Doing this you will know exactly what ingriedients you need and how much. You can do a 1 week menu (7 dinners), or a 2 week menu (14 dinners).<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How this changes your food storage</span><br /><br />You will only be storing things you know you eat.<br /><br />You know what you will be making with the ingredients when you rotate them out.<br /><br />You know the amount your buying will last the entire time.<br /><br />I love this! There is no guessing if the amount your buying will be to much or to litte. You don't have to find some obscure recipe to use your storage. It's simple and can be done for breakfasts and lunches too. Best of all you know your families will like the meals and eats them.<br /><br />I encourage you all to take time this month to come up with your own menu. Attached is a sample of my personal 2 week dinner menu. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Anyone who is willing to share their menus please send them to me so I can post them.

I announced it on Sunday but some of you might not have been there. You should be able to print an order form or fill one out onlline which ever works best for you. Let me know if you have any questions. <br /><br />ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI<br /><br />On July 31st, we will be putting together 3,6,9, or 12 months worth of spaghetti dinner kits for food storage. The amount you get will depend on how much you feel you can spend. There are a few options to choose from. These meals are based on a two-week dinner menu. <br />• First you will need to decide how much of each ingredient you will need for one meal. <br />• Then you will times each ingredient by 26 weeks (if you are doing a years supply.)<br />• You may choose to order 1/2lb of noodles or 1lb of noodles per meal based on the amount your family will need to eat. <br />• Next decide what kind of sauce you would like to purchase, premade jars/cans or homemade. (Note you may have to add some ingredients for you homemade sauce that are not on the order form if you use a different recipe.)<br />• Those ordering the premade sauce will need to purchase your own cans or jars to assemble with your kits. We will only provide the noodles and Mylar bags.<br />• Those ordering homemade sauce have to option of leaving the meat out. (FYI, leaving the meat out will lower the price significantly)<br />• Then total the price amount for each item and the final total.<br />• We will assemble the kits into Mylar bags to extend the life of the ingredients.<br /><br />DON’T MISS THE SPAGHETTI LUNCH<br /><br />Here are some estimated prices<br /> <br /> <br />1 years supply <br />• 1lb noodles OR 1/2lb noodles <br />• 1lb OR 1/2lb homemade sauce with meat<br />Total Price: $135.40 OR $79.70<br /><br /><br />9 month supply<br />• 1lb noodles OR 1/2lb noodles<br />• 1lb OR 1/2lb homemade sauce with meat<br />Total Price: $101.55 OR $59.78<br /><br /><br />6 month supply<br />• 1lb noodles OR 1/2lb noodles <br />• 1lb OR 1/2lb homemade sauce<br />Total Price: $67.70 OR $39.85<br /><br />3 month supply<br />• 1lb noodles OR 1/2lb noodles <br />• 1lb OR 1/2lb homemade sauce<br />Total Price: $33.85 OR $19.93<br /><br />1 year supply<br />• 1lb OR 1/2lb noodles<br />• premade jar sauce not included<br /><br />Total Price: $17.66 OR $9.52<br /><br /><br />9 Month Supply<br />• 1lb OR 1/2lb noodles<br />• premade jar sauce not included<br /><br />Total Price: $13.25 OR $7.14<br /><br /><br />6 month supply<br />• 1lb OR 1/2lb noodles<br />• premade jar sauce not included<br />Total Price: $8.83 OR $4.76<br /><br />3 month supply<br />• 1lb OR 1/2lb noodles<br />• premade jar sauce not included<br />Total Price: $4.42 OR $2.38<br /> <br />For questions, call Mandi Allen: 623-243-5191<br />mandibell@gmail.com<br /><br /><a href="http://chris.theallenclan.org/spaghetti_order_form.xls"><span style="font-weight:bold;">EXCEL ORDER FORM</span></a><br /><br /><a href="http://chris.theallenclan.org/spaghetti_order_form.pdf"><span style="font-weight:bold;">PDF ORDER FORM</span></a>The specialisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00925766385130280193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5515215197727454906.post-3271640190777536272010-01-03T15:28:00.000-08:002010-01-10T19:22:36.111-08:00January Food Storage Monthly<div align="left"><em><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">At one time or another, nearly every family will face accidents, illness, unemployment, or other emergencies that will require them to depend on the resources they have stored.<br />“Are You Prepared?,” Ensign, Aug 2007<br /></span></strong></em><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> Something about the start of a new year, brings upon the rushing desire for change and a better year.

Hopefully you will find it as beneficial as I. With these food storage challenges I incourage you to use all of your resourecs. You can purchase items from the cannery, the grocery stores, or other sites that sisters have shared.

