Food Storage

Since we have been blessed with extra money we have been using it to grow our food storage. I have been looking online for some place that would help me use my food storage on a daily basis. Well I have found the perfect site. If anyone is interested in learning how to use their food storage in everyday use then here is the site for you.

Crystal uses her food storage everyday for all of her meals. She has wonderful recipes on her site as well as videos showing how she makes some of her meals. She also has wonderful ideas for the holidays and other things. (like VT gifts) She has teamed up with some other wonderful ladies to help you get your food storage started on the right track and also to help you save money when you go shopping.

The site for the food storage recipes is http://everydayfoodstorage.net/
The site for helping you get your food storage is http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/
The site for helping you save money when shopping is http://theobsessiveshopper.net/

From these site I also found this blog that shows you how to make an oven that works just as good as your home oven.

The site for that is http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-make-cardboard-box-oven.html

This is another food storage site that has some great stuff on it as well http://funwithfoodstorage.net/


I have found all these site very useful. Check them out and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
