Make-ahead Tummy Warming Mix
(compare to Crazy Corn™ Mix etc.)
1 cup green and yellow split peas
1 cup whole wheat kernels
1 cup lentils
1 cup Quinoa can substitute other grains
1 cup finely chopped nuts - walnuts, almonds, sunflower meats etc.
1 cup coconut
1 cup raisins, dates and cranberries (dried)*
1 cup dehydrated banana chips*
1 cup wild rice
2 cups home dehydrated fruit bits*
1 cup home dehydrated vegetables*
1 cup barley
1 TA cinnamon
1 TA nutmeg
1 TA allspice
When cooking the recipe, cook 1 cup veggie pasta (per directions on box) and add it
to the mix before freezing. Mix 1 part of make-ahead mix to 3 parts water. Cook
approximately 1/2 hour. If there is any water left in pan after cooking add some instant
rice, you want all of the water to be absorbed; there are a lot of nutrients in this
water. Cool and freeze in serving size portions. Thaw as needed and feed warm. You can add
Petamine or crushed pellets to the warm mix. *I dehydrate my own fruits and vegetables,
you can purchase them also. It is very easy to dehydrate foods, even in an oven if you
don't have a dehydrator. Let me know if anyone wants me to post the method I use.
Make-ahead mix can be stored in a tightly covered container in the fridge.
Quincy an & Bailey's Sweet
Potato Cookies
This recipe was created especially for Kathy (Tielmom)
1 cup shredded sweet potatoes
1 cup shredded zucchini
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 TA minced garlic (optional)
2 cups Quaker Multi-Grain Cereal (uncooked)
1 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup whole grain cornmeal****
1/4 cup oil
Vegetable Juice
Mix all ingredients in food processor except for cornmeal. ***Add enough cornmeal to make
a fairly dry mix that cleans the side of the bowl, so you have something similar to pie
dough. If you add too much cornmeal, then put in a little vegetable juice, if you add too
much vegetable juice, then add more cornmeal. Options:
Roll 1 inch pieces of dough into a ball, flatten, and dip both sides in cornmeal. Place on
a lightly sprayed cookie sheet. Flattened dough can be cut with a pizza cutter in quarters
or however small you want the pieces to be, or leave uncut.
or roll out dough in cornmeal to 1/4 inch thick, cut with cookie cutters, dip in cornmeal
and place on lightly sprayed cookie sheet. Roll and cut scraps until all dough is used up.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Turn oven off and leave in oven overnight so
they can harden the rest of the way. Even though these are hard dry cookies, I still
freeze mine, because there are no preservatives. Bonus: Try feeding some to the
pooch.....he or she will love them.

Honey Pellets
(converting seed eaters to pellets.) This recipe was created with seed junkies in
mind. We tested if for two months, and it's ready to roll.
3 eggs
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
6 cups assorted pellets some colored.(size depends on the size of your birds)
1 cup Petamine
1 cup chopped nuts after grinding
1 cup chopped dry unsulfered fruits
1 cup dry veggies after grinding.....I grind mine to a fine powder so they stick to the
pellets.
1/4 cup anise seeds (optional)
You will need a large baking pan for this, I used one of the aluminum roasting pans that
are disposable Beat the eggs with a whisk. Add the honey and peanut butter, and
whisk really hard until all is blended.....no chunks of peanut butter. In another bowl mix
all of the dry ingredients. Set your oven temperature to 400 degrees, and let it heat
up. As soon as the temperature is at 400 degrees, quickly
blend together the wet and dry ingredients, making sure all ingredients are coated with
the PB/Honey/Egg mixture. Mix with your hands to break up any clumps. Set your
timer to 5 minutes, then check and stir, and break up clumps. Do this again...5
minutes and breaking up clumps. Set the oven temperature to 200 degrees, and bake
for another half hour. Check a few times in this half hour period....again break up
clumps. When the half hour is over, do not open the oven, but turn your oven off and
let the pan sit in the oven till cool. Take out of the oven and break up any clumps
are still there. I would freeze the recipe and take out what you need for a day.I
used one of the large foil roasting pans
