I came up with this recipe that she, and my other dogs love.
After the food cools and I provide some at each meal, I like to add a teaspoon of Nancy's organic yogurt to help with the probiotic consumption. 

Ingredients:
8-10 oz of frozen green bean & carrot mix
8-10 oz. of frozen peas
1 - 2 medium sweat potatoes, cut into small pieces, skin on
1/2 - 3/4 cup brown rice
4-5 cups water
1/4-1/2 cup raw liver (frozen is fine)
4-5 lbs. of hamburger OR 3-5 pounds of chicken (I remove all skin & fat from chicken & broth)
Optional: ground turkey, other organ meats

Directions:
Instapot:
Add ingredient list in the order as I have listed above. Press pressure cooker and cook for 65 min.

On the stove:
Use a heavy pan with a lid (I like a ceramic coated cast iron pot). Add all ingredients and bring to boil. You may want to add an additional cup of water when cooking it on the stove top  Reduce heat to low and cook for 4-5 hours with lid on. When cooled, separate all bones and discard, but leave all of the rest. Shred chicken or crumble up hamburger with fingers and then lightly mash (or leave in chunks) all of the ingredients, including the meat together. 
Bag up into individual bags. For every 10 lbs of dog, feed 1.5 cups, 2 X a day (for smaller dogs). Also have available dry kibble so they always have plenty to eat. 
*It is important to make sure that your dog gets all minerals & vitamins that their body needs. I always make sure that dry kibble or canned dog food is an option.

  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour, or more, as needed
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with Pam.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat pumpkin puree, peanut butter and eggs on medium-high until well combined, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups flour at low speed, beating just until incorporated. Add an additional 1/4 cup flour at a time just until the dough is no longer sticky.
  3. Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Place into oven and bake until the edges are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.*
  5. Let cool completely.
