No Valentine this year? Fear not! Your fur ball will be more than happy to spend this Hallmark holiday with you! Channel your Valentine's Day energy (or angst!) into a super special day for your canine companion.I found a great recipe for a gourmet "Doggie Dinner" sure to make your pooch feel and taste your undying affection. ♥

Australian Shepherd's Pie:
   

    * 8 oz beef broth
    * 10 oz beef trimmings
    * 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
    * 8 oz dog kibble
    * 4 oz mild cheese
    * cooked bacon


Grease an 8 x 8 pan and spread half the beef in it. Sprinkle the beef generously with whole wheat flour. Spread remaining half of meat into pan. Sprinkle again with whole wheat flour. Cover with dog kibbles and pour broth over. Bake at 325F for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese (and bacon if you're really feeling festive) immediately after removing from oven and then allow to cool. Feed warm.

Recipe could also be made in muffin pans for portions throughout the week. Bake for 35min at 325F.

BONE appetit!
