Can someone tell me if this dog food recipe is healthy and balanced?

I've researched everywhere on-line that I can think of and have avoided foods that are heavily disputed. Here goes:


1lb. ground sirloin, 90% lean;


4 eggs scrambled with the sirloin;


1 cup cooked brown rice;


1 cup plain fat-free yogurt;


1 cup fat-free cottage cheese;


1 can unsalted green beans, smashed;


2 carrots, grated;


1/2 cup extra virgin, first press olive oil.


This lasts 6 days for my 8-10 pound yorkie/poodle mix, at one to one and a half cups a day. I also give him one holistic dog biscuit a day specifically designed to clean his teeth and gums. Thanks for the input, I want to be sure I'm feeding him healthy and there is just so many contradictory advice.Can someone tell me if this dog food recipe is healthy and balanced?
sounds pretty good....where is the calcium though?..i use egg shells.





check out it has an egg shell recipe...





www.pet-grub.comCan someone tell me if this dog food recipe is healthy and balanced?
If you are going to spend the money to feed a homemade meal, Do some research into raw feeding and go raw. Your diet is lacking in several nutrients because A. It is cooked. B. It has no bone +no calcium, manganese and other nutrients.





Balance... It's just a word used by dog food companies to make people think they are to stupid to feed a dog on their own. Who eats a balanced diet at every meal? What species eats a balanced meal at every meal? Nature never intended every meal to be 'balanced' and WHO truly knows what a balanced meal is?


Balance happens over time. You don't sit at the table and calculate nutrients for your kids and shop accordingly, You go to the store and buy several meals to eat and balance happens over time. Surely it can not be more difficult then that to feed our MUCH more adaptable dogs!


It's an out right insult that these dog food companies make people think hey re incapable of feeding a dog.


Search out RAW feeding and consider it. It's cheaper, it's easier and you won't have to worry about balance if you feed a variety of raw meaty bones and organs from different animals. Add in an egg a week and some red fish and you got it right! Feeding a dog is EASY. Not a science.
This looks really good, do you cook the meat? That's the only thing I would question. I don't feed raw meat, there are just too many possible problems if the meat isn't cooked. I may have to try this recipe but I would mix some hard dog food with it so they have something for their teeth. I have 2 on special diets, 1 for joint problems %26amp; 1 for diabetes, so they need that diet as well. And regardless of what some people think, some dogs do need wet food to maintain their weight %26amp; coat or it wouldn't be made %26amp; sold.
I don't know how healthy it is, but I'll bet your dog loves it! The recipe I have calls for 2/3 protein, 1/3 veggies, mineral supplements, and brown rice, beans, or more veggies for carbs. I've never heard of putting in cottage cheese or yogurt, but seems like that might take the place of the minerals (calcium). The oil is good, since it's the kind that is heart healthy but even better is the Omega oil in fish like salmon. You can get that oil in gel capsules but it is really fishy smelling. I don't know if every dog likes that taste.





Good going. YOur dog is really lucky! I hope you can keep it up. I got tired of cooking it.





You might also do some research on the BARF diet. Stands for ';Bones and Raw Food';. This is a radical approach of feeding dogs the way their ancestors ate. You can read all about it on the internet.
No. Stick with a high quality kibble. Dogs don't need wet food.





Canidae, Wellness, Innova or Artemis make human grade dog kibble.





Are you really planning on preparing this concoction for your pet everyday for the rest of it's life? Come on now.. be realistic.

im trying to lose just a few pounds without completely limiting myself to what i eat. i just want to make myself eat a little healthier. so does anyone know any recipes that has good for you ingredients and arent full of fat. Also i DONT eat FISH! ive heard its good for you in many ways but i just cant eat it. however, crab, clams, shrimp, and other seafood i do eat. just no fish. thanksHealthy Food Recipes ?
Yes I will avoid a seafood recipe entirely.





