Dogs not only survived but thrived on the Dog Food Recipes which came from the human table for thousands of years. Finding free natural home made dog food recipes is not easy. It is only in the last hundred years that we have we been led to believe that dogs can not survive without packaged dog food. We are told that it would be harmful if we were to give them the scraps from our own home cooked meals. This is pure poppycock!
1lb ground lamb (beef if you wish)
1 2 cups brown rice
2 stalks Broccoli
2 or 3 medium potatoes
3 medium carrots
4 cloves garlic
1 sheet kombi, Sea Kelp (optional)
Brown lamb in a fry pan. After it gets going, put on the chopped garlic to brown. Boil water, put about 4-5 cups into a crock pot, so it is already hot while you are fixing the rest of the ingredients. Add cubed potatoes to the fry pan. Cut broccoli and add this to the crock. Put the rest of the works in the pot, add enough hot water to cover. Add pepper to taste. Throw in 1/2 cup brown rice and mix.

Glazed Dog Biscuits
1 Envelope dry yeast
1/4 c Warm water
1 pn Sugar
3 1/2 c All-purpose flour
2 c Whole wheat flour
2 c Cracked wheat; OR 1 c Cornmeal
1 c Rye flour
1/2 c Nonfat dry milk
4 ts Kelp powder
4 c Beef or chicken broth
Glaze
1 lg Egg
2 tb Milk
Place 2 oven racks in the upper & lower thirds of the oven. Preheat oven to 300F. Sprinkle the dry yeast or crumble the compressed yeast over the water (110F if dry, 100F if compressed). Add the pinch of sugar & allow yeast to sit in a draft-free spot for 10 to 20 minute.
The mixture should be full of bubbles. If not, the yeast is too old to be useful. Stir well to dissolve the yeast. In a large bowl, place all the dry ingredients & stir well to blend them. Add the yeast mixture & 3 c broth. Using your hands, in the bowl, mix to form the dough, adding more broth if needed to make the dough smooth & supple. Half a batch at a time, knead the dough briefly on a lightly floured counter. (Keep the 2nd batch of dough covered with a moist towel while shaping and cutting the first.) Roll out the dough into 18 x 13 x 1/4-inch rectangle. Cut into desired shapes using 3 1/2 inch bone cutter or 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter. Reroll the scraps. Repeat procedure with remaining dough. For an attractive shine, lightly beat together the egg and the milk.
Brush the glaze on the cookies. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until brown & firm. For even baking, rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom 3/4 of the way through the baking period. Use a small, angled metal spatula to transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature-cracked wheat & kelp are available at most health food stores-Use 2 cups of bran cereal (not flakes) in place of the cracked wheat, if desired. If your dog is large, make larger cookies. Allow the cookie sheets to cool completely before using for the next batch. Distribute cookies evenly around sheet; avoid crowding or overlapping
