Pumpkin Dog Treats

in Dog-Friendly, Food on October 1, 2016

ยฉ Capturing ParenthoodOur dogs are a part of our family and they deserve some homemade treats every once in awhile too! Our crazy pupsย happen to love pumpkin – we sometimes plop a dollop of pumpkin puree on top of their dog food when they are not feeling well (it can help ease a canine’s upset stomach), or even just for a special treat.

So when I came across this Pumpkin Dog Biscuits recipe from Marilyn at http://simmertilldone.com/2009/10/07/retriever-retriever-pumpkin-eater/, I knew my dogs would be happy!

Side note: I did adapt the recipe in regards to the flour (I chose to use oat flour instead of brown rice flour) and I chose to make larger biscuits.

 

 

Pumpkin Dog Treats
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Canned Pumpkin Puree (not the canned pumpkin pie mix)
  • 2 Tbsp. Dry Milk
  • 1/4 tsp. Sea Salt
  • 2-1/2 Cups Oat Flour
  • 1 tsp. Dried Parsley
  • Dog Bone Cookie Cutter
  1. Preheat ovenยฉ Capturing Parenthood to 350ยฐ F.
  2. In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the eggs and pumpkin and mix until smooth. Add in the dry milk, sea salt, and parsley.
  3. With your mixer on the slowest setting, gradually add the oat flour until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the dough has formed. If the dough is so dry that it will not stick together (even when you knead it by hand), you can add a small amount of water. If the dough is too wet and sticky to handle, you can add a small amount of flour. *Keep in mind though, that the dough will pick up more flour when you roll it out.
  4. Spread some oat flour around on a large, flat surface and place your dough on top. Roll the dough to your desired thickness (depending on how chewy or crunchy your dog prefers their treats).
  5. Cut out your treats using the cookie cutter and place them on an un-greased cookie sheet (tip: use a standard cookie sheet, not an air-bake style cookie sheet).
  6. Lightly press fork tongs halfway through the middle of each treat, and then place them in the oven to bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the cookies over, and put them back in the oven for 20 more minutes.
  7. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely before serving.
  8. Repeat the above steps with the remaining dough, until all of the treats have been baked.
  9. These Pumpkin Dog Treats can be stored in an airtight container, or Ziploc bag.

ยฉ Capturing ParenthoodThis recipe made 38 large, crunchy dog treats!

And if you’re wondering whether our pups actually enjoyed these…anytime we opened a Ziploc bag (any Ziploc bag) they were suddenly sitting right by our side! These treats are even safe for human consumption…so, if you are inclined to try one, go ahead and pop it in your mouth. I will admit that they are a bit bland for my taste, but our dogs think that they are scrumptious!

Ok...@artwithmrs.e Haunted House project is hands- Ok...@artwithmrs.e Haunted House project is hands-down the best Halloween-themed art project out there! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ
We had a blast creating haunted houses for homeschool art this month! ๐Ÿงก
...
We followed Kaitlyn's extremely helpful Haunted House Drawing Guide (you can find it over on her Teachers Pay Teachers account) and completed the project over the course of 3 lessons.
...
During our first lesson, we sketched our houses in pencil, and added some eerie exterior landscaping. ๐Ÿชฆ๐Ÿฆ‡
We popped in a few spooky characters (ghosts, spiders, pumpkins, and a vampire). ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ•ท๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿง›
And then we traced over our pencil lines with black Sharpie.
...
During our next lesson, we used a coloring technique that we learned from Kristian @friendsartlab โค๏ธ We colored our pictures with oil pastels...and then painted over the top of the oil pastels with baby oil...it causes the oil pastels to bleed and blend together! ๐Ÿคฉ
...
During our final lesson...we added more spooky characters to the inside of our house...that can peek out behind the doors and windows. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿง™โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ป
To do this...I used an X-acto knife and carefully cut around the outside edges of the doors/windows (leaving the hinge sides intact so that they could fold open and closed).
We placed yellow construction paper in the background...and added witches, ghosts, skeletons, a mummy, and a Frankenstein! ๐Ÿ˜
This step made our haunted houses really come to life...and we just can't thank Kaitlyn @artwithmrs.e enough for sharing this awesome lesson and drawing guide! THE ABSOLUTE BEST! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
...
It was very evident how much our daughter loved this project...as we worked through each step...but the thing that solidified just how much she enjoyed it was - one weekend morning I walked downstairs to find her and her dad sitting at the table - and she was very excitedly teaching him how to draw his own haunted house - while she drew a few more herself (scroll to the last picture in the carousel)! ๐Ÿฅฐ

