I love to combine food storage ingredients in unexpected ways, and this recipe is a perfect example. Dehydrated mixed vegetables and buttermilk biscuit mix (both from Rainy Day Foods) come together with a few additional, food storage-friendly ingredients to make a comforting vegetable "pot pie." Real pot pie is made with a crust, but this version is so easy and...

Summer is finally here and that means firing up the grill at our house.  One of our favorite meals to fix is Chicken Pasta Alfredo.  I like to use the curly egg noodles that come from Rainy Day Foods.  You can get them in a 6 gallon bucket, 10 lb. box, or #10 can.  We use these quite often so...

Do you ever crave seasonal foods well after they've come and gone from the grocery store? Peppermint bark is something that I could eat all year long, but I only buy it at Christmastime.  Pumpkin treats are another holiday specialty that I enjoy in every season, so I always stock up on canned pumpkin puree when it's on sale in...

I grew up eating sloppy joes on a regular basis because it was a meal that my parents could make quickly and easily.  When I started cooking for myself, I would sometimes add lentils or quinoa to the recipe in order to stretch the expensive meat further. This recipe is designed to use your food storage, but you can add...

School is out so I’m looking for treats that are easy and delicious.  I found a great recipe for granola bars that I decided to try.  It calls for quick oats which led me to research the different types of oats.  All oats start off life as an oat groat.  A groat is simply the whole unbroken grain of oat. ...

One of the best ways to avoid food fatigue is to incorporate spices and seasonings into your everyday cooking.  A basic ingredient, such as pasta, can be dressed up several different ways  just by altering the type of sauce  that is added at the end.  Rainy Day Foods has a great spaghetti sauce mix, an alfredo sauce mix, and cheese...

Tomato Powder is a must for any kitchen.  With a shelf life of up to 25 years unopened and one year after opening you don’t have to worry about running out of tomato sauce or throwing out expired sauce.  How many times have you used half of a can of sauce for a recipe, planning to use the rest later...

Walton Feed wheat is the best quality wheat due to the high standard we require in high protein but also in the cleaning process of our wheat. We do not use chemicals or heat but rather a 4 phase process which ensures the cleanest and best wheat available. This involves using the top of the line cleaners which results in...

  "Food fatigue" can be a serious problem when you're living off of your food storage.  When you eat the same thing day after day (plain rice and beans, for example) you can get so tired of your meals that you want to stop eating entirely. This is why it's crucially important to learn new ways to cook with your...
