Grains:

2 cups uncooked brown rice
1 cup millet
2 cups long cook oats
1/2 cup ground flax seed do not cook

Cook grains per instructions, put in large bowl to cool.

Beans:
4 cups 21 bean mix (bought in bulk)
1 cup barley
3 cloves garlic chopped

Put all ingredients in large pot cover with water bring to a boil turn off and let sit for one hour
after one hour rinse beans and put back in pot cover with water and cook for one hour or until beans are tender. drain and mix into grains.

Vegetables:
Always 3 sweet potato’s then you can add broccoli cauliflower carrots zucchini anything you have in the house usually equals 5 cups of veggies. I put the veggies through the food processor and chop it or you can do it by hand.

I use a steamer and steam for 15 minutes but you can sauté in 1/8 cup of olive oil in a large skillet for about 15 minutes, mix with other ingredients and you are done.

This feeds my 2 dogs for 5 days 1 dog eats 1 1/4 cup per meal the other 1 3/4.

If you want to make smaller portions just make sure you use 1/3 of each group.

dog vitamins
by: Dawn Make sure if you choose to use this diet to include a good dog multi-vitamin or supplement. There are things that the dogs need daily they can not get from veggies. I like these they are well balanced and have every thing your dogs need. These were the only ones I could find that did not include meat There is one with glucosamine that will help with the hips.

1 cup sunflower or pumpkin seeds

1/4 cup unsulfered molasses

Mix all dry ingredients together in large bowl. Mix all wet ingredients in small bowl . Then mix
both together and knead together for a few minutes. let dough sit for 30 minutes, then put on greased 17x11x 1 inch cookie sheet and roll out to fill cookie sheet. Cut in even squares and then bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

veggie delight, made a change in the recipe
by: Dawn I discovered quinoa and realized that it was a much better grain. Well not a grain but a seed full of protein, more digestible and less likely to cause allergies. I took out all other grains. The dogs seem to love it.

veggie dog food
by: Daw MY dogs are 70 lbs. I feed him 2 cups per meal and 1 is 40 lbs dog is fed 1 1/4 per meal. It all depends on the energy level and keeping the weight where you want it. My 70 lb dog was over weight on the same amount of kibble but lost weight on this amount of food which he needed. My 40 lb dog did not loose an ounce. Their teeth also stayed clean on this diet a nice side effect
