I switched from Missing Link to a more comprehensive blend bc Pitcairn's multiple suggestions were just not convenient. I give one that has a multi vit/mineral, probiotics, digestive enzymes, AND the EFAs. Then I give Solid Gold's Bone Meal for calcium. This is the supplement:

I actually am not a huge fan of Pitcairn, partly bc he makes feeding seem like an exact only-one-way science, and makes it so overwhelming. He also firmly recommends grains and veggies...which is really quite odd, esp. the grains.
I do as much research as I can, then I go back to common sense and ask: "is my own nutrition an exact science?", "do people thrive only if on a certain kind of diet?", "is there only one way to achieve excellent nutrition?" - you get the idea.
I think it's great that you're thinking about home cooking - just do a lot of research, supplement properly, follow some basic guidelines - and you should do just fine. But I totally know where you're at - bc I was there too!
