Food Storage Recipe - Peanut Butter Icebox Pie

I Just realized this morning, that it has been a while since I have shared a recipe. So here is a new one. Great for summer.

NEED:

8 ounces of cream cheese

1/3 cup of peanut butter

9 inch graham cracker pie crust

1/4 cup chopped peanuts

1 cup powdered sugar

1 small container of non-dairy whipped topping

Whip the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy.

Beat in the sugar and the peanut butter.

Fold in the whipped topping.

Pour into the crust.

Sprinkle the top with the chopped peanuts and chill in the fridge.

How To Roast Sunflower Seeds

Cover unshelled seeds with salted water, using 1/4 to 1/2 cup of salt per two quarts of water. Soak seeds in the salt solution overnight. Drain off the water the next morning and pat the seeds dry to remove excess moisture. (You can also roast the seeds unsalted, by simply skipping the soaking process).

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the sunflower seeds evenly on a cookie sheet or shallow pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. The seeds will often develop a small crack down the center as they roast. Test after each stirring to see if the seeds are completely roasted by tasting. After roasting, remove seeds from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Then store the seeds in an airtight container for future snacking.

Sunflowers!!!

Not sure why I never thought to grow sunflowers before, but I just ordered some seeds for my Little Man (Green Thumb) to grow for us. We have the perfect spot on the south side of our house for them to grow us some great sunflower seeds to snack on. Great for munching on while hiking. Sunflower, Mammoth Russian, 20+ Seeds Organic Newly Harvested, 7-10 Foot Tall should be here soon. Just in time to plant them!

ORGANICALLY GROWN IN MY SEED GARDEN, HARVESTED AND PACKAGED BY HAND IN RESEALABLE AIR TIGHT BAGS (EACH BAG IS INDIVIDUALLY LABELED). EACH PURCHASE INCLUDES A FULL PAGE SEED FACT SHEET AND PLANTING/GROWING INSTRUCTIONS. ALL SEED LOTS ARE TESTED FOR GERMINATION. THE LISTING PICTURE IS FROM MY SEED GARDEN If you love Sunflower seeds fresh from the garden -- or if you'd like to attract the birds that feast on these delectable treats -- Russian Mammoth is the Sunflower you MUST grow. Not only are the seeds delicious, but the flowers are lovely, reaching up to 14 inches wide! Russian Mammoth is an heirloom variety, and we are proud to make it available in Organic seed form. This plant reaches 8 to 10 feet tall, just right for leaning against (and over!) a fence or wall, its huge yellow-petaled faces nodding cheerfully. Its blooms reach anywhere from 8 to 14 inches wide, each boasting a huge brown-black center stuffed with seeds. This is a very heat- and drought-resistant variety, having stood the test of time for generations. You will love the ease with which is grows and blooms. And you'll also love the nutrition found in every seed. Did you know that sunflower seeds are 24% protein -- richer in that mineral than any other food except egg yolks and liver? And it also contains other minerals, vitamins, and essential acids. Talk about a healthy snack! Direct-sow these seeds long after the ground has warmed up in spring. Make sure the soil drainage is good, and that the plant receives as much sunlight as possible. Stake it to prevent the young stalks from snapping or toppling. Flowers from seed in 80-90 days Zones 3-10 All seeds are packaged and for the current growing season. Please see my other seed listings to add to your garden

Do you want to get started prepping, but don't have enough money to cover your expenses now, let alone start prepping for the future?

When you're living paycheck to paycheck it's tough to look ahead and start planning for the future. While you may not think you can afford to stockpile food and supplies for an emergency situation, the reality is you can't afford not to.What kind of shape would you be in if there was a disaster right now that cut you off from the outside world? How long would you survive?

Think about the potential cost of inaction.

Your family is counting on you to see them through an emergency. If you aren't prepared, you're going to have to depend on the kindness of others. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather be self-reliant, especially in this day and age.

The time to start prepping is now. You need to be prepared for emergency.

You know you need food and gear, but until now you thought purchasing it was out of reach. You don't have to shell out thousands of dollars at a time preparing for the future. The tips and tricks in The Poor Man's Prepping Guide will enable you to slowly but surely build up a respectable cache of food and supplies.

For less than the price of a cup of coffee, buy this book now and start prepping for the future.
