What Can You Do With Your Food Storage?
You need to plan your food storage in terms of what you can actually MAKE out of the items. Wheat will do you no good if you don't have other baking items necessary to make edible food out of it. Using the information from the book Marlene's Magic with Food Storage as a general guideline, I have compiled a list of different food items you can cook depending on what items you currently have in your food storage. This should be a starting point for anyone when determining which items to begin accumulating or to see what items you should add to really enhance your meal options. |

I would suggest getting a 3 month supply of all of these items first, and then moving on to a full year's worth of food. You don't want to end up with a year's supply of wheat and unable to make even a loaf of bread because you don't have the other ingredients. Foods You Can Make Using Common Food Storage Items If You ONLY Have: Water, Wheat, Salt, Shortening or Oil You Can Make:Sprouted wheatCooked cracked wheatCooked whole wheatWheat grassGluten (a strange bread-type food that has a very high protein content)Tortillas And You Can Make the Items Above PLUS:Wheat puddingGerman pancakesCrepesPasta And You Can Make the Items Above PLUS:Puddings/custardsPancakesSome varieties of cookiesWafflesMuffins/English muffinsBreadsBiscuitsSome varieties of crackers And You Can Make the Items Above PLUS: Meatless dinnersMeatless casserolesCream saucesJello saladsWhipped cream dessertsBaby formula And You Can Make the Items Above PLUS:Lots of great chunky soupsChiliRefried beansRice dinnersRice puddingsSandwichesMany different dinners and casseroles And You Can Make the Items Above PLUS:A wide variety of almost any type of food you would want to cook As you can see, with a bit of planning (and a fabulous food storage recipe book on hand), you can be confident that you will be able to create healthy, filling, comforting meals for your family should a true emergency occur. It will also be helpful to start using and rotating through these foods in your every day cooking so that you can find the recipes your family likes, get them used to eating these foods, and ensure that all of your storage retains its maximum freshness.
