I home cook for Amber and Ruby. Its about 80 percent home cooking and the rest is blue buffalo canned food when I am traveling. I cook two pounds of ground turkey (it is rather cheap at 1.20 a pound), one can of mixed veggies, and one cup of cooked rice. Stir it up; give them about one cup at a time with two tablespoons of yogurt along with one tablespoon of pumpkin and in the morning one raw egg, everything mixed up and watch it get consumed with a quickness. I just started Ruby on home cooking this week, hence the yogurt and pumpkin to make sure her stools stay nice and firm. I also give them ground beef or roasts when they are on sale (i load up and buy 100 pounds at a time then for both humans and fur babies). So, ground turkey, ground beef, and roasts all work great. Chicken too but it costs an arm and leg for ground chicken where I am located. Good luck.
