Liver Bits

 1 lb. chicken liver
 1-cup graham cracker crumbs
 3 tablespoons molasses or honey
 ¼ cup parsley
Place all ingredients in the bowl of food processor. Process until smooth.
Pour into a microwaveable container, approximately 8" square or round.
Microwave on high until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
This takes 7 minutes in my microwave, but your mileage may vary.
 When cooked, turn out of pan immediately, allow the bottom to dry since it will be damp
from condensation, and cut into squares while still warm. Spread bits on a foil-lined cookie
sheet and bake at 200° for 1.5 hours. Freeze or refrigerate.

Another Liver Treat

3/4 lb. chicken gizzards
1 cup corn meal
1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1 tablespoons garlic powder
1/2 cup wheat germ and a handful of shredded up baby carrots. Mix the dry items in a big bowl. Liquefy (ha) the chicken gizzards and eggs in a food processor. Add a dab of water if necessary. In an electric chopper device: chop up the carrots
Add carrots to the dry; add some water to mix it together.
Add the gizzard/egg "liquid" (which is more of a paste)
Add enough water to mix this glop together - put on a pan, 12 x 18 (cookie sheet does fine)
Cook at 350 for 30 minutes. It turns out dry on the top, moist on the inside.

Cafe Corduroy Treats

1 pound of meat, veggies, tofu, fish-whatever is on sale-peanut butter, liver, etc.
6-8 cups of organic rolled oats, dry
1-3 cups of water-depends on the amount of rolled oats you use 3 eggs 2 tablespoons of garlic 1 pound of pureed mixed veggies- optional

Precook the meat, seems to holds it flavor, then puree it in a food processor. Mix the main ingredients, eggs, garlic and rolled oats together until they are well mixed.-- and then add the water. You want a goopy mess, let it sit for about 30 minutes until it's a harder mess. Then roll it out on the cookie sheets until it's about a half inch thick. Cut into squares and spread some of the left over dry oats on top to keep it from sticking to your rolling pin. Bake them for 30 minutes at 350 and then allow them to air dry overnight.

Tuna Training Treats
 

2 6 oz. cans of tuna in water, do not drain
2 eggs
1 to 1 1/2 c. flour (rice flour is best, but any kind will do)
1 Tbs. garlic powder
Parmesan cheese

Mash tuna and water in a bowl with a fork to get clumps out, then liquefy in blender or food processor. Add extra drops of water if needed to liquefy completely. Pour into bowl and add flour, eggs, and garlic powder: Consistency should be like cake mix. Spread into greased or sprayed pan.
I used a 9x9 pan. Sprinkle with lots of Parmesan cheese (a lot of this fell off). Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes: edges will pull away and texture will be like putty. Use a pizza cutter and slice into teeny squares. These freeze beautifully.
