Last night we had a fantastic enrichment night. It was on ways to use your food storage. It really showed me that you should be learning how to use it, incase you ever have to, and also that it can save you quite a bit of money just on your regular groceries. I think about how many time I have to borrow an egg, or a little sugar, or oil or something, and I think that would be so nice to have some less expensive, less space required, easy to store items so I would never run out.
I also think it will take some time to adjust to the new ways, and also help the old body to get use to the new food. We sampled whole wheat pancakes, taquitos, spanish rice, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, crepes, chili, and angel food cake! It was wonderful, but I was running to the bathroom all night, I am just not use to that much wheat!
I think you could easily do wheat flour, eggs, and milk (in cooking--Sean warned me to not even try to give it to him to drink!) Due to the lunch preparation tips (ie. bagging snacks, making and freezing sandwiches ahead of time etc) I can already tell that I am saving money, and a lot of headache and time! Another thing they demonstrated for us was to make our own mixes ie. cookies, pancakes, instant oatmeal. I am totally going to try this!
First step: organize food storage to see what I have.
Second step: Assemble some recipes to try.
Third step: Hang on to your hats, it may be a crazy ride.
I will keep you posted along the way, and will share any great tips I find. If you have some good tips for me, let me know!
PS--Anne was feeling ill last night, and asked if I would make the angel food cake for her. She brought me everything, and it was really easy. During the presentation Cami said "We had other people bring some stuff, and they are going to tell us about it." So I was sweating it, and sure enough I needed to comment on it! I only did it, because it could be great blog material! Anne, you owe me BIG time!

I DO owe you big time!! I can't wait to hear more about your food storage journey. I REALLY wish I could have been at that enrichment last night!!
Michelle, you did great....and the angel food cake was great!! I am glad you enjoyed the evening.
That is a great idea!!! If you have any good, yummy recipes... please do share! We have gotten really good at being creative here! It is amazing what you can come up w/ when you don't have the option to run to the store to get what you want!
Eating food from scratch is SO much healthier too! We have gotten so much healthier, just by our move!
