The weather here in Connecticut has been so mild, I’ve hardly thought about making pots of warm, cozy soup. It’s late into the second week of November, temps have been consistently in the mid -sixties with cloudless blue skies.

They are so sweet and fun to have in our lives! Here is a recipe for dog treats they gobble up every time I make them.
