Tired of baking for size-2 people who are still dieting? Giving gifts to those who have everything? And bringing holiday cheer to the un-cheerable?

Then stop!

And start baking some treats for the dog.

It is a sure-fire guarantee to get you in the holiday spirit. The dog loves you anyway and won’t mind any culinary imperfections. The house will have that wonderful fresh-baked smell. And you will have all kinds of clean-up help. (Don’t worry Mom, the bowl goes into the dishwasher to be sterilized — the dog is just the pre-rinse)

Here’s my favorite dog-cookie recipe.

And here’s a ton of other great recipes at one of my favorit cooking sites.

Bone appetit everyone!
