sounds yummy

[Moose&Mica]

This is a great recipe. I found it online a few years ago and made it for Moose's first birthday. It also does well made in a regular 8 inch round pan but you only bake it for about 30 minutes if you do that. I mixed low fat cream cheese and peanut butter together to make an "icing" rather than using the cottage cheese so that I could put little bone shaped cookies into it to look like candles. I have substituted apple sauce for the oil before and it still seems to turn out pretty good. The cake makes the entire kitchen smell wonderful...then you take a taste and, well....the dogs love it. :)

LIVER BROWNIES

Before making these be sure your dog does not have allergies to garlic, or you can cut back on the use of garlic!

2 lbs chicken livers
2 C corn meal
2 C wheat germ
2 eggs
2 1/2 tsp. granulated garlic (not salt)
1/2 C dried parsley
Liquefy livers in food processor, pour into mixing bowl and add other ingredients. Mix until smooth like a brownie batter. Spread on a cookie sheet (1/2 sheet cake size) (I use parchment paper to line the pan) until it's evenly spread about 1/3 inch thick. Bake at 350 F for about 35 minutes. When cool cut into squares, or whatever shapes you prefer. I keep them in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator.
