1 lb. baby carrots
water
3 eggs
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups rye flour
2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
Place carrots in pan, cover with water and boil until soft enough to puree in blender. Put carrots and enough water to blend to get 3 cups of carrot puree. Let cool.
Mix carrots, egg, garlic and olive oil. Add salt, flour and oatmeal.
Spoon by tablespoonful onto greased cookie sheet. Flatten to size you would like (can also cook as dough balls, but they take longer to bake). Bake at 300 for 30 minutes. Longer for crisper cookies (my lab is elderly so I made these slightly soft).
Yield: Approximately 80 cookies

Stuffed Mushrooms
8 oz container whole mushrooms
1 bunch green onions
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tsp Worchestershire Sauce
1/4 c bread crumbs
1/4 c parmesan cheese
Salt & Pepper
2 Tbsp water
Preheat oven to 350. Clean and stem mushrooms. Place mushroom caps in baking dish and lightly salt. Chop stems and green onions, saute in butter until soft. Add Worchestershire sauce, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt & pepper. Place small mounds of stuffing in mushroom caps. Add 2 Tbsp water to baking dish (I assume this is to keep them from drying out, it was in all the recipes I found). Bake for 20 minutes. Attempt to share with the others in your household. This part is difficult because these are so yummy.

2 tsp. oregano

Slurry of 2 Tbsp. flour and 2 Tbsp. warm water

Clean and rinse chicken. Place in slow cooker, add next 12 ingredients. Cook on Low 5-6 hours. When chicken is done, remove to a plate to shred tossing bones and skin. Strain juices in slow cooker into large pan. Carefully check solids for bones to remove, then add to the juices. Bring to a boil and thicken with slurry. When chicken is shredded you can add to the sauce or serve separately.* Serve over pasta with Parmesan cheese.
* I usually serve this as a layer of pasta, layer of chicken, layer of sauce, topped with cheese. Leftover chicken can be used in other dishes. Leftover sauce freezes well.
