We had (emphasis on had) a bit of a treats crisis here. The treats dealer we ordered from for several years suddenly went rogue and doubled the price for cow ears. So that is the point our ways part. Good luck with that price politic. Suddenly I had the problem. With what do I replace the cow ears and from where do I order. Basically I had the choice between garbage and way too expensive, often even both. What do I do when I can’t find what I want? I just make it myself. There are tons of really good recipes online. They are really easy to make, even if you never baked before. They are much cheaper then the store stuff but at the same time, I control the ingredients and that results is much better, healthier treats. I have no idea why I didn’t do that much earlier. The only “downside” is, that they do not have a long shelf live due to the lack of preservatives (well, actually not really a downside). You can’t really do batch baking, but oh well, I can still fit in another weekly habit, especially if it is for my dog. And Amy loves them, which is the most important thing ever.
