Kushi's homemade supplement meal

I made a homemade supplement meal as a treat for Kushi using ingredients I happened to have on hand. It's most likely not nutritionally complete nor balanced, so this will be an occasional switch for Kushi's kibble. This recipe is based upon Dr. Michael Fox's online recipe. Dr. Fox has a syndicated column. Here's what I made after raiding my fridge/freezer/medicine cabinet:

4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
1/2 cup carrots, rough chopped
1/4 cup frozen green beans
1/4 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup oats
1 egg
1 tsp canola oil
pinch salt
2 large Tums tablets (or about 1 tsp calcium carbonate)
1/4 of a multivitamin tablet
2 Tbsp yogurt

Boil chicken thighs in a pot of water until cooked through. In the last couple of minutes, add the carrots, green beans and peas to blanch. Drain the water. Add the veggies to the food processor, along with the oats, egg, oil, yeast, salt, calcium carbonate, multivitamin and puree very well. Add the chicken thighs and pulse the food processor until the chicken is mixed in well, but still a bit chunky. Let cool. When cool, stir in the yogurt. Shape into serving sized patties. For Kushi's size, I shaped them into 1/4 cup patties and froze the patties. Makes roughly 2.5 cups.



I even sampled the food: it's a bit bland to me, but otherwise tastes pretty decent... But what does Kushi think about it?


Checking back 5 minutes later...


Woah! That dish was so clean and shiny, it looked like it had been through the dishwasher.
