Rainy Day Foods

Honey is the world’s oldest sweetener, one of the few foods that will never spoil.  In its liquid form, honey is used to enhance all kinds of sweet and savory foods.  As you know, it is made by bees using nectar from flowers.  In ancient Egypt, honey was used to sweeten baked goods as it is today and also to...

Food Storage. We all think about it. We all know deep down that this is something good that we can do for ourselves and our family. Yet many households today, if they were to face a crisis of any kind whether it be natural or man-made, would not be prepared. So how does one go about doing it? The answer...

I recently got to try the muffin mixes that Rainy Day Foods sells.  Besides the Basic Muffin Mix, they have added three flavored ones:  Lemon Poppy Seed, Bran, and Banana.  They were so easy to make!  You just measure out the desired amount of mix, add water and bake.  I like this because even my kids could make them.  For...

Spelt is probably the most delicious grain you’ve never heard of.  Spelt (Triticum spelta) is an ancient grain which should not be confused with common bread wheat.  It was one of the first grains to be used to make bread and can be traced back to about 6000 B.C.  It is even mentioned in the Bible. Known for its slightly...

I figure I can’t possibly be the only person who doesn’t know anything about the many varieties of wheat that are available. I am going to blog on a few of these in the next few weeks as I learn more about them.  The first one is KAMUT. KAMUT, pronounced Ku-Moot, is a brand name for an ancient, recently revived...

Our cold fall weather once again made me turn to soup to feed my family.  This time I decided to try Rainy Day Foods Tomato Basil Soup.  Rainy Day Foods has an assortment of quick and easy meals and the Tomato Basil Soup is one of them.  Because it is so easy (all you have to do is add water...

As I was going through my 72 hour kit I found an item that came in the kit that I wasn’t too familiar with:  the Aquamira Water Bottle and Filter.  I decided I needed to learn more about it.  The Aquamira Water Bottle and Filter system provides a safe and convenient way to drink clear clean tasting water anywhere.  No...

Fall is in the air and that means it’s soup time at my house.  One of the ingredients I use in my soups is chicken bouillon that I get from Rainy Day Foods.  They sell it in a #2.5 can or #10 can.  This bouillon is made by adding a ½ teaspoon of it to a cup of hot water. ...

Here is a simple recipe that makes pasta night a little more interesting.  This cheesy  sauce is a healthy twist on regular alfredo, and the beans add protein and a creamy texture to the pasta.  Use grated parmesan cheese for the most authentic alfredo  flavor, or substitute your favorite freeze-dried cheese. I like mozzarella, but cheddar or colby could turn...
