Why should you cook for your pets? by Dr. Karen Becker, VM
Feeding your pets a healthy diet is simple and easy.
It’s like cooking for yourself except your leaving out the salt and a few other ingredients. Whats great about cooking your pets meals is you know what’s exactly in there. Your using beef, chicken, turkey and lamb fresh from the store. No processed precooked meat in a can.
Human Grade Food: It’s Not Just for Humans
Unless the commercial dog or cat food you’re buying is made with human-grade ingredients, you are feeding your pet rendered protein. Rendered meat is essentially pieces and parts of this animal or that — there’s really no telling. This low quality protein is less than desirable nutrition for your pet. You don’t know what country the meat came from or if this meat came from sick, road kill or euthanized animals. . . This can be an issue since other countries do not have the same regulations for human consumption.
Unfortunately, commercial pet food made entirely with human-grade ingredients is usually at least three times as expensive as food containing crude protein. This is one of the main reasons for switching your pet to a homemade diet. You have complete control over what goes into your dog’s or cat’s mouth, and you can insure you’re feeding high quality, human-grade protein and not the crude, pieces-and-parts variety.

Chef Sherrie Angel… Rocks the Kitchen with Pumpkin Rolls
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup warm Whole Milk
1/4 cup Honey
1/4 cup salted Butter
2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
1 can (15 oz) Canned Pumpkin
1 Egg
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
5 cups Flour
DIRECTIONS
Place milk , 1 teaspoon honey and whisk together. Sprinkle yeast on top, set to the side for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl combine and mix together the remaining ingredients. Add the milk mixture and start mixing. Dough will be wet. If the dough is extremely wet you can add some flour, but the dough should remain sticky. Don’t add to much flour at once, a little at a time until you can handle to dough.
After you have the dough mixed together remove from the bowl to a floured surface so you can knead the dough. Knead for 15 minutes.
Lightly butter a bowl and place the dough inside and cover with Saran Wrap. Allow the dough to rise. It should be doubled in size. About 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Remove dough from bowl. You can use a pastry mat / board, greased surface or parchment paper to use for your work area.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces so it’s easier to handle. Cut the dough into 24 pieces. Grease or butter your hands and roll the dough inward into balls. Place the pieces into a greased pan or pans. Depending on what you have handy.
Cover pans with a kitchen towel and allow the rolls to rise to double or triple the size. About 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
About 30 minutes before the rolls are finished rising turn the oven on to 375 degrees F.
Bake the rolls for 25 – 30 minutes or until golden.
Remove from the oven. Brush the tops of rolls with butter. Let the rolls cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove rolls and place on wire rack. These rolls can be served warm or at room temperature.
If needed you can make these a day ahead, so you can concentrate on all the other dinner items.
