Busy work with food all morning!

I cut a natural chicken up into pieces to freeze for later use as chicken
cacciatore for one day next week. Made soup or broth from the back, neck
and scraps. Kitties got the liver, which they love.

Cooked up several pounds of ground turkey meat for my dogs. I started
feeding them meat meant for humans when the Chinese dog food adulteration
scandal came up. It actually ends up being cheaper than cans per serving,
and they end up getting more real meat than what comes in the can. We mix
it with their kibble every day. They are nice and healthy since we do
this. Shiny fur and bright eyes. Better than canned for sure!

Froze up a few plastic bags of ground turkey for us to use. Couple of
meals there for the future too.

When I shopped at Sam's club yesterday morning, I found a marked down
package of stew beef that was a deal too good to pass by. This morning I
browned the whole bunch in a bit of olive oil, then put it in a pot to
simmer with wine, tomatoes, onion and green pepper, bay leaf, salt and
pepper, (both black and red). When it is cooked nice and tender I will put
it away in the freezer, in its nice broth.

I then will have the choice of using it as goulash, or add vegetables to it
and make it stew. I think I will get about two good sized containers of
cooked beef, ready to eat when we are ready for it.

Huh! That's a good idea. Must do that next time!

Your dogfood story reminds me of the time the minister came to call,
when my Mum was cooking the dog food up. He sniffed, and followed the
smell right in to the kitchen, where he grabbed a spoon and tasted a
bit... we never admitted that a) it was dog food and b) it was road
kill :P

Tomorrow for me. Just bought huge bags of chicken wings,
chicken thighs, lamb chops, steak, pork chops etc.
Freezer-filling time tomorrow with the big stock pot
bubbling on the stove with chopped off wing tips and thigh
carcasses in it.

It's a very satisfying thing to do. Buying whole chickens, or leg and
thighs, and cutting them up yourself, making your own broth, etc. is hard
work, but it does save a bit on the grocery bill, and the good part is that
you know exactly what is in it! I ended up with only a quart of really
rich broth out of the neck and back and other scrap parts etc. but it is
perfect for a lunch for hubby and I with some sort of additions to it. (I
would like to do matzo balls).

I froze two containers of cooked beef in a very flavorful gravy. I will
make one into goulash by just heating it up and thickening the gravy, and
the other one will be used in a pot of beef stew. I will cook up the
vegetables separately with the juice/gravy, and add the beef near the end,
because the beef is already cooked to perfect tenderness. Any more would
make it fall apart.

Tonight will be leftover night. I have a bunch of nice leftovers to get
rid of from the last few days. Add a fresh salad and it will seem like it
is new.

Last night we had plain fresh steamed green beans with dinner, and there are
some leftover. I will sautee an onion in some butter, add the rest of the
beans tonight, and season them a little heavily, and bingo the beans are new
again too.

I also wanted to mention that I am ONLY buying the natural chickens these
days. What an incredible difference they make. I had been buying purdue
brand chickens in Sam's club (warehouse store) for a long time, thinking
they were decent, but they absolutely are not. The all natural chicken is
so much more juicy, and the meat tastes better longer. The purdue chicken
tasted OK when first cooked, but if you don't use it all that first day, the
meat doesn't taste as good the next day. So I am paying a lot more for
chicken, but we get more out of it. Even the soup tastes better when made
with the natural chicken.

When my kids were all home I used to buy a case of chicken leg
quarters(they were cheap), which weighed aboaut 40 lbs(the case, not the
legss). I would cut off the back and freeze them separately to make soup
later.

n those days, iif I bought whole chicken(which I also did) three
would feed us for two days. Since he chicken was fairly cheap, I would
let the kids have as much as hey wanted. with beef, I would kind of limit
it. They always compained that I didn't have enough meat in the beef
stew:-) I would put beans in as well as potatoes, carrots, etc as a
nutritional boost and they tasted good. Very different now, with just the
two of us and me with diabetes:-( I still get "family"packs of stuff adn
freeze in 2 person quantities.

