A Preppers Best Friend - THRIFT STORES!!

 I love thrift stores so much. I have found so many prepping supplies, camping supplies, homeschool items, and more at them.
I don't get to go very much lately, but this past Wednesday I actually got to go by myself and found a lot of stuff. The best thing I got was this Metaltex USA Inc. Vulcano Drying Rack! This is going to be such a help while it is cold. I can't get out to hang my clothes up when it is too cold , so with this I can set it up in my kitchen and hang stuff up.

I also got a Stansport Folding Camp Stove Toaster! They are not a lot new, but I had a discount code for the thrift store so got this for 50 cents!!

You can find tons of items at thrift stores. I have gotten oil lamps, and so much more. 

Food Storage Recipe - 5 Can Soup

It is supposed to actually get cold here this week. Great time for a quick soup.
My son loves this soup. Usually have it with a grilled cheese sandwich.

1 can of diced tomatoes

1 can of whole kernel corn

1 can of ready to serve minestrone soup

1 can of mixed vegetables

1 can of drained black beans

Dump all of those cans into a big saucepan. Stir it up.

Cook it til it is hot and eat!!

That easy.

Food Storage Recipe - Biscuit Leftover Meat Pie

 

This is a good one for using up any leftover ground beef, leftover roast, leftover vegetables, and even chicken.

Maybe try with leftover turkey!

Put the meat into an Oven Proof Skillet . Add leftover diced potatoes, carrots, and chopped small onion.

I sometimes will also add leftover gravy if I have it. But, you can add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water.

Add any seasonings you like.

Cook on the stove until heated through.

Add a can of biscuits to the top and place in oven , cook until the biscuits are done.

YUMMY and a great way to use up leftovers.

Food Storage Recipe - Dried Bean Patties

This is a good one. I will use left over cooked navy beans.

 Mash up about 2 cups of cooked dried navy beans

 Add them to-
             about 1/2 a cup of chopped onion
             some parsley

 Beat that up and then add -
              2 egg yolks
              2 Teaspoon milk
             salt and pepper

 Shape the mixture into balls and flatten them into patties.
Dip them into flour.
 Fry them slowly until browned. I use leftover bacon fat to fry them in.

 We have eaten them as sandwiches on buns or just to go as a side dish .The great thing about this recipe is that you can change it up as you like. Even use other type of beans. Black beans are a great one to use. On the "burger" you can add all of your favorite toppings.
