Petco wrapping up season with Gingerbread Dog Chews

All year, our pup enjoys her little rawhide chews. Keeps her teeth clean and gives her something to do rather than watching what we are cooking.

In Petco last weekend, we saw they were discounting their holiday chews and toys. Right up front where these fun rawhide chews… Gingerbread Men!! They are actually pretty big, these would take our pup a long time to work through. The chews don’t go bad just because it isn’t the holiday season, that is only for us. For dogs, they just know it’s a treat year around.

Remember this post a month ago? (Where do you start when eating your Gingerbread Man Cookie) I wonder if this is the case with dogs eating their Gingerbread Men too. Ha!

Making your own White House Gingerbread House

This year’s house created by chef Bill Yosses is weighing in at 350 lbs. It is actually made from Gingerbread but is then covered with White Chocolate.

From the side, you can see the garden.

And, just for good reference, here is last year’s house. Bo the dog gets to be in with both year’s houses.

Now, the part where you make your own. The first step is to get your hands on Yosses’ recipe. Which, lucky for us this year, he has shared!

The basic ingredients are what you would expect:

8 oz (2 sticks) butter, soft
2 cups dark brown sugar
2 eggs, large
1 cup molasses
7 cups All Purpose flour
¼ tsp ginger ground
¼ tsp cinnamon, ground
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Lemon zest from 1 lemon
Orange zest from 1 orange

So we don’t get in trouble here for copying something provided by the White House, your next step will be to jump over to the Obama Food blog to get the order or mixing, etc…

If you have ever wondered about the history and facts of the White House yearly Gingerbread House, the same site has it all, starting with the Nixons.

Update: we were just told about a version of Bill Yosse’s Gingerbread cookies made with Splenda is also available.

Gingerbread Men Dog Treats, fun for the whole family

Anytime you have a Gingerbread Man cookie in hand, you will find your family pet is not far away. They can tell they are missing out on something since everyone smiles when eating their cookies, and the Gingerbread aroma is hard to miss.

Our dogs will now be able to join in on the fun with Pawsitively Gourmet Classic Gingerbread Man Cookies for Dogs. Available a convenient 32 ounce package. The treats look just like the ‘human’ version of a Gingerbread Man cookie, but made for your dog as a healthy treat. Well, healthier than sharing your frosted cookie. Looking at them though, it’s hard to tell the difference between your cookie and your dog’s version.
