Liver Biscuits for the dog in your life

1 pound of raw beef liver
1 cup white or yellow corn meal

Put liver in blender or food processor (with fresh garlic, if used) and
blend until liquefied. Mix with dry ingredients. Spread on greased cookie

Crunchy Wheat Treats




2 1/2C all purpose flour
2C whole wheat flour
1C rolled oats
1/2C wheat germ (I use honey nut wheat germ)
1/2C corn meal
14 1/2oz can beef or chicken broth (or make your own)
1/2C non-fat dry milk
1 tsp salt
1 pkg dry yeast
1/4C warm water
1 Tblsp milk
1 beaten egg



Dissolve yeast in 1/4C warm water and let proof. Warm the broth to about 110°. In large bowl, mix 2 flours, oats, wheat germ, corn meal, dry milk and salt. Stir in broth and yeast mixture. Knead by hand for at least 3 minutes. Don't skimp on the kneading time! Roll into a 1/2" thick sheet and cut with cookie cutter, or roll into a log shape and slice to desired size. Mix the egg and milk and brush on before baking. Bake at 300° for about 40 minutes ( a little longer if they're big). Turn off oven and leave in overnight. (the longer you leave them in the warm oven, the crunchier they get.) Haven't met a dog in the park yet who doesn't love these all natural healthy treats!

Doggy Biscuits

Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat it to 250 degrees F.

Place Doggy Biscuits mix ingredients in a medium size bowl. Add 1 large egg, 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 to 1/2 cup (or more) hot chicken broth, beef broth or very hot water. Make a dough that is very heavy, but not sticky. Add more flour or water, 1 teaspoon at a time if dough is too moist (use flour) or too dry (use hot water). Turn out dough onto a floured pastry cloth and knead 8 to 10 times until elastic. Let dough rest for 5 minutes.

Roll out dough 1/2 of an inch thick and cut with a dog-bone shaped cutter. Place cookies close together as they will not spread. Bake for 1 hour.

Rotate the baking trays in the oven (turn tray around 180 degrees F), and bake them another half hour. Cool the cookies in the pan for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire cake rack to cool completely.
