I need a good recipe for a veggie casserole

[DRB]

I’m not much of a cook and I don’t get Perjo enough leafy green veggies
I’m thinking if I bake a casserole type meal she’ll dog in

Any ideas
She does like spinach and kale

She’s a big fan of crunchy foods, I’m toying with the idea of dehydrating some stuff but it takes so long , I do have a dehydrator I hardly ever use it.

Well I dont have a recipe for you but if you want dehydrated, these folks have a Great line of dehydrated veggie mixes for birdies:

They are just fine dehydrated, dry and crunchy as they are, or, just a little bit reconstitutes into a really large quantity of veggies. I've been using with my birdies for quite a while now and they really like them.

(I do give fresh veggies to mine as well. NOt as "chop," rather I clip veggies inside their cage for them to use their own beaks upon. Some lettuce or kale clipped here, some broccoli over there. Sunny prefers orange-pepper slices and green beans. etc.)

Obviously a recipe for you is going to be different than one for your bird. If it is just for the bird, try egg-whites, veggies and some other random safe stuff (no cheese or milk). Sweet potatoes, rice, potato, quinoa etc all tend to go over well. You could get creative and throw in a mashed banana (as my bird LOVES them lol)-salt, sugar, preservatives, dairy and any garlic/onion family member= no goes...and sadly, those are what make human casseroles tasty.

I took a piece of broccoli, raw carrot, cooked brown rice, cooked beans, raw oats, fresh kale (or chard), in a small processor to grind into a pulp. Then used a rolling pin between foil and plastic wrap to flatten, with a sprinkling of hulled millet on each side, and then baked in a 200F oven for about 20 mins or until crispy. It broke up into a nice chip. The birds refused the first day, but later come out of their cage for the treats every day to clean their plate.

Certain cooked beans (like kidneys ) are still very dangerous...and canned beans are high sodium...so do be careful with that. Some beans are safe cooked, but others never are (even when you cook them yourself-- they contain a toxin).

So I steamed carrots for 5 minutes
Cooked some whole grain brown rice
Steamed broccoli and cauliflower
Added some frozen peas and corn
Added spinach and kale from the food processor
Put it into a casserole dish, added 3 beat eggs.
Baked on 350 30 minutes

I’ll find out tomorrow if she really likes it.

Three days in a row she’s eating 90% of this casserole that I give her. Good sign.

You can also use mini clothespins to clip raw veggies to cage bars. As regards "PETS" above, my favorite question is to ask pet owners who they think is best trained; them or their pet. Then I raise my eye brow's and ask; who is getting what for whom. lol jh
PS: Some don't get it. jh
