I have been working on my food storage lately. What I did this past week was come up with meals that I can buy all the ingredients and put away and just pull out one "set" at a time. Here is what I came up with.
Chicken and noodles.- canned chicken, egg noodles,and cream of chicken soup. Yeah I could have made the cream soups but in desperate time like I think we are in and more is coming I chose to go the simple route, tho less healthy.
Chili- red beans, black beans, pinto beans , tomato sauce. Seasonings. If I have meat great but if not we can eat it meatless.
Tuna casserole- canned tuna, cream of mushroom soup, noodles.
Refried beans- red beans I cook and fry. I have plenty of corn meal and grains to grind to make tortillas. I can top them with cheese powder.. (which is ok when melted in)
Tuna salad or chicken salad. I bought small jars of relish and I make mayo and bread so we can have sandwiches with ease.
Chicken and rice- I add canned chicken, canned peas and canned carrots and broth and make this. My family inhales it!
Rice topped with brown sugar. a fav breakfast of ours!
Pancake mix and syrup. Yes I normally make pancakes but again in an emergency situation I won't complain about this! Just add water!
Pudding cups- I have children. Sam's has the big packages.
Peanut butter and jam - my own jam
Oil and seasonings were added to.
Ravioli- canned, again not healthful but again, desperate times......
Lentil soup- tomato sauce, lentils, garlic seasoning (I prefer fresh but....) milk (I bought more powdered milk since I don't have my cow yet)
Navy beans- add canned carrots, broth and any type of meat I have and I have soup.
Oatmeal- I can make breakfast cereal , cookies and muffins. I can stretch meat too. A very versatile product.
Snacks include raisins, dried fruit I make myself in the dehydrator I won from Life On a Homestead. and granola bars (again Sam's has the big boxes). I will add more things as I can.
My hens give us more than enough eggs ,and with my food storage I have built up and keep adding to we should be ok if ANY type of emergency happens.
This is not a list of everything but it is what I added recently :)
