Well, I told you from the start that I'm not very good at blogging. So it's been a while since my first and last post, but I'm still trying.
I've been working on food storage for a while now, building up to the one-year supply. But recently it's hit home even harder than usual. With all of the devastation going on from earthquakes around the world, I've realized the real importance of preparing a one-year supply of food storage for my family. I've also been discussing the topic with some friends at work, and they asked me for some resources. I found some great ones.
Emergencies definitely count as sticky situations, but preparing ahead of time with food storage and emergency kits can make those stick situations much easier to bear. So I figured I'd share some resources with all of you (although I don't even know if anyone's reading this yet). That way we can beat these sticky situations together!
About.com found some fantastic resources for food storage. Go to www.about.com and type in "food storage." The first site to show up is a food storage calculator where you enter the number of people in your family, and it calculates the amounts you'd need of certain foods to fee your family for a full year. AWESOME! There are also articles for emergency preparedness, meal planning, etc.
I love this one because it's SO practical, something I desperately need... www.everydayfoodstorage.net teaches you not only what is needed for food storage, but also how to cook with your food storage items. I think that's a part we often miss. We load up on all these great item
s that will practically last forever, but we never use them because we don't know what to do with them. This blog will take care of that with some of the most delicious recipes!
Safely Gathered In (http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/) has a variety of articles from planning a 3-month or a long-term food supply to emergency car kits, water storage, and emergency preparedness, etc. There’s a food storage inventory list, 3-month meal calendars, etc. One-Stop Food Storage Shop is what I would call this blog.
And if you have any others, I'd love to know about them!
