You may have noticed that I haven’t posted in a while!  I have been working hard on my calling as the Food Storage and Preparedness Specialist for my ward.  It’s been a lot of fun and a lot of work!  I created a blog – www.preparednotscared.blogspot.com and have prepared a new post for each day of the week.

Each day of the week will focus on a different area of preparedness.  Our goal is to be prepared as a family both physically and spiritually.

Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:

Sunday: Vital Records Pages and Journal Pages

Monday: Family Home Evening Lessons

     Week 1: Primary Theme & Scripture

     Week 2:  Safety & Preparedness

     Week 3:  For the Strength of Youth/Mormonads

     Week 4:  Family History

     Week 5:  Family Service Project or Family Activity

Tuesday: Ark Prep 101 – Preparedness Topics

Wednesday:  Preparedness Project

Thursday:  Family Activities

Friday:  Preserve It . . . Canning Corner

Saturday:  Food Storage Meals & Menu Planning

By the end of the year, you should be well on your way to becoming more prepared!

We have added a link on the left side of the page.  Hope you enjoy!

It’s easy! We hope that you won’t feel overwhelmed or scared to take any recipe that your family loves and convert it into a “shelf-stable” recipe. By that, we mean that you can take any recipe you have and store ingredients that won’t spoil, can store without refrigeration, and will be long-term. If you really want to use your food storage and store food that you know you will eat, start converting your family favorites so that you can make them at anytime. Whether you have fresh ingredients or more long-term ingredients on your shelf, you’ll know you will be able to make a dinner that your family will love to eat.

Tricia has given you an example! She has created a table that converts her recipe into 3 areas: fresh ingredients, 3 month supply and long term. We’ve included a blank one for you! Use it to help you organize any recipe that you would like to convert to long-term! Most of all, we hope you’ll be excited to work on your food storage and see how easy it can be!
