Food Storage Recipe - Chicken A La King


This is a great way to use up left over chicken or to use your freeze dried chicken in. Like I have before. Just make the chicken up like it says to do on the #10 can. You could also use canned chicken in this recipe too, if that is all that you have on hand. I have used my Keystone canned chicken before in this and it was yummy. But this is a great recipe and good on toast. I had some Texas toast in the freezer that really worked good too.

Chicken A La King

3 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup

3 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup

2 cups water

1 (15 ounce) can peas

1 pound boneless chicken breast , cooked and diced or use your freeze dried chicken. Or canned chicken.

Combine cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup and water in a large pot or saucepan over medium low heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring, until heated through. Stir in peas, heat through, and serve over toast. This is such an easy and quick recipe. Serve it with a salad and you have a meal that your family will be asking for often. This is so easy though, that your kids could even make it for you.

One Acre Homestead

Do you dream of self-sufficiency, but you don't know if you'll ever own enough land to start a homestead?

One Acre Homestead: Planning for Self-Sufficiency and Financial Independence offers a detailed look at how one family can sustainably produce their own food on a one acre lot. In this book, the author attempts to answer the question "is self-sufficiency really possible on one acre of land?" by reflecting on her own journey and her family's one acre homestead design.

She considers the notion of self-sufficiency in terms financial independence and sustainable food production, boldly urging readers to reconsider their perspectives about the economy, take back their workday and put their energy to use by increasing the value of their own households. One-Acre Homestead features a simplified permaculture design for a one acre farm that produces the majority of the resident's food. Instead of investing in expensive livestock, the author recommends that homesteaders raise poultry, practice forest gardening and grow trees for biomass production in order to practice a no-till, sustainable gardening system. She claims that the homestead doesn't have to provide 100% of everything a family uses, but gardening zones should be established so that production can be maximized to meet the majority of a family's food needs in a crisis year.

As of this writing, One Acre Homestead, was free for the kindle.
