August
Getting a slow start this month with school starting up again, but we'll be focusing on emergency/survival kits over the next few weeks. Just in time for September's National Preparedness Month when you'll get the chance to put your preparedness to the test!
I'm really excited because I just received my Goal Zero Nomad 7 solar-powered USB and 12V DC charging ports (I won't mention that I got it for FREE!)
I'm not a big proponent of bringing electronics with me out in the wild (though quite frankly, having a means of communication can be a lifesaver). But with all of our dependence on technology today, it seems impossible to avoid. If you're without electricity for more than a few days though, those electronics are useless. Enter the 13 oz foldable portable solar panels! With a USB and 12V DC charging port (includes 12V female cigarette adapter) it's perfect for charging cell phones, mp3 players, cameras, etc. Or hook up this battery pack to charge AA & AAA batteries! I can't wait to try mine out!
In the meantime, watch this video! And tell me if you get excited about it too!

Cooking with Food Storage
It is very similar to wheat, but is in fact higher in protein than wheat and has a nutty and slightly sweeter flavor. It is a common wheat replacement and DOES contain gluten. Grind it as flour, toss in a salad, or cook in soups and hot cereal. Watch Chef Brad cook with Spelt on BYUtv
Spelt can be purchased in a variety of sizes from Shelf Reliance. The largest bucket contains 42 pounds! For information, go here.

Short-Term Storage: Step 3
Make a Shopping List
How much food do you need for 3 months (or however long you decide)? Make a list of what you'll need. If you'd like to use my free food storage list/shopping organizer, click here. It's simple, and can take away some of the headache. (note: to see my organizer for purchasing long-term food storage, I'll be posting that shortly)
How? Let's assume I have these meals twice a month (obviously I'll need more recipes, but remember, this is just to get started). To have enough for 3 months I'll need to multiply each ingredient by 6. My shopping list will look like this:
Amy's 3-month Dinner Shopping List
24 cans tomato sauce (or 6 cups tomato powder)
6 cans diced tomatoes
7 1/2 C FD Beef
3 Cups Broccoli
6 cans Ckn Broth (6-8 tsp bouillon)
6 Cups Inst. Black Beans
12 cans corn (or 12 cups FD corn)
15 Cups FD Chicken
6 Cups instant red beans
3 lb Macaroni
12 Cups diced potatoes
6 C FD Sausage
4.5 pkg penne noodles
12 Cups mozz. cheese
6 pkg. frozen pie crusts (2-per pkg)
6 cans Crm-potato soup
6 cans mixed veggies
Decide what purchasing method works best for you -- I recommend choosing items as they come on sale then purchasing the entire amount of that ingredient. But do what's best for you and your budget. If you have any specific items that you would like to order from me, please view a complete list of products at: myfamilythrives.shelfreliance.com There are always specials going on, so be sure and check the sales tab above or ask me for more information.
