What is the best way to cook baby food to save the most nutrients?

I have sliced up, yellow squash, zuchinni, butternut squash, sweet potatoes and carrots and banana and apple. Now what lol? How do I add chicken or other meats in, just cook shred and then add to finished ingredients? I want to preserve as many nutrients as possible. i have heard boil till almost soft then bake. bake with olive oil and salt and pepper. I do not know any recipes or how long to bake for and at what temp? How do you store it and how long is it good for? can i freeze it in my glass babyfood jars or the plastic ones that gerber makes? Any info would be very helpful. thanks

Puppies wrestling with each other?

I have to puppies one is a rottweiler and cattle dog mix and the other is a rott and lab mix. They both just turned one. One is 90 pounds and the other is 80 pounds. We were just at the vet and they did a body fat test on them. Neither one of them has more then 5 percent body fat on them. They constantly wrestle and play and they both love to run up and down the hills by my house and when i walk them in the forest preserves they both do belly flops right into the pond and will swim for a hour if i let them. They are in great shape but i was wondering with all the exercise they get are they getting enough nutrients. I feed them twice daily and they get a scoop of dry food and half of can of wet food. Should i increase the food intake or keep it the same. They dont seem like they are starving threw out the day and they dont demolish there food when i put it in front of them but they will lick the bowls clean. Can any one offer some advice please.
It was not really a cause for concern. It was just something I started thinking about just recently. It never really bothered me before because like i said they never seem to be starving threw out the day and so i was just wondering.

can someone help me?
