What can i feed my cats everyday other than store bought hard cat food?

I saw an episode of Oprah a while ago about her dogs. She feeds them rice and chicken and other things. I was wondering, is there anything like that that I could feed my cats? I know cat food from the stores have the proper nutrition and everything, but I would really love to see them enjoy their food, rather than eating the hard food where it seems like its going to break their teeth. I mean, if I were them, I surely wouldnt want to eat that stuff. hehe.