That's right...first-time pumpkin-growers over here...and it was all actually a bit of a surprise. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
...
You see, when we went to prep our garden beds this spring, we noticed a plant that had already started growing. We assumed it was a cucumber plant, since it was in the same place we had cucumbers last year.
We left it alone and planted a couple of other cucumber plants nearby. ๐Ÿฅ’
At first, the leaves on our mystery plant looked very similar to the leaves on our other cucumber plants.
But a couple of weeks later the plant had grown A LOT bigger. It was now obvious that it was not a cucumber plant. But what was it? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
...
And that's when it suddenly dawned on these exhausted parents, that our daughter had spontaneously tossed seeds from her pumpkin (last Halloween), into the garden bed. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ The mystery was finally solved...and by the looks of the large golden flowers that were emerging all over the vines...we figured we might have a few pumpkins come fall! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ™Œ
...
It was so much fun to watch the pumpkin plant grow! ๐Ÿคฉ We had to cut down the wire on one side of our garden bed to let the vines out...and they ended up growing 6-10 feet long in both directions! ๐Ÿ˜ณ It was crazy!
They put out the most gorgeous flowers...that the bees absolutely loved! ๐Ÿงก And soon enough, we spotted a few round gourds growing at the base of some of the flowers. They grew quickly...and then turned a beautiful shade of orange! ๐Ÿ˜
...
Needless to say, we are now officially pumpkin-growing people! ๐Ÿ˜‚ My husband can't wait to plant more next year...and he's already looking in to different varieties - hoping to grow some larger jack-o-lantern style ones next season! ๐ŸŽƒ

Free the Frankensteins from the Frozen Rainbow Bra Free the Frankensteins from the Frozen Rainbow Brain! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿง 
โ€ฆ
Yesterday, we shared how we made this colorful, frozen rainbow brain - full of Frankenstein mini erasersโ€ฆand today we wanted to show you what became of our beautiful brain! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
โ€ฆ
We popped it out onto a tray, grabbed a shaker of salt, a bottle of warm water (colored red for added effect), and some tongs.
And then it was time to Free the Frankensteins (our daughter coined the phrase)! ๐Ÿ˜‰
โ€ฆ
This spooky activity provides chilly sensory play, motor skills practice, and scientific exploration (salt and warm water speed-up the melting process)! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ
As an added bonusโ€ฆyou also get some color-mixing! And the addition of the salt makes it extra sparkly too! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜
โ€ฆ
Eventually, all youโ€™re left with is some mini erasers floating in a pool of colorful waterโ€ฆand a happy kid! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

We are definitely getting into the fall and Hallow We are definitely getting into the fall and Halloween spirit...so during a recent homeschool art session, we decided to make some air-dry clay pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns! ๐ŸŽƒ๐ŸŽƒ๐ŸŽƒ
...
Back in 2019, Lauralee @2art.chambers shared several colorful, air-dry clay pumpkins that her students made...and after rediscovering the saved post, I decided that it would be a perfect October art lesson for us too! ๐Ÿงก
...
We used various colors of air-dry clay, and rolled each color into whatever pumpkin shape we wanted...and then we added our lines/indentations using the side of a credit card. ๐Ÿ’ณ The stems are just small, broken pieces of old crayons (another genius idea from Lauralee). ๐Ÿ– And we topped our stems with pieces of pipe cleaner, to create the little curly cues. ๐Ÿ˜
...
Once we had our pumpkins...we decided to change things up a bit, and grabbed our stash of googly eyes. ๐Ÿ‘€ (Most of) our fall pumpkins then transformed into Halloween jack-o-lanterns! ๐ŸŽƒ
We pressed the googly eyes into the clay, and we used a few small tools (that came with our box of air-dry clay) to add their mouths. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
...
And now we have a cute and colorful crew of clay pumpkins adorning our mantle! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿงก๐ŸŽƒ

But we decided to switch things up a little bit! Instead of using our names, we each picked a color that we like...wrote the name of the color in block letters on our paper...and created our color patterns using at least two different shades of our chosen color. ๐Ÿ–
...
This colorful project ended up being a lot of fun, and also very relaxing...as we all quietly focused, and zoned in on adding the color patterns around all of our letters. It was actually a bit hypnotizing! ๐Ÿคฉ
...
Needless to say, we are really happy with the way our block letter color project turned out! ๐Ÿ™Œ We even had a special guest who wanted to join in on this art project! โค๏ธ

She was used to drawing pictures of herself with her long, blonde locks...and her new hairstyle proved rather difficult. But she persevered, and ended up with a self-portrait that she was truly proud of! ๐Ÿฅฐ
...
When we were finished drawing our likenesses, we decided to cut them out and create a special background to glue them onto. I went with random black and white designs...and our nugget decided to draw various things that she loves (her family, winter, candy, books, dolphins...and more)! โค๏ธ

It was such a fun project...and I can't wait to see what our self-portraits look like at the end of our school year! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
