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!
Mario Kart anyone? Bry is a pro!

Oh, here he is! Nope, not gonna do it! 
Along this fence we have three blueberry bushes that are on their second year, hopefully we'll get more berries this year. And behind them are the thornless Raspberries. We didn't get any berries last year, but they are looking strong this year already. We've given tons of starts away too. I can still give more if anyone is interested...
I decided to buy some bare root trees, this is a mixed pear tree and the other one is a mixed apple tree, not pictured. They are finally starting to show signs of life and I can't wait to see if we'll get fruit this year or not...they are dwarf trees and should only get about 10-15 feet tall. Perfect to block the view into the neighbor's backyard as they are the only other neighbors that actually use their backyard too! Maybe we scare the others away because we are so loud, hmmmmm....
This year Todd got a basket and the kids saw what was in his and forgot about anything else in the world. He got Mario Kart and two steering wheels! Nice bed head Tay!
See what I mean about the smudge in the middle of the photo? Bry's finger print! Easter outfits from Nana and Papa and Wii steering wheels!
Todd and I both took naps and when I woke up and came downstairs I saw this! Close up, his face is all smooshed against the chair. When he woke up he got sick all over this chair and everything around it! Gross! Good thing Todd was home to clean it up! I gag myself silly and can't do it! I try, but I really can't handle it at all. Too much candy and not enough good stuff! Then later he got sick again and then Sydney got sick, at least he made it to the throw up bowl and she made it to the toilet! Great way to end Easter... sick and early to bed!
The pathway split and this was a photo from the left option... way to dangerous, we turned around right after I took this photo!
First cave.
Second cave.
