I am always trying to find things for my kids to eat for snacks that are so "junky", like chips etc. I was given this recipe a while ago. I cannot remember where I got it from , but my Little Man loves it!
Homemade "Ice Cream"
A few bananas that are a bit overripe - not too overripe
2 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoon of cocoa powder
Peel your bananas and slice them up. Put them in the freezer until they are frozen. Put them into a food processor and pulse them until they turn into mush. You will need to push the sides down to get the bananas down and keep them pulsing. After a few minutes of scraping the sides down and pulsing the bananas should have a creamy texture. When they look like whipped ice cream you can add the peanut butter and cocoa. You could also add anything else that your family likes ~ berries, chocolate chips, etc. This is like soft serve ice cream. You can freeze it for a few minutes to get a firmer texture. But we find that the soft serve is great.

10 Foods That Will Never Go Bad
I can't overemphasize how important it is to have a backup food supply. Most people buy lots of freeze-dried food, MRE's, food bars and similar items. But unfortunately, these are usually WAY overpriced and not particularly healthy. You're actually far better off preparing for the future by going to a place like Walmart or Costco, and here are some foods you should get while you're there. The best thing about these foods is they'll almost never go bad.
Sugar. Although it's unhealthy to eat it on a regular basis, you'll be glad you have it in a crisis. Sometimes you'll need some quick energy if you have to move fast. It's also a huge morale boost if you can sweeten your drinks or make cakes and candies.
Salt. I cannot overemphasize the importance of salt. Many leading survival experts believe salt will be the number one bartering item after the SHTF. Not only is it great for seasoning bland food, it's important for preserving food, healing wounds and skin problems, making soap, and much more.
Baking Soda. This one has LOTS of uses. Most people think of it as an important ingredient for baking, but it's also great for cleaning teeth, cleaning dishes, cleaning clothes or anything with stains, absorbing odors, and much more. You can get a huge bag of baking soda for less than $20.
Instant Beverages. Things like instant coffee or cocoa. So long as they're vacuum sealed, they'll stay good for years and all you need is warm water. There's nothing like a hot drink if it's cold and/or you're tired. You'll be glad to have this.
Liquor. Although not technically a food, it's still something you'll want to have. A drink or two every now and then can be very relaxing. But even if you don't like to drink, you'll still find this to be a great barter item. In addition, it's great for treating wounds.
Wheat. You'll need a food mill, but it's worth it because wheat can last several decades. 25% of the world's food is make from wheat, including flour, bread, pasta, and other staples.
White Rice. The great thing about rice is how many calories you get for a such a low price. Just make sure it's white and not brown, as brown rice has a fairly short shelf life.
Honey. A healthy, natural sweetener that never goes bad. After a few years of storage it can get hard, but all you have to do is heat it up.
Distilled White Vinegar. It's important for cooking certain items, but it can also be used for cleaning.
Soy Sauce. This one never goes bad because of all the salt it contains. It's a tasty way to season vegetables, especially if you're stir-frying them in a skillet over a fire.
These are just 10 of the 37 food items that will be sold out after the next crisis. To learn more, please Visit My Site.

Food Storage Recipe - Dutch Oven Pizza
This is a great recipe to do while camping or while off the grid. It uses my favorite tool - a Dutch Oven!! Everyone who is wanting to be prepared for any emergency has got to get a good Dutch Oven.
Dutch Oven Pizza
Chef Boy-ar-dee Pizza mix. This is one thing that there should be plenty of in your food storage. It can come in handy if you do not feel like making your own dough or do not have the time to make your own dough.
Cheese- the pizza mix comes with some cheese of its own, but If I have it I add some more shredded mozzarella.
Pepperoni
Green pepper
Oil
Make a nice hot fire. Oil the Dutch oven well. Make the dough and put it in the oven. Cook it for about ten minutes and take it out. Put the sauce, cheese, and other stuff on the partially baked crust. Put the Dutch oven back in. It is okay to check it frequently. When it is done serve it to your happy family!!
