    Simple Recipes Using Food Storage gives you a doable plan to help you prepare.  For many of us, storing the food is much simpler than finding recipes that use them.

    My family uses the LDS principles of bulk food storage, and if you don’t use them on a regular basis it can be hard to make meals from wheat berries and powdered milk.

    Whether emergency strikes, your family falls on lean times, or you just need to rotate your food storage, you can use these recipes to make everything from breads and desserts to smoothies and soups.

    Having recipes that are easy and taste good – while using your food storage goes a long way to helping you use what you store.  This alone makes the book Simple Recipes Using Food Storage a worthwhile purchase.

    If you store food, you should get some cookbooks so you can follow the wisdom of eating what you store, and storing what you eat.

    This small cookbook is a good start on that wisdom.  I know that in my home, we are very busy during the week (who isn’t) and having simple recipes makes the difference between cooking and eating out.

    I am happy to say, we are out of Baby Formula Stage, little W.T. is getting bigger, so much so that we are now giving him much more water than milk, but when in we transitioned him off of breast milk, I looked up several recipes for “Emergency Baby Formula” I found this one from Prepared Not Scared to be the best.

    There is some controversy over this, as Breast Milk and Formula both have more “optimal nutrients” but many generations of babies were successfully raised on this or similar formulas (or even goats milk) – as with anything – use your own common sense and research.  I am not a doctor, so I am not qualified or legally able to give you advice on what is best for your baby.

    I will tell you, if it was this or nothing, it there is no question that I would choose to feed my child something like this rather than let them starve. Also, remember, cow’s milk is not readily digestible by young babies, hence the need for formula in the first place.  You can’t give a baby cow’s milk and expect them to thrive because the high protein is more than an infant’s kidney’s can handle.  Cow’s milk also does not have the right amounts of iron and vitamin C to fill your infant’s needs.

    Ingredients:

    • 1/3 cup plus 2 Tbsp. Instant Powdered Milk OR 1/4 cup Non Instant Powdered Milk
    • 1 1/2 cup Boiled Water
    • 1 Tbsp. Oil
    • 2 tsp. Sugar

    Procedure

    • Mix powdered milk and water together.
    • Blend thoroughly.
    • Add oil and sugar.

    If baby bottles are not available, milk can be spoon fed to an infant.
