Finding Joy in Making Simple Dog Treats At Home!

# YUM! 

Our dogs really love....
Treats

## Here's How I Do It

First step...

I wash the sweet potato and slice the potato with a slicer.  A slicer helps me get the thin pieces. 
Next, lay the slices on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.

## Time To Bake!

Slide them in the oven on a low setting until they are crispy.  I usually set the oven to 250.

Final thoughts...

I love these treats and so do the dogs.  No I don't personally eat them, although I could.  I love them because they are easy and cheap.  Let's not forget Healthy and all natural.  Doesn't that sound fancy.  
I find Joy in doing things for our family that are both healthy and cheap. 
Give it a try and see if your doggies love them too.


Here's a video my husband @daddykirbs did about another dog treat recipe our puppies love!

So far my Cats don't like pumpkin, but they don't like people food, so that is no surprise.  @findingjoy  can you put the treats in a blender and make them into powder that can be rehydrated and cooked?

doesn't get much easier than that! i'd end up breaking them into smaller pieces and adding them to a bowl of food, too. never hurts to for our buddies to get some extra nutrients during the dreary winter time.
