Homemade dog food – Make it, portion it, freeze it, win!
A couple days after putting up the post on how to make your own dog food, I found some more pictures I had wanted to share.
The above is where I roasted a whole turkey, deboned it, and mixed it with cooked rice, peas, carrots, some leftover potatoes (not many), and some scrambled eggs. Below shows it with some gravy. Appetizing, huh? I swear, dogs dig it. :P
And this? This is a whole lot of plastic wasted, but it means it could all be tossed into the freezer and my mom could pull it out, one serving at a time (about a cup for Buddy), microwave it, and be done.
I would also freeze a couple days’ worth in plastic bowls that could be thawed out in the fridge and then scooped out for each meal. For the sake of convenience, this made it just as easy as having store-bought food on hand. And because it was only done once a month or two, the effort saved a bunch of time, money, and health in the process.
How to make your own McRib out of Spam – No…really…a McSpam
Start with that delicious looking slab of pink “I don’t want to know what’s in this can”….
And end with this:
Mmmm. Well, it might be anyway. It does look kinda good. And with enough barbecue sauce and goodies on top, it probably does taste pretty good.
A full picture tutorial is over at these BBQ forums.
If you’re making this for an anti-Spam family, I’d suggest going the same route he did:
The scariest part of this whole adventure is that the McSpam was surprisingly tasty. And the kids ate it without complaining. Maybe that’s because I didn’t tell them what it was before they ate it…
I know I always get my best results if I don’t tell them what the quirky ingredients inside are until after they’ve already given their seal of approval, hehe.
And honestly, I think that sandwich looks a whole lot better than these pictures of a real McRib. (Don’t hate me, but I never saw the appeal in the first place…)
