If junk food is the devil, then a sweet orange is as scripture. ~Audrey Foris
Yesterday on Facebook I mentioned that I'd just made food for Dakota. I had a couple folks ask if they could have some, and I commented that DD had eaten some before I pureed it. Now I wonder if there are horrified people thinking I feed my daughter dog food! LOL...
Nope.
Here's what my Dd is eating lately (keep in mind this is for nearly 2 weeks of food):
SPOT'S STEW
17 lbs chicken (or other meat)
1 3/4 c fresh, chopped garlic
7 c peas
7 c carrots
3 1/2 c pumpkin or sweet potatoes
3 1/2 c squash
3 1/2 c green beans
3 1/2 c celery
7 T rosemary
water to cover
I actually cook the meat separately and don't puree it. Sounds pretty good, huh? Smells good, too, which is why DD usually can't keep from eating a little. In the book "The Whole Pet Diet", the author actually suggests that the animal and human have dinner together. Honestly, if I ate Spot's Stew every day, I'm certain I'd be a healthier person.
As a side note: I do add supplements to the finished product -- bone meal, an oil mixture and a canine multi-vitamin/multi-mineral I get from Halo Pets.
==========================
I bought some "ice cream" last week -- a name brand that is a fave in our house. When I got it home, and actually paid attention to the label, I discovered it was not "ice cream"... nope... it was "frozen dairy dessert".
Blech.
No more milk, sugar and flavoring for them... no way, no how. Now we have all kinds of odd things in there and, to be honest, it really put me off. DH is now eating the chocolate brownie frozen dairy dessert because I can't stand the idea of putting it in my mouth.
From now on, I'm sticking to Turkey Hill All Natural Ice Cream. Notice how it's actually called ICE CREAM?
Do you think my behavior is weird?
It reminds me a little of "cheese food".
It's frightening when you take the time to really pay attention to the labels, isn't it?

You are quite accepting of unusual ideas and people. You are a natural multitasker. You feel alive when you're doing more than one thing at a time. You can be a big dramatic and over the top sometimes. You are bold in every way |
Some of it yes... some of it no...

Dakota's stew does sound appetizing.
It is amazing how companies are misleading us because we don't pay attention to the little details. Someone mentioned to me about the half gallon not being a half gallon; the chocolate not being chocolate. Just amazing.

You tend to have a one track mind. You prefer not to multitask.

Have a good Friday.
I always read labels, and are often very surprised by what I learn. I'm one of those people who won't eat "cheese food"--I just can't do it.
Hope you have a great weekend. And I'm so thankful your mom is all right. Very upsetting, that whole incident.
I read labels all the time. It's scary some of the things they put into food these days. Garlic is okay for dogs? I know it's deadly for cats. I hope all the work you're putting into making her food is helping.

Ooh, creepy, that was pretty spot on. *G*
