Eggs

Since we are working on storing eggs this month, I thought I'd tell you about a few websites that I found with interesting information:

Egg Storage Safety Tips

These are just ideas. You can read for yourself what is out there. I suggest trying a method or two, just so you know how they work. A big part of preparedness is the knowledge of how to do something!!

May Monthly Goal

Fill out Ingredients Chart for your 16 recipes.

Try one new recipe (if you added some new ones)

Purchase supplies for 12 meals. Suggestion: purchase for a variety of meals so that you have a variety in your food storage.

Learn to make jam.

Purchase powdered eggs or learn to store long-term.

Homemade Tootsie Rolls

2-Tbs. butter
1/2-c. light corn syrup
2 sq. unsweetened chocolate
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. powdered sugar
3/4 c. nonfat dry milk
Melt chocolate squares. Blend butter and syrup. Stir in chocolate and vanilla. Gradually add sugar and dry milk to syrup mixture. Knead until blended. Form into rolls, cut and wrap in wax paper.

April's Food Storage Goal

Just a reminder:
Get a binder/folder for food storage ideas, recipes, menu plan, etc
Plan 16 meal menu
Find a location to keep your food, separate from your regular pantry (if possible)

Ranch Dressing

Today Mike and I were talking about how we needed to make sure we had Ranch dressing (and lots of it) in our food storage because we have a couple of kids who would drink it if we let them. Well, I was at HEB just now and struck gold. Kraft dressing (16 oz) is on sale for $1.99 (not the gold part yet!!). But with it there was a $1.50 off Kraft Ranch--yeah...that's $.49 each! Yippie! So I stocked up. This was in the produce section of the Gattis one but it's probably at the others too, somewhere! Hurry the deal ends on the 21st!
