Got Food Storage?

Do you know how to use it?

We follow the Prophet and get our food storage, but it seems that so many of us stop there, (I'm guilty too, but getting better). If you don't have your longer term supply, continue to work on that. If you do have your supply, even if it's just a start, your next task is to figure out how to use it.

There is a link on the right side of the page in 'links' that will help you out. http://www.everydayfoodstorage.net/ is my favorite site that really shows you how to use all that food and how to incorporate it into your every day meals.

This does several things; it gets you used to using your food storage so that the food is not foreign and in a crisis you won't have added stress, it helps you with your rotation plan (you have one right?), it saves you money by using what you have stored and didn't have to run to the store for, Your body needs to adjust to 'food storage' type foods if you aren't using them regularly, and when you learn how to use your storage, you can then go and teach others.

I am an 'Everydayfoodstorage FANATIC' and check for new stuff on a daily basis, I suggest you take some time and take a look around this fabulous site.

Wendy Dewitt presentation....

WOW! We had over 600 people show up for the Food Storage Class. I was so impressed. She did a fantastic job in making food storage so doable. With her permission, we did record the event. So watch for that in the coming days. We'll figure out how to make it available to as many as want to see it. In the mean time, take a look at Sister Dewitt's blog here.

Frustrated?

When the task of "preparing every needful thing" seems to overwhelm you to the point of not making any progress at all, remember that you are not alone.


God's Answer to Life's Frustrations. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it.

You say, "It's impossible."
God says: "All things are possible." (Luke 18:27)

You say, "I'm too tired."
God says: "I will give you rest." (Matt 11:28-20)

You say, "Nobody really loves me."
God says: "I love you". (John 3:16 - John 13:34)

You say, "I can't go on."
God says: "My grace is sufficient." (II Cor. 12:9 - Psalm 91:15)

You say, "I can't figure things out."
God says: "I will direct your steps." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

You say, "I can't do it."
God says: "You can do all things in Me." (Phil 4:13)

You say, "It's not worth it."
God says: "It will be worth it." (Romans 8:2)

You say, "I can't forgive myself."
God says: "I forgive you." (I John 1:9 - Romans 8:1)

You say, "I can't manage."
God says: "I will supply all your needs." (Phil 4:19)

You say, "I'm afraid."
God says: "I have not given you a spirit of fear." (II Tim. 1:7)

You say, "I'm always worried and frustrated."
God says: "Cast all your cares on ME." (I Peter 5:7)

You say, "I don't have enough faith."
God says: "I've given everyone a measure of faith." (Romans 12:3)

You say, "I'm not smart enough."
God says: "I give you wisdom." (I Cor. 1:30)

You say, "I feel all alone."
God says: "I will never leave you or forsake you." (Heb. 13:5)

Q. What do I do with all this stuff?

A. Use it, that's what. How many things do you think you can make with wheat? how about beans, what about oats? If you're answer to that is; wheat bread, bean soup, and oatmeal, then you need to think again and get yourself educated about 'back to basic' cooking.

The following link will get you off to a good start, you'll start to think differently about how to use your basics and hopefully have fun doing it.

I'd love to hear about your successes and do-overs as well. Take pictures, email them to me and I'll put them on the blog for all to see. We can certainly learn from one another.

The recipes above should be printed out and included in your RED emergency binder. (Remember that assignment)

Happy baking.

Q. How can I eat this elephant??

A. One bite at a time...(just take the first bite, ...please)


Too much to do, not enough time, money, space, knowledge? (you pick the reason/excuse)

Do you ever feel like this food storage monster is too big to even bother with?

Are you frustrated because you think that you'll never have your 'years supply'?

Take comfort and realize that we are not alone in your efforts, Our Savior is very aware of our struggles and the intent of our hearts and is just waiting for us to walk through the door of obedience so that he can pour out His blessings upon us.

Do the very best you can with what you have and YOU WILL BE BLESSED!