It is a nice feeling and I don't feel so burdened like I used to. It used to be an undefeatable task. But now that we know exactly what we will be making, and how much we need of things it seems so much easier. Now I just have an excess of cornmeal, mashed potatoes and some other things in my pantry that won't become a part of our food storage. Anyone in need of some cornmeal?<br /><br />So Chris and I sat down and planned out two weeks worth of dinners that we thought would be best in our food storage. Then we found out how many pints of beans we would need for each dinner for the year. We used a good chunk of our Christmas budget and were able to get a whole years worth of beans canned. We were planning on doing 6 months worth of chicken as well, but weren't able to get all of the jars we needed to do so. So soon we will have 6 months worth of chicken as well.<br /><br />I'm pretty confident that by the end of the year we will have a years supply of food, that will last longer than a year and be easier to rotate out and save to replace.The specialisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00925766385130280193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5515215197727454906.post-37679792156478654172009-12-08T13:10:00.000-08:002009-12-08T13:11:29.217-08:00Jiffy MixWalmart has the corn bread jiffy mixes on sale for .25 right now.The specialisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00925766385130280193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5515215197727454906.post-11753376581377741952009-12-06T13:47:00.000-08:002009-12-06T13:51:28.368-08:00December Food Storage Monthly/Challenge<strong>I passed out a paper copy at church</strong><br /><br /><strong>December Food Storage Monthly</strong><br /><br /><em>Decide as a family this year that 25 or 50 percent of your Christmas will be spent on a year’s supply. Many families in the Church spend considerable sums of money for Christmas. Half or part of these Christmas monies will go a long way toward purchasing the basics. I recall the Scotsman who went to the doctor and had an X-ray taken of his chest. Then he had the X-ray gift-wrapped and gave it to his wife for their anniversary. He couldn’t afford a gift, but he wanted her to know his heart was in the right place. Brethren, give your wife a year’s supply of wheat for Christmas, and she’ll know your heart is in the right place. (Bishop Vaughn J. Featherstone Second Counselor in the Presiding Bishopric)<br /></em><br /><strong>This month’s food storage challenge is to sit down and figure out where you are at and set a plan.</strong> My husband and I have been actively working on our food storage for about 5 years now. We even took out a chunk of money to purchase a 3 months’ supply of what we felt should be in our food storage. Through the years we have learned what things we would actually use and things that were on our list, because of old traditions and cooking.<br /><br />Today we really do not have storage at all. What happened to our 3 month supply you ask? It got eaten with all the other pantry food. We use to stock our pantry. That was our food storage and we “rotated it out.” I was racking my brain trying to figure out how come I couldn’t keep things stocked up. Then it was finally brought to my attention that we needed to have a separate pantry and food storage. A storage that you don’t rotate for 1,3,5,30 years. However long the longevity of the food is. Then you rotate that into your pantry and restock the storage. Since you will have different shelf lives you won’t have to be repurchasing everything at once.<br /><br />We have also learned that you don’t have to store things you don’t cook with, won’t cook with, or don’t like. You might think well duh, but tradition says you need to store wheat, rice, beans and powdered milk, and other ingredients that you may have never cooked with. <strong>If you desire here is part two of this month’s challenge.</strong><br /><em></em><br /><em>Take 14 note cards and write down 7 breakfasts and 7 dinners that you would like to have once a week for one year. There are 52 weeks in the year, so you will be having these meals 52 times. Write on the left side of the card everything it takes to make the meal and on the right side everything multiplied by 52. Don’t forget to add the water you will need for cooking. My food storage has 14 dinners (x 26 weeks) 7 breakfasts (x 52 weeks) a daily loaf of bread (x 365 days) and a variety of desserts. This is a very simple system that saves time and money because you only store what you need and will eat. It can easily be adapted from a years’ supply to a 2 weeks’ supply or a 3 months’ supply. </em><br /><br />After reading this from Wendy Dewitt’s book, my husband and I started to realize how much we were trying store, with really no plan. We just guessed how much we might need for a year. I’ve wondered how we would really have fared. This system is so exact that you know you will have exactly what you need, no more no less. It’s simple and I think it brings an ease to putting together you food storage.<br /><br /> <strong>Let me know if you would like a CD from the Food Storage Fair.

It's a huge store with probably anything you'd want to store including containers of all types. The pricelist is in Adobe Reader and is 14 pages long. I hope Honeyville succeeds here as they're our only option for most of these items. I have had to pick up things in SLC or Brigham City in the past, so we're grateful for this store. Feel free to share the Price list with others in your ward - especially your food storage specialists<br />Or canning specialists if they aren't aware of this store.<br /> They have all kinds of grains, flours, baking supplies (including cupcake cups 500 for $4.19 - much cheaper than supermarkets. You might want to browse through the pricelist. They have lots of things in bulk and also In cans. They also have a gluten free section on bottom of p 11 and top of p 12. I don't know how those prices compare to other gluten free products since I > don't buy those.<br /><br />HeidiThe specialisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00925766385130280193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5515215197727454906.post-69400915095197893802009-11-30T14:30:00.000-08:002009-11-30T14:31:32.409-08:00Storage Life of foodHow long can that bottle of ketchup stay in your fridge before it goes bad?

Ask her if you have questions.<br />Did you know that you can store dry goods in PETE plastic containers? I guess the church is doing this in third world countries where they need to store food, but don't have canneries. Here's a link that tells you how <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Storing_Bulk_Dry_Foods_in_PETE_Bottles_using_Oxyge/">http://www.instructables.com/id/Storing_Bulk_Dry_Foods_in_PETE_Bottles_using_Oxyge/</a>.

My family uses a variety, white sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar. I know lots of people who buy two kids of flours as well. Whatever your family uses buy. Don't store something that you don't use. Good luck.
