Shelf Stable Saturday Sandwich Fillings

AAAAANNNNDDDD shortages in the news again. Costco is limiting toilet paper, there are rumors of toy shortages for Christmas and there are hundreds of ships sitting in ports with full containers just waiting to be unloaded. More and more we are going to be cooking and feeding our families with whatever we can find. I am trying to build up our list of shelf stable recipes and begin rebuilding our emergency food stash. The last couple of weeks I have been featuring recipes from Food Storage Made Easy . This week we are talking about shelf stable sandwich fillings. In addition to peanut butter and honey, you can buy canned chicken, canned tuna and Spam at most stores, which helps if you are experiencing shortages in your local stores. It gives more options, I have even seen these canned meats in places like Tractor Supply and Rural King! Here are some options using shelf stable ingredients to jump start your creativity. BBQ Chicken- canned chicken and bottled BBQ sauce Buffalo- cann

Shelf Stable Saturday and a recipe for creamy vegetable soup

Other weeks, it is because there is a lack of something. Lack of time, lack of ability to get to the store, lack of money can make an empty fridge. The question is, what to do? We'v

Monday Meal Planning and the Roll of Convenience Foods

Sorry for such a long blogging break. We are going through some stuff, and like last time, most of our meals ended up being hotdogs, spaghetti, carrot sticks, microwave potatoes or burritos, and sandwiches as well as a couple of meals gifted by family and friends. Trying to get back on track this week. The weather is warming up here, so this is probably the last week of oven meals for us. I'm glad I was able to stick to our budget while we were working through things, but that is mostly because we were gifted a few meals. Convenience foods are so much more expensive than homemade, except box mix mac and cheese, I maintain that is one convenience food that actually saves money. We could not have stayed on budget without help. On the surface, convenience goods seem like they cost less. The rice dishes for $1.25 seem like a good deal, but they are barely 4 servings, if they stretch that far, and they have no nutritional value. To make the same style of rice dish costs more initial
