Short-Term Storage: Step 1

If you couldn't go to the grocery store for a few days, a few weeks, or a few months, what would you need in your pantry to eat the foods you use on a regular basis?  THIS is SHORT-TERM STORAGE.

Step 1:
(this should only take 3 minutes).  List the foods you eat regularly for each meal of the day.  Keep the list small.  Even if you can only think of one or two each, that's a great start.

Here are some of mine for an example:

BREAKFAST:

• pancakes
• oatmeal
• cereal
• scrambled eggs/sausage/hashbrowns
• french toast

LUNCH

• Grilled cheese sandwich
• Quesadillas
• PB & J
• Chicken Nuggets
• Nachos

DINNER

• Spaghetti
• Mexican Soup
• Minestrone Soup
• Penne Casserole
• Chicken Pot Pie
