Notes

I mainly feed this to my cat Merlin, so I make smaller batches. This recipe makes enough to last a full month (four weeks). I add a heaping table spoon to his kibble and raw chicken heart ( taurine requirement for cats) each morning. He is getting it once a day for his morning meal.
But you can make as big a batch as you would like and add whatever meats and ingredients you want to it, just add some water and away you go!
