I love roasted beets - peel if necessary, cube, toss with a little olive oil and your favorite seasonings, and bake at 425 or so till lightly browned.

Re: How many lbs of feed at one time?

The manufacturer's feeding directions say do not feed more than 5 pounds of Triple Crown Senior at a single meal. Elsewhere they state 5 pounds of Senior per day = 20 kitchen measuring cups per day.
