky, it’s too wet and you’ll need to add a little flour. Gather the dough together and form into a ball. Place on a lightly floured work surface and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness. You can either use a cookie cutter to cut out cute shapes or use a knife to cut squares or strips.

Place the cookies on a baking sheet. They can be crowded pretty close together since they don’t expand much. Bake 15-20 minutes for softer treats or 30 minutes for hard treats! :♥)

these are Rosco approved!!
