I don't have anyone else to cook for right now so I've started making homemade dogfood. I start with a cup of 'Par Boiled Rice' which is dirt cheap and has 80% of the nutrients as brown rice, add a hamburger, or a fish fillet, or a bag of giblets from a chicken. If I have a few bones leftover I'll boil them with the rice but remove before serving. when the rice and meat are cooked, I add a handful of rolled oats, a raw egg, a can of mixed vegetables blended into a puree, and a good dollop of cottage cheese, sour cream or plain yogurt. Other ingredients would be brewers yeast, peanut butter, bone meal, fish oil or a vitamin supplement. This makes a pretty hefty pot of gourmet dogfood which I store in a tupperware in the fridge. Twice a day he gets a cup or so of this with an equal amount of commercial kibbles just to cover any nutrients I might miss. Roscoe's bowl gets licked clear across the kitchen!
