Food Storage tip of the week

You food storage should be built up with food that your family likes and cooks with. If you don't have a wheat grinder, and aren't planning on getting wheat, don't store it. Store flour instead. If you don't like lentils, store a different bean instead. You should be rotating 0ut your food storage because you are eating it. Replenish as you go. There are a lot of good sites that have how much of different things to store. Each has a specified amount for Grains, sugars, beans, etc. You can take that and make it to fit your family. Use the suggestions and than modify it. Here are a few different site. Find one that works for you. Also if there are others out there that you like please leave a comment.

  1. I just came back from my sister's in Thatcher, where she has been working on her storage incredibly! Her ward watched tapes from Wendy Dewitt... who has a great program. Maybe we could have an enrichment night to watch and get ideas? I'd be happy to help. I'm planning on using a lot of her ideas, they're great!!
