Cooking With Stockpile!! Frugal Meal Idea!!

Here is another frugal meal idea that I make often. I always have these items in my stockpile.

1 box of Macaroni & Cheese
1 can of water packed tuna
1 can of cream of chicken soup

cook the macaroni as the box says to do it , add the cheese, drained tuna, and cream of chicken soup. Your done. We crunch of crackers and put that on top of our serving and it is really good.
The great thing about this is that it is fast and you can use any kind of creamed soup you want. Cream of mushroom, cream of broccoli, etc - you get the idea. But, this is a super cheap and easy meal. Maybe try the macaroni with a small can of can ham with the cream of broccoli. That sounds good.

Very frugal.

Thought That I had Broke My Foodsaver!

I was so scared yesterday. I was doing up some corn and silly me did not think about anything and just started up my FoodSaver and all of a sudden it quit on me and the light went out. I opened it up and the bag is not sealed and the foodsaver is full of water (corn juice)!! I hurried up and dried it out with a towel in a panic. I plugged it back in and NOTHING! No light or noise. So I stuck it out on the back porch opened and up on its side! I was hoping all day that it was not broke and that I would still have it. Last night I brought it in, plugged it in, and it came on. I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief. There was no way that I would have been able to buy a new one.
PLEASE learn from my mistake and do not try to vacuum seal something that has juice in it. I learned the hard way and almost lost my FoodSaver.

15 Bean Soup

Finally did some of the 15 bean up in FoodSaver bags. And added to my food stockpile. I am really getting more and more serious about having food stored up. I do not want my kids going hungry at all.

Strategic Relocation--North American Guide to Safe Places

This is a book that we all need. A great resource for finding the perfect and safest place to move our families too. Over 400 pages full of usefull info.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION :
This is the long-awaited update of Mr. Skousen's classic book on relocation for security. Nearly 3/4 of this 3rd Edition is rewritten and it is expanded to 400 pages. In the process, the authors created all new graphics, charts and tables. There is also a new section on international retreat potential and 200 additional pages of analysis on every state and province of the US and Candada, complete with color maps.
The maps are chock full of detail, including private and public land use, satellite terrain features, military target areas, roads and graphic depictions of population density---one of our major threats to security in a crisis.

Despite the ongoing illusions of peace and prosperity, our world is getting less stable, not more. The economic foundations of the US and the world are all based on fiat money and are crumbling. Earthquakes, Hurricanes, War and terrorism are ever present threats, and the secondary effects of social unrest in large metropolitan areas will be disruptive and dangerous if there is a shortage of essential commodities that cause people to panic.

When you relocate or retire your prime concern should be long-term security, not recreation. Sometimes you can have both. This book is designed to help you relocate around serious threats and to develop contingency plans when you can't relocate due to work or family ties.

Strategic Relocation is more than just pointing out safe areas--simply because the safer the area, the harder it is, generally, to make a living and have access to the conveniences of life. For these reasons, relocation decisions are fairly complex, and Mr. Skousen walks you through all of the difficult choices and compromises that are inevitable in finding safety, without being totally isolated. This book has answers for nearly every situation.

99 Bags Of Beans On The Wall....

Well not quite, but 22 bags of beans have been added to my stockpile. I took our 25 pound bag of baby Navy beans that I got from Honeyville and bagged them into 1 pound bags ( some are a little bit over) using my FoodSaver V2040 Vacuum-Packaging Systemand have them now stored away for when we want to use them. I have been storing up canned hams and TVP ham. So this is a pretty good idea for storing foods. Beans are very good for you. It did not really take me too long to do this. I still have a 20 pound bag of 15 bean mix that I am wanting to do this with also. Maybe sometime in the next week.

Getting Ready To Home School

I have been actually teaching our little one ever since he was born, but this year I have REALLY gotten serious about it. Been buying school books, writing paper, flash cards, chalk board, etc. Everything that a 4 year old should have to be home schooled. His birthday falls to late to be put into the Kindergarten here. Which I am really glad about. I planned on home schooling him even when I was pregnant with him. I home schooled his older brother and sister, and they are doing great. My daughter graduates college this year and my son graduates high school this year. So I must have done something ok. You just have to know that every child learns in a different manner. My daughter had to be shown, but my son had to listen and hear the stuff. My little one now has taken to number very quickly - counting , adding , subtracting like crazy, but he is having trouble with letters and writing. Not sure why. Trying to figure it out so that he can learn them better. He knows his ABC's , but has not taken to letters like he did numbers. Maybe he will grow up to own a bank. LOL Just takes time to home school. It is not easy, it is truly a a labor of love.
It does not have to cost a lot of money either. There are many low-cost courses online for assistance, but if your more traditional, you can use the library". You can find other home schooling families in your area and share items. I have also gotten a lot of home schooling books at thrift stores. It can be a low cost thing to home school, if you use your head.

Cooking With Stockpile!! Frugal Meal Idea!!

I made my favorite meal last night for dinner! I call it my own hash! I take a half pound of ground beef, slice some potatoes, add onion - put it all into a frying pan and let it cook until beef is done and potatoes are tender. Sometimes I have sour cream that I add to it. Sometimes I even add cream cheese if I have it. It is really cheap , simple , and yummy. I have made it for years. I have a can of TVP beef that I am going to use the next time to see how good it is with that. Shouldn't be too bad.
