Then I use my tall blender and add frozen vegetables like: carrots, peas, squash etc. and some Kale or Collard Leaves, Dandelion root and all. (Wash it really well, use flower too and don't gather from where they spray) I add 1 apple 1 pear Or some other kind of fruit. Grind it all up and add it to the meat mixture. I usually add more meat broth as I need it. Then I add 1 cup wild rice or quoin or pasta and allow that to come to a boil and turn heat down and cook for about 30 mins. I also add Chia seeds about 1/2 cup or so. Sometimes I add green pepper to the mixture. I then let it cool. I have 3 Yorkies so I make a pretty big batch. I also add cottage cheese to their food in the evening or greek yogurt, I also give them 1/2 tsp. honey each day. I make pupcicles too: Greek Yogurt, ground blue berries frozen, and chia seeds and grind them up in my little blender and add to the greek yogurt. Put into ice cube trays and give them one every day or every other day. I change all my recopies off and on to give variety. I use Flax seed and oil, I use sesame oil, I use vegetable oil. My Yorkie's are Willie Bill, 13 years old and 10 1/2 lbs. 1/2 cup twice daily (Has allergies and heart problems, I cook mainly for him)and our Willow 10 years old, and 4 1/2 lbs. she gets 1/4 cup 2x"s daily and our little rescue 8 year old, 9 lbs. 1/2 cup 2X's daily. his name is Walley. I make my meat broth with pork, chicken or turkey bones my Willie Bill is allergic to Beef, eggs, lamb, potatoes white and sweet, tomatoes etc. So, I put my bones in a crock pot with 1=2 Tbs. Cider Vinegar and cover the bones with Spring Water. I cook for 24 hrs. but the last hr. or so I add a carrot, celery, parsley, thyme, rosemary out of my garden and let them cook. Then I turn off the heat and let it cool down, sometimes in my kitchen sink with a little water, then I strain it and put in ref. over night. Next day I skim off fat and then add 2 cups to sandwich freezer baggies and freeze. Hope someone trys it and their kids like it like mine do., I also give them supplement each day with their breakfast and fish 2X weekly. |
