Food Storage Use and Management: Sample Basic Menu

Are you guys ready for today? Of course! We are going to plan and cook using our food storage! Hooray!!! "This Menu is given to show that you can maintain a semblance of traditional meals even if all you have are the BASIC foods." (Once Upon the Ark) When this is complete, you will each have access to one week of meals that focus on food storage. And, you will have the recipes to accompany them. Cooking with food storage - I love it! And if you don't already, you will!

This Menu is given to show you that you can maintain a semblance of traditional meals even if all you have are the BASIC foods...Well!...I assume that you do have a few spices, herbs, and seasonings" (Once Upon the Ark).

Food Storage Use and Management: Sample Basic Menu

Good morning, everybody! Today I am going to give you a sampling of what and how you can eat if all you had were the BASICS. My grandma wrote a book titled Once Upon the Ark a couple years ago and included this menu. My plan is to get you excited about this, and then I'll show you how to do it over the next couple weeks. To wet your whistle, I'll begin with four days, and we can continue the last three on Tuesday. Shall we get started?
