Hi Yoyo,

Here's MY FAVORITE RECIPE:

8 C. BROWN RICE
1 C. PASTA
25 C. WATER
2-3 LBS. FROZEN MEAT (BEEF, LAMB, OR CHICKEN)
2 CUPS VEGGIES (PEAS, CARROTS, SQUASH, BROCCOLI, CELERY, APPLES, BLUEBERRIES)
1 C. OATMEAL
1/2 C. CANOLA OIL
1/2 C. BUTTERMILK POWDER
3 EGGS
1/4 C. HEALTH SUPPLEMENT (RECIPE BELOW)

USING A LARGE DUTCH OVEN; BRING WATER WITH FROZEN MEAT TO A BOIL, ADD BROWN RICE LET SIMMER 25 MIN'S. REMOVE MEAT, COOL AND CHOP FINE; I USE MY BLENDER AND PULSE UNTIL MEAT IS CONSISTENCY OF BABY FOOD. RETURN MEAT TO POT, AT THIS TIME ADD TOTAL REMINING INGREDIENTS, EXCEPT THE HEALTH FOOD SUPPLEMENT. COOK JUST UNTIL PASTA IS DONE. I ALSO USE MY EGGS WITH THE SHELL AND ALL, I JUST PUT THEM IN THE BLENDER AND BLEND UNTIL FROTHY BEFORE ADDING TO THE POT.

ALLOW TO COOL A LITTLE WHILE, STIR IN HEALTH FOOD SUPPLEMENT AND MIX WELL. THEN PUT INTO FREEZER CONTAINERS AND FREEZE.

***NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT***
(THESE INGREDIENTS CAN BE FOUND AT A HEALTH FOOD STORE)

2 C. NUTRITIONAL YEAST (***NOT FLEISHMAN'S BAKING TYPE***)
1 C. SOY LECITIN GRANULES
1/4 C. HUMAN GRADE BONE MEAL
1/4 C. DRIED KELP
1/4 C. DRIED PARSLEY
1/4 C. FLAX SEED

MIX TOGETHER ALL INGREDIENTS AND KEEP STORED IN A COVERED CONTAINER IN THE REFRIGERATOR. ADD 1/4 C. TO EVERY BATCH OF DOG FOOD YOU MAKE.

FEED 1 CUP PER EVERY 10 LB BODY WEIGHT A DAY.

DO NOT FEED ONION, GARLIC, CHOCOLATE, AVACADO'S OR SUGAR TO DOGS

I Also Agree With Kyh That You Do An In-depth On-line Search To Study Up On The Subject As Much As Possible. I Don't Have A Cat And So I Only Know About The Dog Food, I Do Know That Cats Require More Protein In Their Diet Than Dogs.
I Use The Egg Shell Because It Adds Calcium And I Omit The Buttermilk Sometimes, And Sometimes I Even Omit The Supplement. But Mostly I Follow Recipe As Closely As Possible. One Time I Forgot The Eggs And My "little Man" Really Let Me Know About That Flub-up! He Just Nibbled Until I Added A Little Scrambled Egg To His Food, Then He Was A Happy Chow-hound And Gobbled It Up.

Let Me Know If You Decide To Go This Route And What You Think. Believe Me It Gets Easier With Each Time You Make It!

I Use Whatever Extra Vegetables I Need To Use Up, Like After Christmas They Had Sweet Potatoes At 10 Cents A Pound I Scarfed Up On Them At That Price, And The Entire Family Even "little Man" Got To Enjoy! Extra Celery, Pumpkin From Our Halloween Jack-o-lantern (we Don't Carve It We Paint It) Gets Baked And The Pulp Mashed And Frozen For Pies, And I Even Use It For His Dogfood! Be Creative, But Be Cautious Not To Add Anything Potentially Unhealthy Or Harmful For Your Pet. That Is Why I Recommend You Study Up!
