Posted on by | Leave a comment

Crust:

  • 1 whole organic cauliflower
  • 1/2 cup shredded organic mozzarella cheese
  • 4 tablespoons shredded organic parmesan cheese
  • 2 large organic eggs

Pizza Toppings:

  • Cooked organic chicken, cut into small cubes
  • Cooked organic broccoli
  • Organic pumpkin purée (100% pure pumpkin NOT pumpkin pie filling)

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spray a thin layer of non-stick spray to the parchment paper (I used organic coconut oil non-stick spray)
  • Use a food processor to finely ground or “rice” the cauliflower until you have 3 cups worth.
  • Cook the 3 cups of finely ground cauliflower until soft
  • Using cheesecloth to drain the cauliflower, removing as much as water as possible.
  • Transfer the drained cauliflower into a bowl and add 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 3 tablespoon of shredded parmesan cheese, and 2 large eggs. Mix all ingredients well.
  • Spread the cauliflower pizza dough onto the parchment paper and form a circle . Bake until golden
  • Once cauliflower pizza dough is finished baking, add all pizza toppings and bake for 3-5 mins or until cheese is melted.

I spread a layer of pumpkin on the crust first instead of tomato paste
Then I added cooked chicken and broccoli
Last, I topped the pizza with organic shredded mozzarella cheese before putting it back into the oven
  • Allow pizza to cool down and serve a piece to your dog!

This great dog treat recipe originally came from Dog Treat Kitchen. However, I altered the recipe a bit to fit Cello’s dietary needs.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups dry dog food, ground coarse using a food processor
  • 1/2 cup organic buckwheat flour
  • 1 lb. organic ground bison meat
  • 1/4 cup organic honey
  • 1/8 cup organic applesauce, unsweetened

 

Instructions:

  1. Cook the bison, breaking apart into very small pieces. (I boiled the bison, saving the broth for other future recipes).
  2. Pour the dog food into a food processor or blender and grind to a coarse flour.
  3. Whisk together the coarse dog food and buckwheat flour in a medium bowl.
  4. Stir together the meat, honey and applesauce in a separate small bowl.
  5. Stir the meat mixture into the dry mixture until combined.
  6. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Form into meatballs – vary the size, or keep them all uniform.
  8. Serve fresh, or place in your freezer until frozen, approximately 2 hours.

 

Storing – This treat needs to be kept in the refrigerator or freezer. Keep in the freezer for up to 4 months.
