In a previous post, I asked your advice on how to get Rico to eat better, since he is ultra picky!
I tried many things, including ideas shared by other members. Some worked better than others, but Rico always seemed to revert back to being a little picky devil!
I began contemplating doing a whole home cooked diet for him, and I began to shop for ingredients... As I started to boil the chicken, sweet potatoes, peas, rice etc etc... I thought to myself I really am biting off more than I can chew, no pun intended LOL. I have no issue cooking for him, but committing to this seemed to be a lot and I knew there had to be some way to convince him to eat his Fromm food.
Knowing he likes boiled chicken and boiled sweet potatoes, I decided to try the following:
3 large chicken breasts
3 medium sized sweet potatoes peeled and quartered
In a large pot, combine sweet potatoes and chicken, fill with water until covered, boil on high for 30 minutes.. transfer chicken and sweet potatoes to food processor and puree.
Divide puree into ice cube trays, and freeze--recipe should yield 4 ice cube trays.
For the past week, every day, I have taken out three cubes the night before to defrost in the fridge. In his Fromm food, I mix in one cube at every serving. HE HAS EATEN EVERY MEAL TO THE LAST DROP!
Also, his poop has never been more regular and perfectly consistent in texture.
I am amazed!
