Peanut Butter Doggie cookies

Ok, this one isn't for people, but my doggie gives it top yum factors! I like to throw these together with cheap peanut butter for a treat for her once in a while. She drools everytime I get the peanut butter out!

Peanut Butter Cookies(Karen Norteman)
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. wheat germ
1 c. peanut butter
1 egg
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. water
1/2 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, wheat germ, and salt in large bowl then mix in peanut butter, egg, oil, and water. Roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface till about 1/2 inch thick...then cut out the biscuits using a cookie cutter -- but Mom uses a dog-bone cutter but any neat cutter will do (or make squares). Put the biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes for the smaller sized cookies and up to 35 minutes for larger shaped ones. Store in the fridge...if they last that long.

BBQ Onion Rings

These are a healthier yummy sub for those beer battered fried onion rings! I cut the recipe in half so there are fewer temptations to eat the whole batch!

BBQ Onion Rings

Regular yellow onions will work in this recipe, but sweet onions have a milder flavor. Coating the onion rings with breadcrumbs in batches keeps the crumbs dry for maximum crispness. Rotate pans during cooking for even browning.

6 servings (serving size: about 1/2 cup)
Ingredients
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 pound Vidalia or other sweet onions, cut into (1/4-inch-thick) slices and separated into rings (about 2 large)
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs, divided
Cooking spray
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Combine flour, sugar, chili powder, cumin, salt, paprika, allspice, and eggs in a large bowl. Dip onion rings in flour mixture. Place half of onion rings in a zip-top plastic bag; add 3/4 cup breadcrumbs, shaking bag to coat onion rings. Repeat procedure with remaining onion rings and remaining 3/4 cup breadcrumbs.
3. Arrange onion rings in a single layer on 2 baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat onion rings with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes. Rotate pans on racks; bake 5 minutes. Turn onion rings over; lightly coat with cooking spray and bake 5 minutes. Rotate pans and bake 5 minutes or until crisp. Serve immediately.
