Ian also loves fresh string beans!! I'll give him about three or four of them for his afternoon snack/lunch. Also, I make his treats so I know exactly what he is eating, and I don't have to worry about China. The last treats that I made were wheat germ and pure pumpkin. That's it...only two ingredients. I mix them well, and bake until crunchy, about an hour on 320. Turn once after about 40 minutes, and leave in the oven (with the oven off) for another hour. I use a pizza stone to bake his. I also use a cookie press to make different designs/shapes.This treat guarantees a nice poop in the morning!
