' This recipe is my personal favorite and very nutritious. It's so good and healthy that I have used it, with a little extra seasoning, to make delicious pot pies.
² An excellent and inexpensive chicken cut is the leftover fat from hand trimmed chicken breast and can be found at most grocery stores. If you can't find this, ask the stores meat manager for it. Watch the discount and clearance sections.
³ German Shepherd Dogs are allergic to corn and corn direvitives. Use only 'Grain-free' dry food to prevent severe skin irritations and 'califlower ear'. A very good brand is 4-Health and can only be found at Tractor Supply stores. 4-Health is relativity inexpensive and has a good selection to chose from. The CostCo brand dog foods are also a good alternitive.
