This tasty recipe straight from All Recipes, an uber-popular human recipe site that has a surprising number of homemade dog food recipes. 

Rated as 4.67 out of 5 stars, it comes from Shelly H, the owner of five dogs (all Terriers) ranging from five years to 17 years. After a big dog food scare, she says: “I didn't want to take chances so I tried to figure out a healthy recipe for them, something that had all the nutrients and fat they needed. This is what I came up with and my dogs loved it! The nice thing about this recipe is that it can be eaten by humans as well."

Directions
•Preheat oven to 205 degrees C. Grease 36 cups of 3 large muffin tins.

•In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, uncovered, and cook 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
