Food Storage Recipes

By Hedrick Lepsch


Having food storage items is a great way to prepare yourself for many different kinds of emergencies, but if you don't like the food you are storing, you will never eat it. So as you search for food storage foods, make sure that you are choosing foods that you and your family will actually eat.

Another important aspect of food storage is using the food and cycling through before it expires, so your food storage will always be fresh. Finding ways to use your food storage items can be difficult, but with some great recipes, it can be really fun, and a great way to make the most of your budget.

Does your child sometimes pretend he is a swashbuckling buccaneer? If so, you may try serving him an applicable dinner. Dine on fish and other types of seafood. Store bought fish sticks are fairly nutritious and are easy to cook in the oven.You might try making your own fish sticks if you feel that the store bought variety isn't fresh enough. Just go the seafood counter at your local grocery store and purchase a nice slab of fish.

The type of fish doesn't really matter, as long as your child thinks it is delicious. Take your fillet of fish home and store it in the refrigerator or freezer until the day of your planned meal.In order to prepare your own fish sticks, you will need to slice the fillet into bite-sized strips. Next, prepare a mix of breadcrumbs.When your breadcrumbs are ready, coat each one with an even layer. You can cook your own fish sticks just as you would those that come in a box.

For snacks you can make things like bread, muffins, and pretzels. These kinds of foods are great for any occasion, and in case of an actual emergency, you will be able to keep your stomachs full and happy with good warm food inside. Breads are great for using pantry staples like flour, water, and salt. You should make sure that all of these items are current and in your food storage.

When one thinks of cowboys, one thinks of cooking around a campfire. An open fireplace can serve as your campfire for the night, but be careful not let your children get to close to the flames.If it is warm outside, you might try building a small fire over which you and your children can cook some nutritious foods. Just make sure to keep your kids out of harm's way.Whatever your child imagines himself to be, you can adapt a dinner night to his particular interests. Get creative and use a little bit of imagination.

Another way to keep dinner time from becoming boring to your children is to involve them in a conversation about their activities and interests. Some adults find it hard to carry on a conversation with a child. By asking the right questions, however, you can get your child to really open up about school, play, and other points of interest. If your child is in kindergarten or elementary school, ask him what he learned that day at school.

While it is important to reinforce his education, it is just as important to discuss your child's social life. Ask him to tell you about his friends at school. Making your child feel significant is a good way to keep him from wanting to leave the dinner table early to play. When a child knows that he is going to be able to tell his parents about his day and interests during dinnertime, he will come to appreciate that time.

When it comes to your food storage, you should make sure it contains foods that you and your family will enjoy. Having great food storage can help you to have comfort in hard times and a supply of food that will keep you happy and full. Keeping your ingredients safe with vacuum sealed bags will help you have access to more freshness!
