ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI....

.....all covered with cheese.

I lost my poor meatball 

when somebody sneezed.

We think you've got

to be fairly old 

to remember that little ditty.

But you know our Mom- 

she's older than dirt!!

 Yesterday,

Lilly and Edward

made a comment 

about our meatballs.

We wanted to tell you

a little bit about our

"semi-raw" diet.

Bonnie needed to put

on a bit of weight

and it was plain that

she just wasn't eating enough.

She would leave half

of her food!!  

Since she's on this - 

she doesn't leave any now.

Mom did a lot of research

before she came up with this

and we love it!!

This recipe makes enough 

to feed one dog for 

approximately two weeks

or four dogs

for approximately four days.  

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ground beef or ground meat (lean)

1 ½ pounds kibble or 3 cups Total Cereal

24 ounce package of cottage cheese

2 cups of rice cook it and cool it

½ dozen boiled eggs with shell

1 16 ounce package of cauliflower, broccoli and carrots

or fresh equivalent

1 small sweet potato

½ cup coconut oil.

Directions

Cook the rice and cool.  

Mom puts the coconut oil

into the hot rice

so it gets melted through.

Boil the eggs and let cool cool.

Grind up kibble in food processor.

Grind up frozen vegetables, 
sweet potato and eggs 

in food processor.

Mix everything together - 

it's easiest if you mix one food

into the next instead of trying to

mix it all at once.

Then make into meatballs.  

Mom uses a tablespoon cookie scoop to measure 

with and then she rolls them between her palms

to make them firmer.

We wait on the floor

at her feet

to clean up if she drops anything.

Freeze.

Thaw the day before using.  

We get four or five meatballs 

twice a day on a bed of kibble 
(about 1/8 cup kibble) 

 This is what it looks like

once it's mixed up.

At the end,

Mom puts on gloves

and gets in there 

with her hands to mix it.

 Here's where she's measured

out the meatballs with the scoop.

And the finished product -

waiting for us to gobble it up.

Poor Ivy doesn't get this

except for a treat!!

We don't know how much

it would take to feed her!!

Bon Appetit!!

XOXO
