Before getting started, I would like to take a moment to
thank all the men and women who have served for my country, and have put their
life on the line for the peace we have today.
5 cups flour
1½ cups banana
½ tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1/8 c. peanuts (optional)
¼ cup vegetable oil
Preheat oven 325 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, baking soda, and peanuts. In a separate bowl combine banana, vanilla, egg, and vegetable oil.
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture, pour wet mixture into the well. Blend together, adding warm water, a teaspoon at a time. Knead until the dough comes together.
On a floured surface shape dough into a long rectangle, that is 1 inch thick and 6 inches tall. Length depends on the amount of dough.
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes. Slice into ½” to 1“ biscotti slices. Bake another 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips:
I made my biscottis thicker, as my dogs are large. You can change up the sizes though depending on your dog. These treats freeze great, and that is actually how I leave them. I put them in a freezer bag and just leave them on the door, and just give them to Max frozen, it adds a nice crunch.
That's all for this week, I hope all the lucky puppies enjoy their treats. Don't forget to leave a comment, they are always appreciated.
Happy Baking!!

So last night was casino night with my boys J.
It was amazing, and I looked pretty good ;P. The company was perfect, the meal
was amazing, and as always the staff at the restaurant was just wonderful. My
friend and I always do a 5 course surprise meal, which means the chef decides
what to send out. Our meal included: crab and coleslaw, shrimp and asian pear
salad, artic char on wild mushrooms, duck foie gras with a buffalo pastry, rack
of venison, and a chocolate mousse with a dark chocolate passion fruit ball and
passion fruit sherbet. I can honestly say not one thing was bad. The meal has
always been wonderful every year, but this year was just amazing.
The week has been a tough one with stress at work, however
this week is a nice short week. I hope it flys J. I also found out my
friend is an aunt again :D Congrats DJ!!!!!
So my recipe this week went to the dogs…..literally :P. I
decided with Christmas coming to take a break for treats for the house, and
make something for Max. An old recipe that I know dogs love is banana biscottis
that I used to make for all the dogs in my life. They are home made, so you
know exactly what’s going into them, this is very helpful when it comes to dogs
with sensitive stomachs. You can also eat them yourself. Now I did double my
recipe because of the number of dogs I know lol so I have a lot more then
normal.

They don't have to be perfect.
When you cut them, they look great.
I broiled mine a bit to get a nice brown colour
He gave the final verdict that they were good :)
