Satin Balls Question
« on: September 07, 2006, 06:34:32 am »
I have been thinking of adding Satin Balls to Koby's diet because he refuses to gain weight! lol  I was just going to use them as snacks just giving him small amounts daily until he had gained a few lbs.  My question is...is there a recipe out there that's wheat free?  The recipe I have has Total Cereal (which is wheat flakes) and Wheat Germ. Is this recipe fogiving enough where I can omit these two things and have it still turn out ok?  I have no clue what Wheat Germ is for.  I think Total now makes a Corn flake which would be ok but I'm not 100% sure they make those.  And I also wanted to ask if there is anything extra I can add to this recipe to up the calorie content? 

Big thanks in advance!

Edited: Because I'm a dork and don't know how to word things properly.  ;D

BETTY LEWIS' SATIN BALLS
I don't like the Satin Ball recipe b/c of the sugar- laden Total Cereal. Here's the fat ball recipe that helped put weight on Druid.

1 lb ground beef
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 jar all natural peanut butter
1 jar (smaller of the sizes) wheat germ
1 doz egg yolks
1 cup or so of flaked oats soaked in heavy cream
Mix up, form balls, freeze, feed as treats or food supplement.

Louise's Fedemma's Fat Balls

WEIGHT GAIN
 Small heavy cream
 1 doz eggs
 2 blocks of cream cheese (room temp)
 5 lbs ground beef -- (I get the 27% fat)
 1 sm box TOTAL cereal
(crunch up Total into small crumbs)
 1 cup wheat germ
 mix dry ingredients
 Add heavy cream
 Add cream cheese
MIX TOGETHER
 Add ground beef
MIX TOGETHER
 Roll into balls -- I put them on cookie sheets and freeze, makes a lot --


Marge Paszeks Fat Balls

WEIGHT GAIN
 1 lb hamburger
 1 package cream cheese
 1 dozen egg yolks
 1 jar all natural peanut butter
 about 1 cup rolled oats soaked in milk
 1 jar wheat germ

 Mix up, measure out, feed as needed. You'll need to mix it with your
 hands. It's hard to mix and messy.  I usually make this with more
hamburger  (like, 2 or 3lbs) and freeze what I'm not using that day or the next.

I have seen those recipes online but unfortunately they all have wheat.  I may just take the original recipe, take out the wheat ingredients and see if that works.  Thanks though!
