Taco Shell

• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown rice flour
• 1 tbsp ground flax
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• chicken broth

Filling

• 1/4 cup finely shredded cheese
• 1/8 cup carrots, chopped very small
• 2 tbsp Italian parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup lean ground beef, cooked, cooled and in small crumbles
• 1 large egg

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F

2. Mix flour, brown rice flour, ground flax. Then mix in vegetable oil. Once you have incorporated the vegetable oil, slowly add chicken broth until the dough just begins to hold together. I would add chicken broth with a spoon, stir it, and then add more, spoon by spoon. Once you have added enough broth, knead dough until it becomes soft, 1-2 minutes. Shape dough into a disc, wrap with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

3. While the dough is chilling, make the filling.

4. Mix finely shredded cheese, carrots, Italian parsley, and ground beef. Mix in the egg.

5. On a floured surface, roll out chilled dough, thinly. Cut out circular shapes.

6. Place a little filling on one side of the circle and flip the other side over. Read more

Happy Fourth of July! Today we celebrate the independence of our country, barbeque with friends and family, and have a day off work! As you’re preparing to go to your family get-together or barbeque down by the lake, don’t forget Fido! Today’s drool-worthy recipe comes from Yuki + Rocket, and of course their mom, Melissa. She’s shared this perfect blueberry cookie recipe that is perfect for your pooch’s taste buds! We know your dog will enjoy this star-spangled dog treat!

Blueberry Stars
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tbsp flaxseed
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup applesauce (unsweetened or naturally sweetened)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries, defrosted (preferably organic)
1 tbsp honey
Non- fat milk 

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, flaxseed and oats. Add the applesauce, blueberries (setting aside the blueberry liquid that forms after the defrosting), and honey. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough just begins to hold together.

3. Knead the dough on a floured surface. Roll out the dough to desired thickness and with whatever cookie cutter shape you have chosen, cut out the cookie.

4. Place cookie cut-outs on a silpat or lightly greased baking sheet. Put in oven for about 30 minutes. You need to flip the cookies over halfway through the baking time and also rotate the pan. Let cookies cool completely before icing.

Blueberry Yogurt Icing
Ingredients
One 4 oz., individual serving of non-fat yogurt (I used an organic vanilla yogurt, sweetened with organic sugar)
Reserved blueberry liquid

Recipe Note: If you don't use a sweetened yogurt, you might want to consider adding a little honey to the yogurt.

Directions

1. With a small whisk, mix the yogurt until there are little to no clumps. Slowly add the blueberry liquid, teaspoon at time. Careful not to add too much, you don't want it to become runny.

2. Pour yogurt into some sort of icing decorator. I spooned the yogurt into a plastic squeeze bottle.

3. Store cookies in the refrigerator, icing will set better if left in for a few hours.

Recipe Note: I suggest feeding your pup the cookies the same day they are made or you can store the cookies and yogurt icing separately, if you want to feed them to your pups the next day. If you leave the cookies with yogurt overnight, the yogurt will dry up.

Your dog is sure to see fireworks with these festive treats! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe and the photos with us, Yuki + Rocket!
