Latest Projects!
I love the produce basket that Doug made me out of scrap wood! And my first batch of sauerkraut is now canned and ready for the fall!
Although we are not growing enough fruits and vegetables in our gardens to sustain us through the year I love that we are doing 'something'! Each of us can do 'something' about filling our pantry, whether it's growing fruits and vegetables in our own gardens, renting garden plots like we do, buying from local farmers and purchasing food storage items at the store! There is 'something' we can do!
I finished updating my months worth of meals and making a list of what is necessary to create them throughout the year. I then made a grocery list with the amounts we need through the year and what we are short of. I will buy those items in the coming months. I refuse to go into debt to get our food storage up to date!
And we also updated our list of food storage basics and purchased what we needed to make them complete. This includes flour, sugars, oils, rice, beans etc. It feels good to have them in the food storage room ready to be used.
Food storage provides a comforting feeling when you realize that should there be an emergency we would have enough for ourselves and to share!
