Goulash
Goulash is a soup or stew of meat and vegetables seasoned with paprika and other spices. This is my healthy dog-friendly version. The best part about this dish is that you really don’t have to follow the recipe closely…you can add as much or as little of any of the ingredients, and substitute the meat and veggies for whatever suits your pup! I used ground bison and ground chicken as my protein source, but you can use ground beef, ground lamb, ground venison, and even add in some chicken gizzards and/or chicken live or mackerel – the choices are endless!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of organic ground bison (we choose a brand with no antibiotics and no added hormones)
- 1 pound of ground organic chicken (we choose a brand with no antibiotics and no added hormones)
- 3 organic eggs
- (1) 10 oz bag fresh organic broccoli florets (I used about 1/2 the bag) chopped in food processor
- (1) 5 oz bag fresh organic spinach (I used about 1/2 the bag) chopped in food processor
- 1 bunch fresh organic kale (I used about 6 large leaves) – chopped in food processor
- 1 bunch or bag of fresh organic carrots (I used 4 carrots) chopped in food processor
- (1) 12 oz bag of fresh organic green beans, trimmed and cut into small pieces (I used the whole bag and snipped off 1/4 inch pieces with kitchen shears)
- 1-2 organic sweet potatoes (I used one very large potato) – grated
- 2 bags of cooked organic brown rice
Instructions:
- boil the meat until fully cooked – stirring and “chopping up” meat to separate it (do not drain water from pot – and you can add more water as you add ingredients. I kept the consistency less “soupy”)
- add in eggs, stirring to break up eggs and mix
- add in your veggies and mix
- add in brown rice and stir
- simmer on low heat until veggies are cooked
Cheesy-Root-Veggie Pancakes
Ingredients:
- (1) 12 oz bag Cascadian Farm Organic Root Vegetable Hash Browns (you can buy potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots separately and use a grater to shred them, but I love the Cascadian Farms root veggies – – saves time!)
- organic sharp shredded cheddar – put as little – or as much as you please
- 2 organic eggs, whisked
- organic plain bread crumbs
- organic olive oil cooking spray
Instructions:
- coat pan with cooking spray
- mix the root veggies, cheese & eggs together until well combined
- add bread crumbs until you achieve a consistency you like
- form pancakes in the size of your choice and add to pan
- cook over medium heat, flipping pancake until cheese is melted and both sides are browned to your liking