Very smart. I do that too when it is something that lends itself. For
example chicken breasts.....I buy a large package and put two by two in
ziploc bags. When hubby is in the mood for chicken breasts he just brings
up a small bag from the freezer for me. If more people are expected I will
take out two bags!

Does natural mean free range? - if so, I definitely agree with you. We
have free range, barn raised, and battery hen designations. I
occasionally eat barn raised, but I don't buy battery hen stuff at
all, the poor beasts. I'm thankful I can afford to make those choices
though!

Hi Nicky,

These are free range, all natural chickens, raised without antibiotics and
hormones and all the usual nasties they put in commercial factory farms.
Those poor critters have a lousy life and they taste lousy too. The brand
I am buying is called Bell and Evans and they sell them at a place Wendy
knows about.... Adams market. It is my local area's answer to whole foods
and trader joes. Not nearly as big or famous, but all top quality decent
food.

My husband has a theory. He says if you go into a restaurant and see lots
of old people eating there, usually it has good food and good value, because
the old folks are smart. Well now that WE are "old folks" ourselves, I can
tell you that Adams market has lots of old folks shopping there.

I also get grass fed, locally raised beef and other meats there, also the
absolute best produce and biggest selection anywhere in the area. But it
is more money for everything you buy there.

Same here. I buy from a chicken specialist, free range and
antibiotics free.

Evelyn, was it 2 years ago? or a bit longer? that the melamine in
dog/cat food became a problem

i wrote to the manufacturers of a number of dog foods (kibble) and
Pedigree was the only manufacturer who catagorically stated they buy ALL
components of their kibble from North American (Canada and USA) sources

Pedigree didn't make any of the recall lists, consistent with their
claim(s).

That's good to know, Kate. We feed them a very expensive kind of kibble
put out by a company called solid gold. It is a very high quality food.
My dogs are my babies and they don't get supermarket dog food. I used to
feed them Iams which was excellent, now it is junk. I fed them Science
Diet, which is decent. But the canned meat products are a ripoff. For
what a can costs and how little real meat is in it, I can do better and feed
them more meat for less money.

I've only ever fed my dog... fresh meat, cottage cheese, and veggies.
Nothing I couldn't eat myself, she is 11 and has had very good health,
except now old age is setting in a bit since she's a large dog, and she
hasn't fully recovered from the surgery to remove a cyst on her side. It's
just a personal thing with me, I don't trust dog food of any kind. :-)

Hi Cheri,

My dogs are German Shepherds and I formerly bred, showed and trained them in
years gone by. The current two are just pets. We love them to bits and
they are members of the family.

I believe that a good quality kibble which is made from all natural
ingredients will do fine, but with a lot of supplementation from fresh
foods.

My vet has me feeding my one dog with cooked ground turkey, cooked barley,
seaweed, broccoli, celery, and various other stuff. It is an oriental
"cooling" diet to help her skin problems.

Look into the solid gold pet foods. The way they came into being is
interesting. A woman who was a breeder went to Germany to look at some
animals for possible purchase to import here. She saw what they fed their
dogs and the problems their dogs did NOT suffer from, that our dogs often
did. So she wrote it all down and made this dog food. It is not cheap,
and of course if you supplement it with fresh foods, it is even better.
Here's their website.

http://www.solidgoldhealth.com/

We feed them the one called "wolf king," which lists ingredients that are
all good stuff. I want these dogs to live long and happy lives, though
Shepherds are notoriously not a long lived breed. My female is named Asta,
and she is now just 7 and my young male is named Max and he just turned 3.

Even still I usually need to cook for Asta a lot these days because she is
very allergic and gets skin itchies, hence the "cooling diet" the vet has
her on. I cook up whole bags of barley with seaweed and vegetables for
her, plus her ground turkey meat.

Sounds like a good plan Evelyn. Yes it is amazing how much we come to love
these dogs. I remember when your dog Baron died and how sad it was for you.
I'm not looking forward to the idea with Sophie, but I do think that when
they put her under for the surgery it took a lot out of her, and I'm not
sure she will ever recover fully.

We are feeding our little guy Science Diet Puppy formula in the Little
Bites size. He seems to be thriving on it. We are being careful with
treats and making sure they are not high in fat.
