Hey guys, I'm getting ready to make a new batch of birdie mash and I want to change it up a bit...but I'm drawing a blank.
I use sweet potato as the base, so that's a must.
Normally my mash consists of:
corn - from frozen
green beans - from frozen
peas - from frozen
cauliflower
broccoli
beans from bean soup mix
chopped walnut & almonds
red,green,orange peppers
brown rice
whole wheat pasta
I'd like to change it a bit because I've been feeding this same mix for a couple years now. But I'm at a loss as to what to take out and what to add in. I've noticed she's not eating much of the peppers or beans anymore, but I thought the beans were important and wasn't sure if I could eliminate those.
I did try last spring/summer to make a veggie chop (without the mashed sweet potatoes) and she wouldn't even touch it. For 3 months. So that mashed part is a must.
This will be frozen, so I need veggies that I can pat dry or don't carry excess fluid.
