Bonnie's Sunshine Liver Brownies
Contributed by Rosa Kiana Rossi
The recipe makes a lot of brownies so keep any leftovers (should
there be any) in the freezer because they spoil real easy.
- 3 to 3 1/2 lbs of liver, beef or chicken
- 1 C whole wheat flour
- 2 C white flour
- 1/2 C corn meal
- 1 med shaker of grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover cookie sheet with foil,
coat with cooking spray, sprinkle lightly with corn meal and set
aside. Process liver in food processor or blender
until it looks like milk chocolate. Pour into large mixing bowl
and blend in the rest of the ingredients. Spread evenly onto
cookie sheet (the mixture will be thick) and sprinkle lightly
with corn meal. Bake until no pink is left. I usually bake them
for about 30 min for one pan and then turn the oven off but leave
the brownies inside until they are cool. Cut in pieces and be
ready to be loved by your dog(s). I have yet to meet a dog that
doesn't like SLBs and I think that this is about the greatest
bait on earth... Enjoy!!!

Vegetarian Dog Biscuits
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup dry milk powder
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tbs. brown sugar
- 2 vegetable bouillon cubes; dissolved in
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup carrots (optional)
- 1 egg
Preheat oven to 300F. Mix all ingredients into a ball and roll
out to about 1/4" thick. Cut with bone-shaped cookie cutter,
or strips, or a cutter shape of your own choice. Place on
ungreased cookie sheet and bake 30 minutes at 300F.
Put these ingredients into a food processer, mix
VERY WELL. Pour potato flour through the opening while the motor is
running. I can't tell you exactly how much, but I would guess about 2-3
cups. When the dough forms, like a pie curst, and rolls into a ball it
is ready to take out.
Dump this mess onto potato floured counter or
board. Knead more flour into this and when it is a rolled out cookie
consistancy, it is ready to roll out into about 14 inch thick. I use a
pizza cutter to roll our long strips and then cut crosswise to make
samll squares . If you want FANCY you may use a cookie cutter. Bake on
cookie sheets, sprayed Pam or line the sheet with parchemnt paper. I
put in as many as will fit. Usually two whole cookie sheets suffices. I
bake this in a 375º oven for 20 min. Turn and rotate the cookie
sheets and bake about 10 more minutes. You can make them as soft or as
hard as you want. From Ruthie on the B.A.R.F. list.
