"Life loves the liver of it." -Maya Anjelou, Poet

The refrigerator light goes on...

So you think you don't like liver. You might be wrong. So many people have had liver that has been cooked until it is tough as shoe leather, and that brings out all the bitterness. This recipe is full of great flavor with onions, mushrooms and Cajun spice. It is quick and simple, tasty and great for you.
