****SATIN BALLS****
#10 of cheap hamburger meat
1 lg box of Total cereal
1 lg box of oatmeal (uncooked)
1 jar of wheat germ
10 eggs
1 1/4 c. veg oil
1 1/4 c. unflavored molasses
10 sm pks of unflavored gelatin
pinch of salt and garlic
Mix all ingredients together well, much like a meatloaf...put into separate freezer bags and freeze, thawing out as needed. I mixed it in with kibble, and the lady who gave me the recipe makes little meatballs and places it on top of their food (but I find the dog will pick this out and leave the food). It put weight on in a very short time not to mention the gloss in their coat.
****LIVER MUFFINS****
3 eggs
1 lb fresh raw liver
3 Tbsp molasses
Blend in food processor until liquid goo
2-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup rolled oats, wheat germ or bran
Mix together in bowl
Add wet to dry and mix
Bake in muffin cups for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees
****FROSTED PUPS****
There are two recipes here for frozen treats for our beloved canines. Try them both, and try them with the various additions also. Your canine babies will love you for them.
Put in your blender:
1 two lb. container of plain lowfat yogurt
3/4 cup water with a beef or chicken bullion cube dissolved
Thats it! Often I'll omit the bullion and add a banana. Pour in containers, cover with foil and freeze. The containers I use are the Frosty Paw plastic cups that I wash and re-use. They hold about 3 oz. If you don't have these, it's important to use something that the dog won't eat also. The point is to have the frozen treat licked out, and it should take some time!
Per batch: 3 big ones or 6 small
1 8oz. carton plain yogurt
1 ripe banana
1/4 cup water
Combine in a blender or food processor til smooth. Pour into ice cube trays sprayed with PAM (about 6), or into the tiney Dixie Cups (sprayed with PAM)--about 3 if cups filled about 2/3 full. Put in freezer & chill til hard... The texture isn't creamy as frosty paws (more like a popsicle, almost crunchy) but the dogs give them four paws up!
Variations:
1. Substitute plain yogurt for flavored
2. For Rocky Road add the crumbly/crunchy bits in the bottom of the Milk Bones box or any other odds/ends they enjoy.
****LIVER BROWNIES****
1 pound liver, pureed
1 cup flour
1 cup corn meal
cheese or garlic
Bake at 250 - 300 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes.
****HOME COOKING****
This is a bulk recipe for those with more than one dog who want to feed well balanced home cooked food .
Ingredients:
- - approx. 5 lbs of ground beef/turkey or chicken
- - 3/4 cup canola oil
- - 4-5 cloves garlic
- - 32 cups water
- - 8-10 cups processed veggies (various) (carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, bean sprouts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, red peppers, spinach, beets, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.)
WARNING: NO ONIONS (not good for dogs)
- - 2-3 cans kidney beans
- - 1/2 molassess (optional)
- - 42-45 oz oatmeal (quick cooking oats)
- - eggs can be added to boost protien
Method:
- - In a large 24qt pot brown ground meat,
- - add canola oil and garlic.
- - when well cooked, add water.
- - Bring to boil,
- - then add veggies that have been processed, (frozen or canned veggies will work too).
- - I use dried kidney beans and soak them the night before preparing a batch of food. While I am cooking the meat I have the beans in another pot cooking them. Once cooked, they are added to the above mixture.
- - Next, the oatmeal is added. Frequent stirring is necessary at this point as the mixture will stick. - - Remove from heat,
- - cool and put into containers.
The above mixture will feed three dogs the size of a German Shepherd for 1 week.
I occasionally add pumpernickell bread and some times substitue brown rice for some of the oatmeal.
This recipe is very flexible.
You can add a mixture called Healthy powder (recipe follows) to each meal.
If you feed twice daily, add 1 tsp of healthy powder to each meal for each dog.
