15 Dollarweek Dog Food

TWINKLE'S DOG FOOD

Steps:

• Fry meat in a skillet until done.
• Steam rice and carrots and broccoli.
• In a food processor process rice ,broccoli and carrots until fine. Add the green beans to prossesor and chop fine. Add in a mixing bowl all ingredients meat, veggies and rice. Add a little juice from your green beans to soften mix. Scoop out in little containers to freeze. Will thaw in frig in about 24 hours. Serve the same amount that you would in dry food. I will sometimes scramble one egg for 40 seconds in the microwave to add to one feeding. For variety you could use chicken and lowfat cottage cheese 2 tbs per serving. I add rosemary and baby food to browned meat to make a gravy.This recipe lasts about a week for two small dogs 11 and 6 lbs. You may adjust amounts depending on the size of your baby. Stay away from onions, garlic , grapes, raisins and nutmeg. These items are harmful to dogs. This recipe has been changed to suit Twinkle's tatebuds. Rosemary, baby food and broccoli were added after the first two reviews. She can't get enough and she still remains svelte.

DRY DOG FOOD

Steps:

• Blend thoroughly and add enough plain flour to make the mix 'rollable'. Press into scone trays or similar, score the top with a knife into the size pieces you want (little pieces for small dogs, larger for your big guys) and bake in a slow oven until the biscuit is quite dry. I find the dogs just love them, they contain all the goodies they need and are also very handy for traveling. I actually add a few capsules of fish oil and empty capsules of glucosamine into my mix as my husky has arthritis in his knees.It helps her tremendously. Just break up the pieces when cooked and cool and store in airtight containers. Get a few trays done and freeze some also.

15 DOLLAR/WEEK DOG FOOD

Steps:

• Cook the beans and the rice until they are nice and soft. For this step, I usually use a slowcooker-add beans, rice, and enough water to cook(this filled up mine completely, so I really didn't bother to measure.) No soaking necessary, just let them cook for about 4-5 hours.
• Mince chicken gizzards. Again, gadgets make life easy here-I recommend a food processor.
• Pour soybean oil into a very large stockpan. Add gizzards and turkey. Simmer until meat is cooked.
• Add lentils, oats, approximately 4 cups water(I eyeball this also), and simmer until lentils are soft, about 15 minutes.
• Add everything else, simmer til veggies are heated through.
• Mix beans and rice with meat and vegetable mixture, put in large container to go in fridge or divide into smaller portions and freeze some for later.