1. Try a mexican burrito with vegetarian, non fat refried beans, low fat mexican cheese (shredded), nonfat or lowfat sour cream, lettuce, salsa, black olives and whatever other veggies you want.. all wrapped up in a whole wheat tortilla! Delcious!





2. Try something called quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) that you buy in a health food store. Boil it in double the liquid (i.e. 1/2 cup quinoa in 1 cup fluid).. and use vegetable base broth for the fluid or at least half. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and cover until quinoa absorbs liquid. (About 15 to 20 minutes). This is delicous, tastes sort of like rice, is 100% vegetarian and is a COMPLETE protein so that it does not require any other foods to make a complete amino acid. Wonderfully Easy.. VERYYYYY healthy. It's a whole grain, too!





3. Try this fruit salad. Fresh pears cut up into cubes, add a few walnuts for the good (saturated) fat boost, and sprinkle heavily with cinnamon. The cinnamon will flavor the pears and give your blood sugar regulation stability. Supurb and EXCELLENT for your body!





4. An Egg Omlette: 3 egg whites, and veggies cooked in 1 tbsp olive oil to your content. I add green peppers, mushrooms (buttons, shittakes, portabella are all great) onions, chille peppers if I want something warm, and then pour a little salsa on top. Wonderful.. filled with good nutrients, and avoiding the yolks to reduce cholesterol content. Very packed with antioxidants and minerals. Fabulous protein packed breakfast food! Fast to make!





5. Try this Italian treat! Buy 100% whole wheat spaghetti noodles, cook until tender, drain. Buy organic spaghetti sauce, lo fat if you find it, and add TONS of veggies... mushrooms, green peppers, scallions, garlic, zuchinni... and I let the sauce cook on low all day in the crock pot. Then, by the end of the day the sauce is sooooo aromatic and the flavors have completely blended. Serve over warmed whole wheat spaghetti (or other whole wheat pasta) and adorn with parmesan. Wholesome goodness. High in fiber!Healthy Food Recipes ?

I've only just started making food properly and I have no idea what I can make.





Could you please give me some easy to make dinners that are relatively healthy.





Thanks Healthy Food Recipes? ?
There are so many recipes, and I'm not sure what you like, but here are some of my favorites...





***Chicken Stir-Fry Wraps***





1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally and thinly sliced


Coarse salt and ground pepper


2 tablespoons olive oil


1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced


1 large red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, thinly sliced


3 cloves garlic, minced


1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger


1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes


3 tablespoons soy sauce


3 tablespoons rice vinegar


1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon water


12 to 16 Boston lettuce leaves (about 2 heads)


Directions


Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat. Add half the chicken; cook, stirring constantly, until opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.


Add remaining tablespoon oil to pan, along with the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until onion is tender and golden, about 4 minutes (reduce heat if browning too quickly).


Reduce heat to medium; add garlic, ginger, and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds.


Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and cornstarch mixture; remove from heat. Add chicken and any accumulated juices; toss to coat. Serve in lettuce cups.





***Black Bean Chili***





4 large poblano peppers


2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)


1 jalape帽o pepper, seeded and finely chopped


1 large onion, chopped


4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


2 cans black beans (15 ounces), drained of half their liquid


2 tablespoons chili powder (a large palmful)


2 teaspoons ground cumin (about half a palmful)


1/2 teaspoon allspice (eyeball it)


1 bottle dark lager beer, such as ***** Modelo


1 can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes (15 ounce can or half a 28o ounce can)


2 cups beef or vegetable stock (use vegetable to make it vegetarian)


Hot sauce, to taste


1/2 cup sour cream, for garnish


1/2 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish


PreparationHeat broiler to high.





Char the poblanos under the broiler so their skins blacken, 7-8 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand 10 minutes. Once the peppers have cooled enough to handle, peel and seed them, then roughly chop them up and set them aside.





