Frozen Meat Muffins
This is for supplemental feeding only. Do not feed a dog immediately
after heavy exercise - wait until he or she is no longer breathing
heavily.
* 3 pounds ground meat, any variety - higher fat for active dogs, leaner
for dogs who are "easy keepers"
* 6 eggs
* 1/2 pound berries, any kind (hint, if these are not in season, you can
find frozen which work just as well)
* 2 cups whole grain - rolled oats, or I prefer to use barley as it's a
"cooler" grain
* 1/4 cup black strap molasses
* 1/2 pound any type of veggies, steamed
Throw eggs, complete with shells, into blender and process until shells
are ground. Throw in berries (thaw frozen berries), molasses, and veggies
(if there's no room, divide the eggs and do it half at a time - I actually
do all this in the meat grinder. Pour into a large bowl and add meat. Mix
meat and egg mixture thoroughly. Fold in grain.
Spray muffin tins with cooking spray or grease thoroughly. I actually use
silicone pans that I can turn inside out when they are frozen. I have
dogs that range around the 40 pound mark, so I put 1/4 cup of the mixture
in each tin. This makes a nice snack that doesn't interfere with their
regular meals. For smaller dogs, one might want to put less in, or roll
into balls and freeze on a cookie sheet. Freeze solid, then bag up and
store in freezer. I feed them right out of the freezer, just like Frosty
Paws, but you can thaw them and feed them "soft serve" or however you
prefer.
