How is your three months of storage coming? Do you have a plan? If so, keep pluggin' along. You'll get it. If you don't have a plan for your three month supply, lets make one together. To start, make a menu: seven breakfasts, seven or fourteen dinners. Seven's easier to plan, fourteen gives you more options.
- Write the recipes for each breakfast and dinner down.
- If you do seven meals, multiply the ingredients by 13 to find out exactly how much of each item you need for three months. If you do fourteen, you can multiply all of the meals by seven or half by seven and half by six. It's up to you.
- Make a master shopping list.
- Begin shopping always remembering to stick to your budget. Little by little you will cross all the items off. Just be persistent and patient.
This month we are working on gathering wheat for our longer-term storage. Even though I can't eat whole wheat, I know this grain is essential and we need to learn to use it. Hmmm...maybe I should finely sit down and learn to sprout it. Orson Hyde said "There is more salvation in wheat than in all the powers of men combined."
Just think about that for a second.
