Food Storage

I wanted to talk about food storage for a moment. About 5 years ago I realized that common food storage was a good idea, in fact in some cases it is excellent. As many or some of you may know I am in the middle of a health crisis and when these over take me I am not functional on many levels and can become grouchy to the max because of it. I like being fully in control of my life and derive pleasure in making my husband a happy clam and cooking for him. I find myself digging into my food storage on several levels. I have created simple meals by combining simple ingredients found in basic food storage, bagging them together using a meal and seal, which gives me good meals from simply boiling some water and adding ingredients. There are several good books out about this that even have preprinted labels you can copy and use with the directions for making the dish and what additional they will need. So what is usually used to go camping with or a meal in a pinch has become a staple that is saving me from grumpydom! One of the books I would suggest if you are interested in this sort of thing include....Dinner is in the Jar...by Kathy Clark. More on this topic later...
