Very Very Veggie Easter Treat
This is a repost: I’ve been spending a lot of time volunteering at the shelter, and I realized this morning that I hadn’t posted for you today. The days have been flying by me! I promise to send out a new post this week, either Thursday or Friday. I have a new tablescape and new doggie easter posts for you. I made these treats for the dogs, and looking back at these photos, they made me laugh. Jake was adorable with his little green bean. I remember that day so fondly. I haven’t posted a dog treat recipe in a while, so here is one for your furbaby for Easter 🙂
Have you been wanting to make healthy homemade dog treats but have been too intimidated to try? Afraid to mess them up, or your dogs won’t like them? Well, these are healthy, doggie-approved, easier than ever-made dog treats and in shapes of Easter eggs, flowers, and bunnies. It took no time at all to make them and only 20 minutes to cook. I bought these adorable cutters at Kroger for my oatmeal and raisin cookies I wanted to make (recipe compliments of my dad), but decided to use them to make these Very Veggie Easter Dog Treats!
You can easily spread this mixture out flat on a baking sheet, but I wanted to be a bit more “fancy” and as thick as the cutter. I wanted a more “meaty” treat for Jake and Maggie to enjoy! They absolutely love zucchini and carrots, and are starting to fall in love with green beans. Well, Maggie LOVES them while Jake…NOT REALLY :-). But combined in a delicious treat, and he won’t know the difference :-).
I would love to know if you make these and how your pup liked them. Enjoy!!!

Maggie "eyeing" up the treats 🙂
Jake and his green bean 🙂
Jake isn’t very fond of green beans. He prefers to play with them than to eat them! LOL
