Birdnut Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yum. I cook up a similar mix in my rice cooker. I cook together brown rice and an assortment of whole grains, along with some split peas and lentils and maybe some diced carrots, chopped broccoli, or other veggies. When it's done, I mix in some frozen mixed veggies. The frozen veggies cool the grain mixture and the hot grains thaw out the frozen veggies. When I serve this, I also chop in some raw veggies, like red bell pepper and greens, and maybe a little fruit. I don't know what I'd do without my rice cooker.

Shoulderin Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Do you freeze it? I am going to try it! Thanks for the recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 looks fantastic! Similar to my recipe, and yes it freezes beautifully! Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malikah Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks, and you are welcome! I freeze in portions that last about 2 days and serve slightly warmed up with a piece of birdy bread and fresh veggies and the occasional piece of fruit. Oh yes and a little bit of what she can have of our meal at dinner time. I give the same but in tiny portions to my parakeet as well. I think he is going to live to be 20. I like the rice cooker idea, I'll bet that's a real time saver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezron Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Organic! Good for you! Don't you enjoy feeding your fids good healthful foods and watching them bury their faces in all that yumminess! I swear my birds eat better than I do and only organic will do. I found these little tupperware containers the hold 1/4 cup and I cook up a batch, divide it between the containers, and freeze. The little tupperwares are so easy to pull out of the freezer for a fresh batch. It is fun thinking up new combinations of veggies, beans, and grains to give them.

Mama CJ Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Looks great! I have to ask, where do you get some of your ingredients? Like golden flax, millet, and pepitos? Can these things be found at the grocery? I have a Trader Joe's about 40 miles away, would they have these ingredients? I live in the country and the closest grocery stores are Kroger and Walmart. I make an occasional trip to the bigger cities......Thanks, Carla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malikah Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 We have a Pick n Save grocery store here that has a large selection of organic seeds/grains/nuts. If you have to make a special trip to get them the nice thing is you can freeze them without cooking to use later too. When my supply starts getting low I'll gather all the dry ingredients for the next batch and put them in a gallon freezer bag in my freezer. Once it's all cooked I put 2 or 3 day portions in sandwich bags, roll them up to get out all the air, zip them closed and then put those into gallon freezer bags to freeze.

Joli Grisham Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Question for you...I have seen several recipes that suggest a bean mix, but when I brought my first bird home my breeder gave me a "toxic foods" list for parrots that included kidney and lima beans. Does anyone have any more information on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morana Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) See thread Tinkerbell mash for more info. I will just quote Shanlung: " Lima beans contained linamarin, which releases a cyanide compound unless cooked thoroughly. The soaking/germinating process that I do reduces the linamarin. The liquidizing of the all the beans ensured the beans are broken into small bits so that cooking is thorough to render harmless all poison from lima and other beans" Hope it helps.

Elvenking Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Can you explain exactly how to make this? Thanks. I wish I could make something like this but I can never find a GOOD recipe that explains how to do everything.

Elvenking Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Not exactly this but similar and good - http://parrotnation.com/2010/08/08/chop-shot-by-shot/ I went to that link and do not see anything but a short paragraph and then tons of comments. It speaks of a video but where is it? I am not a very savvy cook and need the most help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malikah Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Thanks GT, that's the other side of the coin of what I make. I feed fresh or frozen veggies with mine since it's mostly grains, and she feeds beans on the side of hers since it's mostly veggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
