My Evolution straight through development wholesome Homemade Dog Food

I have always been carefully a health nut. And though not the popular understanding in the medical commerce I began my work in, it has always been coarse sense to me that cusine had to be taken into catalogue when inspecting health and disease. But it was not and that was just one of the things so frustrating to me about the medical industry.

Because of my strong understanding with regard to cusine when I had my children, I followed what I observed in nature which always provides exactly what is needed with out help from mankind. Thus mother's milk is the certain answer. Animals do what is natural which works out quite well. When the babies were ready for solid food I blended fruits and vegetables, many from our own organery so I could ensure there were no pesticides but also to save money. And I began introducing foods slowly.

I felt my dogs deserved nothing less and in 1974 researched what historically dogs thrived on. There was not a lot of information available. Yes, kids there was no computer or internet. So I combined facts with instincts. I began with chicken, grilled, roasted or boiled. Then I gently added steamed vegetables and some grains. And then monitored Bms carefully. If I noticed an unwanted reaction I backed off of that new ingredient.




Initially chicken was the only ingredient and then slowly, very gently I added one ingredient at a time. Once I carefully what they tolerated and thrived on and you know how much they should eat, you have your diet for that dog. I learned the hard way what was too much because some if not most dogs will overeat and dog lovers know what happens when they overeat.

At that time, I no ifs ands or buts didn't know if dogs should have grains or vegetables but I focused on high complicated carbohydrates. And then found that I could add vitamins and minerals by adding fruits/berries and blend them into the vegetables and grains. You know when your dog loves a recipe so you learn their favorites quite easily. I have always had more than one dog and I might have one dog that loves a recipe and 3 that hate it. But I just right down on the recipe Chienee's favorite, Suede hates this one to keep it straight. And then the final test was to see if it was well tolerated by each dog.

As puppies its a constant turn but you get to the point when they are 2 years old and their appetite and needs level out and you have the whole each dog should eat and which recipes each dog loves.

So here are a few recipes that are favorites of my dogs Suede, 17 year old male German Shepherd from my rescue, Coco, 8 year old female, sable Pomeranian, Laci 3 year old female, white Pomeranian and Kashmir, a 2 year old male, white Pomeranian.

Mixing wholesome Vegetables for Healthier Snacks

I will give you some tips in order make a wholesome foods for snacking, lunch or dinner. You don't have to avoid or stop eating your favourite, I only make it more wholesome by add some vegetables on it. Do not think that this will be very annoying that you must cook twice, after the main menu then you put in order the vegetables. This is quite easy because instead of cooking a cut off side dish of vegetables, you can look for ways to add vegetables to other foods, mixing it in. Just about every dish can be served with some fruit or vegetable added. Here are some examples:

• Chicken breast: Top with quickly sautéed mushrooms and tomatoes.

• Macaroni and cheese: Mix in green peas or chopped bell peppers.




• Meatloaf: Add shredded carrots or chopped tomatoes.

• Bean burrito: Add chopped bell peppers or broccoli and canned corn, top with tomato salsa.

• Spaghetti: Add chopped bell peppers, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, or any other veggie to the sauce.

• Baked dishes and casseroles: Top with shredded zucchini or carrots for added texture.

• Peanut butter and jelly sandwich: Add sliced bananas.

• Scrambled eggs: Add diced vegetables or spinach.

• Macaroni, potato, chicken, or tuna salad: Defrost and mix in a container of freezing mixed vegetables, or add fresh diced celery and carrots.

• Rice or other grain side dish: Add diced vegetables or mushrooms, mix in a can of diced tomatoes, or for a sweeter alternative add raisins and canned mandarin orange slices or chunks of sweet potato or butternut squash (available freezing and precut).

• Soups and chili: Homemade soups and chili are easy to make, and can be a flavorful way to introduce new kinds of vegetables. Nutritious green vegetables like kale mellow in flavor in soups, and the spices in chili add zest to zucchini, squash, peppers, okra, and cauliflower.

• Oatmeal or other hot cereal:Add raisins or dried apricots, blueberries, canned fruit, unsweetened applesauce, banana slices, apple chunks, or sliced strawberries.

• Sandwiches: always add vegetables to meat or cheese sandwiches; if lettuce and tomato gets boring, try sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots, spinach,cabbage, mushrooms, zucchini, or red onion.

• freezing yogurt, ice cream, and other desserts: If you serve desserts, always look for a way to add fruit to something kids will want to eat anyway: pineapple chunks, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, and mangoes are great toppings for freezing desserts or cakes. Or better yet, skip the ice cream and make a fruit smoothie with freezing fruit pieces blended with orange juice or milk.

Spice It Up

You don't have to drown vegetables and fruits in sugar, salt, or fat to make them palatable. A better alternative is to be creative with flavorings and make liberal use of spices. Try sprinkling cinnamon and nutmeg on sweet potatoes, butternut squash,or sliced warm fruit. Add garlic or lemon juice to vegetables, and use curry powder, chili powder, or cumin to make sautéed vegetables and meats more flavorful. easy additions, like chopped nuts, raisins, chives, herbs, or cheese can dress up a bland vegetable dish.

Borrowing from dissimilar cultures is also one of the best ways to invigorate a bland or monotonous menu. The same vegetables are completely transformed when steeped in an Indian or Thai curry, sautéed in a Chinese sauce, mixed into a Mexican dish, added to a Mediterranean salad, or simmered in a West African stew. With multicultural recipes well available in bookstores and on the Internet, we have the world at our fingertips. Anything your cultural background, borrowing ideas from other citizen and places will increase the variety of your meals and also expose your child to a wider scope of tastes.
