Healthy, Easy dog food and treat recipes?

Title says it all, really. I'd like to treat my dogs to something good (preferably without meat. My mother doesn't like the idea of 'wasting' meat on the dogs) And I'd like to make some easy homemade treats to help train them. Any ideas from anyone?Healthy, Easy dog food and treat recipes?
Beef heart. It is meat, however it is a very inexpensive meat, and not one that is typically eaten by humans (which should help with the waste issue). We get them from our local butcher for around $5.00 each, let them thaw out (they store the hearts frozen), put a lot of minced garlic and salt on them, and then cook 'em up like a roast. There is plenty of scent to attract the dog, good taste, and a great value for the money spent.Healthy, Easy dog food and treat recipes?
Dogs are carnivores. If your mom says you cant ';waste'; it on the dogs, then stick with a high quality dog food. If your mom becomes open to the idea of feeding meat, then go ahead with homemade recipes.





If you want to convince your mom feeding meat is a good idea, look at these sites and gather up the cost. Just to let you know, it is cheaper to feed a high quality kibble or a homemade raw diet, than low quality kibble.





Here is what I found out:





Lower quality food(eukanuba)- $44 dollars for 35lb bag bought every week and I fed 6 cups every day.





High quality food(Innova by natura pet)- $50dollars for a 33lb bag every two weeks and I fed 4 cups a day.





Over a course of a month:





The eukanuba would cost me $176 dollars.





The innova would cost me around $100.





(That is calculated for my great dane only.)





The lower quality you go, the more you have to feed to give the dog the nutrition it needs. If you really need to find a cheap way to feed your dog without sacrificing quality, feed raw.


It is the ultimate diet, yet the cheapest diet for dogs. A rule most raw feeders follow is to stay under 1 dollar a pound.





Dogs are supposed to have meat, bones, and organs, preferably fresh, wholesome, and unprocessed. This is why many feed a homemade raw diet.

www.rawmeatybones.com


www.rawlearning.com


http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/sa鈥?/a>


A raw diet is typically cheaper than kibble worth buying.


For a dog fed raw, it is typically 2 to 3 percent of the dogs ideal body weight. If the dog is a pup(under 18 months for most dogs) it can be around 10% of the dogs body weight. Most raw feeders start at one percentage and adjust it as needed.





This site can tell you some great info about dogs and their diets.


http://www.bigdogsporch.com/index.php





A raw diet is even better for dogs and saves you money.


A rule is to keep the meat under a dollar per pound.





I actually spend around $100 on 150lbs of meat and used to spend $200 a month on the innova for my three dogs. If you present a good strong presentation about your dogs diets to your mom in a respectful manner, she should listen, although she may need convincing from others experienced with feeding homemade diets.


www.bigdogsporch.com Here is a forum that can help you learn about homemade/raw feeding.





I would do your research, then present your findings to your mom. It my not convince her right away, but it should spark an interest.





Note: Do not ask a vet for nutritional information. Ask a canine nutritionist if you have questions about dogs diets. www.dogfoodguru.com is one I know of.

I need easy vacuum sealed food recipes for camping, any ideas?

We are camping with 13 people and I don't want to spend all day cooking. We have a vacuum sealer that we use for freezing, but thought maybe we could prepare meals, freeze and store...then boil (like they did on TV) but I have no food vision. What can I prepare ahead, freeze and boil? What can I just throw together in the bag, freeze and boil (not cooked before)? Spaghetti is all I can think of.


Please help.I need easy vacuum sealed food recipes for camping, any ideas?
this is a good idea that I have never heard of.. I don't have a vacuum sealer but maybe now I will look into it..





how about some chili beans? so you can put on top of some dogs or burgers?





mash potatoes


Rice








all I can think of is side dishes. sorry.I need easy vacuum sealed food recipes for camping, any ideas?
Pot roast in au jus, chicken and gravy, beef stew, lentils, beans, pork in bbq sauce, anything in a sauce should be good.
Stew and chili are 2 that come to mind.

Any ideas on quick and easy recipes (and cheap!) I hav no patience 4 cooking or faffy food!?

3 ingredients.... fat free chicken breasts, 1 can of Campbells condensed lowfat mushroom soup and rice. Cook the rice accordingly while the chicken bakes. Place the breasts on a pam-sprayed baking pan (loaf pans work nicely) and cover with the can of muchroom soup.... this may freak you out a little becuase hte soup is a little think before it cooks. do not add water. Make sure the chicken is covered and bake for 30 minutes. remove from the oven and serve chicken breast and sauce over rice. this is competely painless and kid friendly!Any ideas on quick and easy recipes (and cheap!)

Lentils Rice and Sausage: Sautee 1 pound of sausage, cut into coins--once sausage is browned, drain on paper towels. Heat 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil and sautee 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped red bell pepper until tender--throw the sausage back into the mix, add 1 can (15 oz?) chicken broth (preferably low salt); 1/2 cup lentils, and 1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Sometimes I add some spinach (fresh or frozen works) 15 minutes before it is done.
sauage and mash with baked beans!!!
OMG... I have loads... Well practised at living on a shoestring you see!!!





If you like pasta, just cook some pasta and in another saucepan cook some onions, peppers, garlic and either tinned chopped tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes. Once all heated and pasta cooked, pile tomatoes etc on top of pasta and grate cheese on the top.... Its lush!!! And you are getting some veg in!!! Takes about 15 mins... You can also put some bacon on top of the tomatoes and grate cheese over that if you like!!!





Or brown some cubed or sliced chicken in a frying pan, add peppers, onions, garlic and whatever else you want... Add a little bit of pasta sauce to mix it all together and serve on white rice...





Lastly (cause its nearly home time!!!) my personal favourite, two slices of ham, two fried eggs, some chips and peas for a good old ';makeshift dinner';!!! LOVELY!!!





Its amazing what great meals you can rustle up when you are using left over stuff from the cupboard and fridge!!! Just be adventurous!!!

I find woks brilliant for anything. Just take whatever you have in the fridge and wok it. It only takes a few minutes and then you can add a simple bought sauce. no fuss but really tasty.





GET A WOK. Oh and if you didn't know - the more burnt and crappy your wok is the better apparently.
try going to www.allreciepes.com ....its a great site !!!!

i like it with with gravy on and if you use brown rice its somewhat healthy to.
Cook some pasta, add 1 tin of mushroom or celery soup, 1 small tin of tuna or salmon and a tin of sweetcorn. (or if feeling energetic, cook some broccoli and add that) For a variation you could add a bit of grated cheese. Heat until hot, either in the microwave or on the stove. If you like salmon you could always go visit www.great-salmon-recipes.com, there's a few ideas on there.
Cook some pasta. Grill 2 turkey rashers then cut into strips. Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Stir in some soft cheese with garlic and herbs, the turkey rashers, some black pepper and some milk. Stir over a med heat until milk has reduced. Enjoy!!!! You can also add some sauteed onions and some sliced mushrooms if you're super-hungry.

well, this one is easy and really good. pound chicken breasts until they are tender and somewhat flattened. crush pretzels in a zip lock bag. coat the chicken in egg then coat with the pretzel. bake in an oven at 400 for maybe 20 to 25 minutes. meantime, melt cheddar and sharp cheeze together on the stove top with some milk. make sure it is thick cheese though. not watery. then just cut up some dill pickles and onions if you like it. when chicken is done, put a few spoonfuls of cheese on the chicken, sprinkle a little pickle on the chicken, and you're done.
