Secret Recipe Club – Sweet Potato & Cinnamon Dog Treats

August 13, 2012 by angelaskitchen 13 Comments

It is time for Secret Recipe Club reveal day!  Woo-hoo!  What is the Secret Recipe Club?  It’s a lot like Secret Santa, but with recipes.  Each month you are assigned a blog.  After selecting a recipe from that bloggers repertoire, you make and post it on reveal day.  It is a great way to find fun recipes and blogs.  I like how it gets me to actually sit down and go through another person’s blog.  Blogs are a lot of work and take time to put together.  Instead of skimming through just the new stuff (as is usually easier when we see a new blog) it is fun to really sit down and go through what else the blog has to offer.  Fun stuff!

 

This time my assignment was Erin of Wholesome RD.  Erin is a Registered Dietitian who also eats cookies.  She says it’s all about balance.  🙂  Now that is my kind of gal!  I had a hard time picking out a recipe for this month because she has so many that sound delicious such as Spinach Artichoke White Bean Crostini, Chicken Marsala, Tilapia with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce, and Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte (swoon).  How is a girl to choose from such yumminess?  In fact, you’ll see her Kale Meatballs on my menu next week.  I finally settled on a type of treat I don’t make up very often- a treat for my sweet pups!  It was so simple (and cheep, cheep, cheep!) AND my dogs thought they were delicious.  I added garlic because my pups have a weakness for it, but that was the only change I made.  I found doggy sweet potato chips for sale online for $4.00 for 4 ounces plus shipping.  Wow!  I will be making these myself, thank you, and keeping these on hand all the time now (lucky pups).  The best part is that these are naturally gluten and dairy free, which makes them extra fabulous for my family when treating our furry family members.  Thank you so much, Erin, for reminding me we can bake some love for our doggies, too!  (Edit:  I switched it back to cinnamon, now, for those doggys with anemia issues.)

Sweet Potato & Cinnamon Dog Treats

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes I used 3 types of sweet potatoes to mix up the colors, because that is how I roll
  • ground cinnamon as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Slice the sweet potatoes in 1/3" to 1/4" thick. Place sweet potato slices lined baking sheet. They can touch on the baking sheet as they will shrink in the baking/drying process. Sprinkle with desired amount of cinnamon.
  • Bake for 3 hours at 250 degrees, flipping halfway through baking time. Keep an eye on the last half an hour, especially on smaller pieces so they don't scorch. Cool completely on wire rack.
  • Give your pup a treat and watch him wiggle around with joy!

    Sounds like a good recipe. I think a bit of bacon grease brushed on the slices would really make them extra special for my pup. Just a caution, dogs do like garlic but garlic doesn't like dogs. It's related to onions which are toxic to pets. If you use garlic, use it very sparingly.

      Thanks for the garlic tips. I used garlic below the recomened safe levels in my natural care book for dogs and neither of my dogs have amemia issues (thank goodness). But you are so right, a lot of dogs may not do well on garlic especially if they have compromised health issues... If anyone wants to kick up their dog chips a bit, but can't use garlic for their pup, it looks like cinnamon is on the totally safe list for dogs. Woo! I tried a batch with cinnamon, and my dogs went CRAZY for them too. Thanks for the heads up Rene! I appreciate it!

    What a great idea - I've even seen a pet-food cookbook somewhere before (and I might even have a copy somewhere. I'm sure my dog would love these, however, she has the kind of tummy that results in throwing up in the middle of the night when she tries something different (and don't let her near bananas!), so I'll need to pass.

I am so happy when someone tries one of my recipes. I do ask, though, that you link back to the recipe instead of posting it on your site unless you have made major changes. I have big plans for some of my recipes. Please remember, recipes are for personal use only.
