Powdered Milk
Milk is a basic ingredient for so many recipes as well as a favorite beverage. But if you’re not able to run to the store for a gallon, powdered milk is handy and easy to use. That’s why it is so important to include it in your food storage plans. What is powdered milk? Powder milk is made from fresh... -
Homemade English Muffins
Homemade English Muffins I love to eat English muffins for breakfast (especially with peanut butter and homemade jam), but they get more expensive every time I go to the grocery store. Making them myself is not only cost-effective, but I also get to enjoy freshly-cooked English muffins that are warm and wholesome. Try... -

Freshly-ground buckwheat flour yields the best results and will have more nutrients... -

These are lovely right out of the oven with a tall glass of cold milk... -

A store-bought crust would also be fine. I used spinach and onions in my quiche, but the filling options are endless! Imitation... -
Incorporating Your Food Storage Into Every Day Cooking
I made a tasty quiche from food storage for my family's Easter brunch (I'll share that recipe later), but it made me think about how much more I cook from my pantry now than I did in the past. Some of you probably don't use long-term storage food in your daily cooking, or even at all. Although I'm not an...
