Its a dogs life...

We said goodbye to a family member yesterday,this is Na-quoya. A beautiful old soul. 1995 -2010, born in the woods of the most beautiful place on earth Tofino, BC. Na-quoya was her own dog, never needed a collar or leash. She would wait faithfully for you no matter where you left her. 

Always there. Always in my heart.

 

This is a recipe for doggie biscotti, to celebrate her life, and for all the doggies that touch our lives. She was the best dog in the world and will be missed dearly. It is from the Rebar cookbook. This was my go to cookbook (pre-vegan), everything I have ever made from it turned out great,along with these dog cookies. I didn't always make them biscotti style. Sometimes I would roll out the dough and make cute cookie cutter shapes. You could change it up, veganize it. Using flax as egg replacer, maple syrup instead of honey. She loved her cookies!
