I had to keep going to Susan Garrett's blog to find these so I copied them all and now can find them.

Sardine Snacks
Put into a Blender
3 raw eggs
1 can of sardines packed in olive oil
1 package (an inside sleeve not the entire box) of graham crackers
Mix until liquidy then pour onto a cookie sheet and spread out. Back at 350 F for approximately 20 minutes until it looks rubbery and light brown on top. Let cool then cut. Have at ‘em, Feature loves them and I think they are terrific.

Baby Food
One of my students came up with this receipe:
1 jar of baby food (chicken, ham, banana-strawberry, whatever)
1/4 cup skim milk powder
1/4 cup cream of wheat (plus a bit more to thicken if necessary)
Mix ingredients, should be kinda like cake batter consistancy, spread on to cookie sheet very thin, bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes.
She’s been bringing all kinds of flavors to class and every dog seems to love them!



Sunshine Liver Brownies
I have never seen a dog that did not adore these sunshine liver brownies:
• 3 to 3 1/2 lbs of liver, beef or chicken
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 4.25 oz jar fresh minced or crushed garlic
• 2 cups white flour
• 1/2 cup 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 and garlic 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. Bake them for about 30 min for one pan and then turn the oven off and let the pan cool inside. Cut the brownies and freeze. They last for months in the freezer and this recipe makes a large amount.



Oatmeal and Banana
1 small jar of applesauce
2-3 crushed bananas
( during blueberry season I add blueberries and a little more oatmeal
1/2 envelope of gelatin
add oatmeal to make brownie like batter( about 2.5 cups) pour into baking pan
bake 325 for about 25-30 minutes


Meatballs
8 oz of any kind of meat canned or cooked( if using turkey, chicken, hamburger, pork or fish I use a food processor to shred it).
2 eggs
about 1 cup of potato flour
about 1 cup of oatmeal
1 T of olive or canola oil
a couple of shakes of garlic powder with parsley)
1 envelop of gelatin
Mix and pour into baking cookie sheet
Bake 325 for 25-30 minutes..
Homemade meatballs ( for special training)
Mix 1-2 eggs, 1 cup of oatmeal and a few shakes of garlic powder mixed with parsley into about 1 lb of ground turkey, pork, or beef.
make little balls and cook on stove top until meat is done.
I double and triple the recipes and put in the freezer until ready to use.
Happy baking

Crunchy Treats
These are more crunchie but can be cut into shapes and are really neat as just a reward here and there. They look quite cool since the parsley is baked in little splotches here and there.
-6 oz of canned salmon
-3 eggs
-2 cups of rice flour
-½ cup of fresh parsley (1/4 if dried)
-roll the dough to ¼ inch
-bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes
KEEP REFRIGERATED

Tuna & Cheese
Another recipe
Have yet to try these but a good friend on facebook let me have this recipe and swears that her dogs can’t get enough of it. I imagine they are similar to the tuna fudge.
-1 large can tuna
-2 cups flour
-1 cup whole wheat flour
-1 cup corn meal
-2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
-2 tablespoons parsley flakes
-2 teaspoons canola oil
-1 cup water
-puree the tuna and oil together until smooth
-mix with other ingrediants in large bowl
-add water last, a little at a time and mix until dough is formed
-Roll out and cut with any shape cookie cutter
-bake at about 325 degrees for about an hour or until fingernail won’t easily penatrate
KEEP REFRIGERATED


Beef Heart Cookies
Cook a beef heart sprinked with garlic powder in the crockpot over night, add 1 to 2 cups water depending on size of heart – blend/process it with the resulting juices. Add a half dozen eggs and some parsley, spread it thin on a large cookie sheet (sprayed with Pam and then lined with parchment paper)Bake at 350 until dry (about 35 – 40 mins). Turn off oven and leave for about 30 minutes. The dogs love it (why I can’t imagine as it tastes a lot like cardboard). No mess or grease on the hands. I never met a dog who didn’t love these!!

A beefheart recipe that is widely used in these parts is:
Beef heart – slice and boil with a whole bunch of garlic and drain.
Cut up into 1 inch size chunks, put on foil lined baking sheet, now put slices of bacon overtop and bake at 350 for 5 min. toss around, more baking, toss…ummmm yummy or what..and the bacon goes nice and crispy and can be used for an extra special treat…I just do a whole bunch at once and then freeze till needed..

Slice beef heart and bake on parchment paper lined cookie sheet at 350 for 20-30 minutes. Cool and cut in cubes. I freeze it in small bags and bring it out for training. My dogs go nuts for this.
They also love roast chicken hearts. I get each by the pound at the local Asian market in large quantities for less money than the smaller amounts at my grocery store.

Dried cooked liver slices
As soon as porc liver is on sale here (living in France) I buy lots. Preparing takes time but you can prepare a lot and keep in dry place in paper bag. put slices in your coat pocket on walks, during training or whenever you want. You can easily break off small pieces or for jackpot giving a whole slice. Kind of smelly to prepare.
- Cook in water (about 30 minutes for 1 kg of liver)
- Slice cooked liver in very thin slices (as thin as you can)
- Put slices on baking sheet with baking paper or paper towels.
- Dry in the oven (with door open) at about 130 to 150 F until slices are hard and dried (about 3 hours).
- Store in paper bag in dry area. Will keep for months.