Place a medium-size pot over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons EVOO, about two turns of the pan. Add the jalape帽o, onion and garlic to the pan, and cook 6-7 minutes, until the veggies are tender. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then add in the beer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook a few minutes to reduce the liquid by half, then add the black beans and their liquid, the chopped poblanos, spices, crushed tomatoes and stock. Bring up to a bubble, then reduce the heat and simmer to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper as needed.





Serve the chili up and pass around hot sauce, sour cream, and cilantro at the table to top it with.





***Zucchini Pasta with Grilled Fish***





Salt


1 pound spaghetti


1 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), plus more for drizzling


6 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped


1/3 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley leaves (a generous handful)


1/3 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves (a generous handful)


1 1/2 pounds small zucchini, sliced 1/2 inch thick


Pepper


1 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese


4 large fillets red snapper


4 cups baby arugula or baby spinach leaves


2 lemons, one half left whole for squeezing, one half cut into wedges


PreparationPre-heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the spaghetti and cook until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking water.





While the pasta is working, in a bowl, combine 1 cup EVOO, the garlic, parsley and mint. Spoon about one-third of the herb dressing into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, 8-10 minutes. Add the reserved pasta cooking water and the pasta; toss. Sprinkle in the cheese and toss. Keep warm.





Meanwhile, score the fish skin with a sharp knife in a crosshatch pattern. Season with salt and pepper; drizzle EVOO on both sides to coat. Grill the fish for 3 minutes on each side.





Divide the fish and arugula among plates. Squeeze the half lemon on top. Season the remaining herb dressing with salt and pepper; drizzle over the fish and greens. Serve with the pasta and lemon wedges.








* Your diet should include plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats. Some good choices are chicken breast, turkey breast, fish and shell fish, lean beef (sirloin, flank steak, london broil), and pork tenderloin. Always choose whole wheat or whole grain pasta and brown rice over white. use minimal amounts of fat, such as oil and butter when cooking.Healthy Food Recipes? ?

and one recipe....





Corned Beef and Cabbage with Red Potatoes





Ingredients:


1 pound lean beef round


1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste


1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste


1 Tbsp yellow mustard seed


1/2 tsp ground cinnamon


1/2 tsp ground ginger


1/2 tsp ground allspice


1/2 tsp black pepper


1/2 tsp coriander seed(s)


1/2 tsp ground cloves


2 piece bay leaf


8 small uncooked red potato(es), cut into 2-inch pieces


16 baby carrot(s)


1 medium head green cabbage, coarsely shredded





Instructions:


Coat beef all over with salt and pepper and place in a large stockpot; pour enough water over to cover. Add seasonings and bay leaves, stir to coat meat and set pot over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 40 minutes.





Add potatoes, carrots and cabbage and return to a boil. Increase heat to medium, partially cover pot and boil, until vegetables and beef are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain water from meat and vegetables, reserving 1 cup of liquid; discard bay leaves.





Slice meat crosswise into thin slices and serve with vegetables. Pour some reserved cooking liquid over each serving. Yields about 3 ounces of meat, 1 1/2 cups of vegetables and 1/4 cup of cooking liquid per serving.


Chef Tips


We renovated Corned Beef and Cabbage by:


Using lean beef round instead of fattier cuts of meat such as corned beef.





Seasoning the beef to add flavor and help tenderize it (leaner cuts of meat need extra tenderizing since they are missing the natural tenderizer of fat).





Adding extra vegetables for a nutrient and fiber boost.
I recommend Ann Louise Gittleman's books about nutrition. She not only tells you what's good to eat but does an excellent job of explaining why. She includes some recipes, but I just experiment with tastes in my kitchen. Since I love salads and hate cooking, I've come up with several dozen ways to make a tasty, filling salad based on what I've learned about foods from Gittleman's books.





Try her website for more info or go to a bookstore to browse her books. I've tried other books, but hers were the easiest, quickest reads with the most information packed inside.
