Dog-friendly coffee house

Leroy, the Big Pup (2004), by Seattle artist Scott Fife, is a symbol of the Tacoma Art Museum’s commitment to Northwest artists (the museum also boasts the largest public collection of glass art by Dale Chihuly). Leroy’s presence as a centerpiece in the museum’s lobby has inspired, engaged and captured visitors’ hearts and imaginations, becoming the museum’s unofficial mascot. tacomaartmuseum.org

Preheat oven to 350.Grease cake or muffin tins. Puree the chicken breasts in a food processor until minced. Add eggs and oil; pulse lightly until combined. Combine oat flour and baking powder; add to chicken mixture and pulse until combined. Add parsley and carrot and pulse until thoroughly distributed. Pour mixture into cake or muffin tin(s). Cake(s) will raise slightly, so don’t overfill the muffin tins too much. Bake about 30 minutes for muffins, about 45 minutes for one large cake—or until a thermometer reads 180 degrees. Cool completely. To frost, whip pre-whipped cream cheese with a few tablespoons of unsalted chicken broth. Spread liberally onto cake(s).
