Nutritious Teething Biscuits from Vicki Lansky's "Feed Me I'm Yours."

Ingredients:
1 beaten egg yolk
3 Tbsp maple syrup or molasses (May be omitted)
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 Tbsp oil
1/4 cup milk
1 Tbsp uncooked oatmeal
1 cup flour (white, wheat or combo)
1 Tbsp soy flour
1 Tbsp wheat germ
1 Tbsp nonfat dry milk.

Directions:
Blend wet ingredients, add dry ingredients. Dough will be stiff. Roll dough thin and cut into strips or desired shapes.

nutritional value. **Freezes Well**

1 tsp. salt (not necessary - omit if you choose)
3/4 cup oil
1 cup water

Mix all together, and roll out onto 2 cookie sheets. Sprinkle with salt. Lightly roll again to press salt in. Cut into squares or diamonds - a pizza cutter works well.

I made all of my ds's baby food and it was great! I have lots of recipies but I would have to say that my best tip would be the storage plan I had in place.
I would make the foods separately, put them in ice cube trays and freeze them. Then I would put the frozen cubes in ziplock baggies and label
them. It was great and stayed fresh for about 2 weeks!! The book "super baby food" is where I got all of my recipies and tips from, best $20 ever spent!!
