Food Storage Recipe - Bean And Bacon Soup

This is so good. I am such a soup person. I can have soup everyday. This is a favorite in our house.

Bean and Bacon Soup

8 slices of bacon, cut into pieces

1 cup chopped celery

half cup chopped carrots

a fourth of a cup of chopped green onion

2 cans of navy beans, drained and rinsed

2 cups of chicken broth

1 cup water

Cook the bacon in a large saucepan until crisp. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Keep about 2 tablespoon of the bacon drippings in that saucepan. Add the celery, carrots, and onions. Cook until they are tender. Stirring frequently. Stir in the remaining items and let simmer until heated through. Add the bacon to the soup right before you serve it. Cornbread is good with this.

Did Not Go As Planned (Reorganizing)

Well, we wanted to reorganize the stockpile room. So Saturday night we got everything out of the room. Piling it all in the living room, kitchen, and hallway. Then hubby starts griping that it is not all stored like he had wanted it to be. Which, I said was why we had it all out , so that we could get it organized like we wanted it. But, I ended up taking it all back into the stockpile room. LOL

BUT, We have got plans for most of it. I am going to buy some more totes and label them for :Pasta, Rice, Beans, Flour, ETC. We also realized that we don't have a lot of canned meat items. I go through it so fast. So now I need to double up on stuff like that. Our stockpile gets used , but added to all of the time. So all of the dates were good. That was a good thing. We do need a lot more medical items and things like that. We also are going to try and get some extra money so that we can invest in a good water filtration system. We get Culligan delivered right now, but we want to get out of that. Sometimes they don't come when we need it and I end up having to buy bottled water from grocery. I hate doing that. Getting too expensive. But we have to have good water - our city water is awful here. Can't even drink it. Smells so bad and EPA has been here so many times. So, much safer to have water brought in. But we need some kind of water filter that gets EVERYTHING out.

All in all our stockpile is pretty good. Not sure how it would score, but for us it is all right. Just add to it like I have been, double up on canned meats, and get a good water filtration system and it will be all set.

Reorganizing The Stockpile

We are getting ready to reorganize our stockpile room. Hubby just got home and after being gone for a week the Little Man always is on him for a couple of hours. LOL Hopefully will be able to get it redone and sorted out by tomorrow night. Be a great way to clean it all up and get it sorted and hopefully find out what we still need. I am thinking about more medical supplies and items like that. We need more tools and stuff, also.

If I get it done I will post photos and ideas.

Making Your Own Toothpaste Is Simple

Want to share this. I have gotten a lot of "heat" over my post about using homemade toothpaste. But, of course, dentist are going to want you to use things that make your teeth bad so that you have to go to the dentist. LOL. If, everyone has good teeth , dentist make no money. But, of course, with the way the world is , you can never really tell what is true. Everything might be false. who knows anymore. Heck , maybe eating dirt will turn out to be the best. LOL
