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...

We recently had a minor earthquake where I live.  This got me to thinking about whether or not my family is prepared for such an emergency.  A 72 hour kit is essential for any emergency.  There are many types of disasters and emergencies:  floods, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes.  In many cases, a 72 hour kit could mean the difference...

Have you ever tried buckwheat pancakes? Buckwheat is a seed, not a grain, and it grinds into a flour that can be used in place of most wheat flours. These are very hearty pancakes that will keep you full throughout the morning thanks to their high fiber content.  Freshly-ground buckwheat flour yields the best results and will have more nutrients...

However I expect it basically holds true from room temperature down...

I don’t enjoy shopping for food very much, so when I do I like to stock up as much as possible.  I like that Rainy Day Foods has so many of the basic baking items in large quantities, such as salt, flour, and baking soda.  Even foods that I use frequently like spaghetti noodles, muffin mix and rice are available...

There's nothing like enjoying a juicy hamburger  at a picnic, but I also love eating meat-free burgers from time to time. These black bean burgers are made with ingredients that are already in your pantry and can be prepared and cooked in less than half an hour.  These aren't intended to be a meat substitute, but rather a recipe that...

Tonight I made a casserole with a wonderful food storage item:  freeze dried cheese.  Last week I tried it in my soup; I simply sprinkled a handful into the crockpot and it reconstituted as the soup cooked.  It was very easy and tasted good in the soup, so I wanted to see how it would work in a casserole.  I...

I was in the mood for a crunchy snack this weekend so I tried something that I've always loved but have never made myself - caramel corn! I used to think that making caramel corn would be difficult and require fancy equipment (like a popcorn popper and a candy thermometer) but it was easy to do right on my stove...
