Homemade Paint For The Kiddos!!

We have fun with this. Great way to make paint for the kids. I make this and let my son have fun.

1 cup salt

1 cup flour

1 cup water

food coloring

That is it. Mix it in plastic squeeze bottles or plastic bowls that have lids. Make sure they are somewhere that is safe to get paint on and wear old clothes. I find that the more food coloring I add the more it stains. That is the only bad thing about this. I set my sons table outside when it is warm and he can paint all day!!

The Survivalist Cookbook - Recipes for Preppers

The Survivalist Cookbook - Recipes for Preppers was free for the Kindle when I wrote this post. In a Survivalist or Doomsday scenario, you and your family still need to eat!

This book provides 75+ essential recipes and food tips you need to take in order to insure your and your family's health and survival

If you expect to survive the aftermath of doomsday, you need to be prepared to keep you and your family safe and health. You'll learn how to make breads and biscuits, beans and rice, stews and soups, beef and chicken, and even desserts to keep your children happy!

Doomsday can be unpredictable, like a hurricane or a devastating earthquake, giving people only a few hours or days to prepare. Some believe this will happen and some think it's all a bunch of superstition, but why even take the chance. Even if you don’t believe that doomsday is near, there are dozens of other natural disaster and man-made problem scenarios you and your family may face that require you to survive in situations you had never even dreamed of: job losses, house fires, localized or global war, famine.

Food Storage Recipe - Almost Instant Split Pea Soup

I love Split Peas soup, but hate how long it takes to cook it and wanted an easy way to make it. After making the Instant Refried Bean the other day I got to thinking about doing this to other items in my stockpile. I went onto Google and found this http://frugalabundance.com/gfcf/instant-split-pea-soup.htm and instantly had to do it. It was super easy. I took my bags of split peas and using my Magic Bullet I ground them up pretty quick. Now whenever I want some Split Peas soup it will be a quicker way to make them. Would be great for a survival situation also. Will not use as much cooking fuel to fix them I would think. Since it won't take as long to cook them. I have all of my Ham TVP bits that will work in this and dehydrated carrots and celery. All set to be able to make some awesome soup that has to a lot cheaper than buying the canned Split Peas soups. I am all about being frugal.
