Food Storage Recipe - A Simple Breakfast!

 

I fried up some Dehydrated Potato Shreds with some spam cut up in it. Made some scrambled eggs and put some shredded cheese on the hash browns. Such a simple breakfast and there is never any left. 

The Dehydrated Potato Shreds is my favorite #10 item to have on hand. I need to order some more. Used up the last of my last can on this. You can also use them in soups and casseroles.

Empty #10 Cans - What To Do With Them??

 I have another empty #10 can from using up my Dehydrated Potato Shreds . They are great to keep and can do a lot of things with them. I am trying to think of some new ways to use them. I have a box full of them. In different sizes. Might make a hobo stove out of this one. Starting to warm up and could be a way to cook outside and keep on hand if power goes out. 

Can you give me ideas on how to use them??

Recycle Used Candles

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gather all of your partly used candles and place them in a metal coffee can or a pan that you can just use for melting candles in. Melt the candles down in a double burner style, coffee can inside a bigger pan with water boiling in it. Remove all of the wicks with a fork. Place a longer, new piece of wick into the center of the mold that you are using as you pour the wax into it. When the wax cools and sets completely remove it from the mold. Now you have a new bigger candle. You can get Candle Wicks online for a pretty low price. This is a great way to always have candles of a good size and not throw any candles out. Melt them down and reuse the wax.
