Adding to our food storage

My friend Paige recently introduced me to Honeyville food storage products.  I had way too much fun ordering from them.  I bought a case of dried veggies like peas, carrots, celery, corn etc. that would be great to add to pasta, rice or soup.  I bought the dairy combo like milk, chocolate milk, eggs, egg whites, butter, and cheese sauce.  I splurged and got the combo for smoothies.  Just add water, so excited to try these!  We did make some of the lemon poppyseed muffins and they were really good!  

Today I went to the book store and bought, "I Can't Believe It's Food Storage" cookbook, loving it already.  I was telling Todd I can't wait to start cooking with food storage and he told me if I used it now, we wouldn't have it later when/if needed!  I am going to start introducing it little by little anyways to see if anyone even notices.  I'll keep you posted.  We are supposed to be using our food storage and replenishing it so we get used to eating it, and not just when we have to.  I still need to add more pasta to my supplies, we love pasta!

On a funny note!  Last fall when we were having our kitchen updated, the guys installing the granite asked about all the white buckets in our garage.  Once I told them it was food storage, they laughed, couldn't believe we would have so much just sitting around, and said they would come to my house if there ever was a disaster! Come on over!
