I'm baking dog treats for my dog-loving friends for Yule this year, and very recently (last Friday) one of my fur-babies had 24 teeth pulled! He loves his munchies, so I'm trying to find recipes for SOFT dog treats.
I found one made with baby food that seems pretty easy. I also found one called Soft Banana Strips, but every site I go to that lists it has awful directions so I'm not really sure how to make them.

Do you have any SOFT dog treat recipes?
Can we put a Pet Treat category up in the Recipes section?

Much thanks!

Potato Slaw

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    3 Medium Potatoes
    1 Large Carrot
    1/4 Cabbage
    1/2 Celery Stick
    1/2 Onion
    1 Can Three-Bean Salad
    Italian Seasoning
    Black Pepper
    1 Large Garlic
    Salt

Start by dicing and cooking the potatoes in salt water. You should leave the skin on for more fiber.

While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic (use your garlic press), finely chop the celery and onion, grate the carrots (on the small side) and chop the cabbage into small strips. Put everything into a bowl with a small pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, a heavy pinch of ...

A few months ago someone made a post about soups (or peanuts perhaps...) and in one of the comments some lovely genius linked to a recipe for a soup that contained peanuts. I think I made it at the time and it was yummy but I've since lost the link and can't really remember the other ingredients. Can anyone help? Thank you!

i am more than happy to have found a community like this one! vegan food is delicious but is expensive and very difficult to obtain in south florida.
i have been vegitarian for many years due to health paranoia. about a year ago, my sister bought me the skinny bitch series and it blew me away. i was concerned about it for awhile, but i didn't look into veganism enough because i knew how expensive the products could be. skinny bitch did not give the cheapest recipies at all!
i do have access to several farmers market. and have quite a great amount of produce in my yard (tomatoes,bananas,papayas,oranges,peppers) annually.as you can see its mostly fruits. good quality vegetables are like a thing of the past. any suggestions of veggies i can grow in south florida?

also, whats the secret to successful sunflowers?

Anyone have a recipe for rum cake?

When I returned from my cruise, one of the first things my daughter said to me was, "I'm really glad you're home, but I just wish you cooked as well as Dad!"Gee, thanks a lot. And huh???So I asked exactly what her dad had cooked while I was gone. "Mac and Cheeze, spaghetti, Chili Mac...." I immediately noticed a theme--no, not that he was mostly using my recipes but that he was cooking her

I'm absolutely in love with citrus and recently picked up some limes for jerk seitan. I was so excited about having these limes, that I went ahead and ate one raw (sans juice for the marinade). It made my mouth happy with its intense sourness, but my stomach was less than pleased. Let me get to my question:

Is there a way to prepare a lime that makes it a little more palatable but leaves it still as close to a fresh lime as possible?

I want to try and sugar it or soak it in something, but I have no idea where to start.

Thank you!

I hope you have an excellent day and don't have to study too much (I commiserate, I used to have finals on my birthday during college every year)!

Help me, lovely ladies and gentlemen of vegancooking--you're my only hope! ;D

This is my first Yule as a vegan (I went from vegetarian to vegan in April), and so far, it's been a marvelous, wonderful ride. This little blip doesn't necessarily make it any less marvelous or wonderful, but just a wee bit frustrating. ;D I've got lovely vegan recipes for sugar cookies and gingerbread, so I'm all set there...but my utter favorite cookie is peanut butter blossoms, and no matter how much Google-fu I use, I can't find a good vegan recipe for them. I suppose I could try and veganize the recipe myself (I've had good luck thus far, just using old family recipes and substituting this for that), but the part that's killing me is the chocolate blossoms! Traditionally, they're Hershey's kisses, which aren't vegan...what could I use as a substitute?

Any and all advice on this would make me ridiculously happy~ :) Thank you so much!!

( Recipe I'm trying to veganize below the cut! :D )

Does anybody here make their own soy milk? I'd rather do it old school rather than buy a fancy soy milk maker. I looked up some recipes, but they don't specify how much water I should be using. Maybe I have no search engine skills?

Anyway. I'd love some soy milk recipes, please! Thank you.

This is my favorite way to fuel up in the morning and I am very sad this drink is "seasonal"... Who else here is obsessed with this flavor? I know everyone where I live is because it disappeared fast! I was wondering if you guys who love this drink like me would contact Odwalla for me so hopefully we can get this beverage to be year-around and also suggest other soy protein flavors that would be awesome besides just vanilla and chocolate... I need your help!

Does anyone have experience making sewing patterns? I usually just wing it when I'm trying to sew something, and I've found patterns online a couple of times. But I want to make a small plush dolphin and I don't really know how to make it work. I tried making a 3 piece pattern with a bottom and two sides for the dolphin but they didn't fit together correctly when I tried to sew them and it looks like crap. I'd love some suggestions. Thanks!
