Good for you for embarking on the real food bandwagon!

I home cook as well. I think you should consider giving meat every day, unless you're planning something else for a protein? The MAIN portion of a dog's diet should be protein - grains are just filler and not needed, veggies are okay - but debatable. It looks like you're using a LOT of veggies, which could be quite hard for them to digest. Then you add in the beans - and it might be quite a gas-producing combo there. I would add veggies in slowly, even one at time, pulverized is best. IF you steam them, you'd need to add the lost nutrients back in, if you feed them raw and pulverize, then you keep the nutrients.

You must supplement w/ calcium - I use Solid Gold's Bone Meal. You also want a multi vit/mineral, digestive enzymes, EFAs, and probioitics. I use this one: http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/produc...at/999065.aspx
