1000 Blog Posts!

I really cannot believe that I have had this blog this long. I really want to write more on it , but now I am without a computer again and having to use my son's. I can sometimes use my Kindle to write , but not often. I have learned a lot while writing on this blog. Some things I thought that I knew and had all wrong. Other things that I really thought were things that I could never learn or do are things that I am actually good at. I have realized a few things also. We need to have some more like-minded people around us. I do not think that we can survive for long with just US! I hope that others have found my blog to be full of good information and hope to have more food storage recipes soon. I have some more ideas in my head to share and things that will be done soon. ENJOY!

While I am getting more things wrote up you can check out my archives. Tons of great information and food storage recipes.

Food Storage Recipe - Powdered Milk Smoothies

I always see these little smoothie kits at Costco that I am TOTALLY tempted to buy. Who wouldn't want to have easy, healthy, ready-to-blend smoothies sitting there just waiting to be eaten? The problem is they are so expensive I can never justify buying them. My sister-in-law clued me in to this system she has been using to make her own homemade smoothie kits and the best part is they use powdered milk so they are perfect for rotating through my food storage supply of milk.

Fruit and Yogurt Smoothies

Serving Size: 2 large glasses

Prep Time: 5 minutes (if you make a bunch of baggies ahead of time)

Ingredients:

3/4 cup of frozen strawberries

1/2 cup of frozen blueberries

1/2 cup of frozen peaches or raspberries

1 cup of powdered milk prepared*

5 ice cubes of fat-free strawberry yogurt (or any other kind)

Sugar or other sweetener to taste

*instead of water for the liquid part of the milk, you can use juice for the flavor and sweetness, and the powder to make it creamy!

Directions:

Pour milk into blender

Add fruit, blend

Add yogurt cubes, blend

Add sugar, blend

Eat with a spoon, or drink with a straw

Directions to prepare a bunch of smoothies for the go ahead of time:

Buy 8-10 ziploc baggies

Buy bags of your favorite frozen fruits (I did 2 strawberry, 1 peach, 1 blueberry)

Divide up your fruit into the baggies

Divide a large container of yogurt into ice cube containers and freeze

Once frozen place 5 yogurt cubes into each ziploc bag

Put bags into the freezer and use them up as you wish, all you'll need to add is the milk and sugar.

By having all of these smoothie packets available in my freezer I have a ready-made, simple, healthy, and delicious meal or snack on hand at all times. My family loves these smoothies and I can feel good about them eating them, knowing exactly what's inside. And the best part is, I no longer have to worry about using up the powdered milk from my food storage before it expires. I can always fall back on my trusted smoothies even if I don't do enough other baking to use up the rest. Having a husband who refuses to drink regular powdered milk makes it pretty difficult to find ways to sneak it into my cooking, but the smoothie trick works great!

DIY Instant Hand Warmers

It will be getting colder and you are going to need some of these to be able to make. Keep the items on hand so that you can make them anytime you will need one.  

DIY Instant Hand Warmers

Fill a large ziplock bag a quarter of the way with Calcium Chloride ice-melt pellets. You can get this at any hardware store.

 Fill a smaller ziplock bag , one that can fit into the bigger one, with water. Close it tight and put into the bigger bag with the ice-melt in it. Seal it tight. Squeeze the bags until the smaller one with the water breaks open.

This will create a heat producing reaction that will last from 20 minutes to an hour. Keep in your pockets to keep your hands warm.
