Beans, And More Beans...
Stocking Up On Foods For Your Family
Preparing for what has been planned;
Can you even imagine having to be rationed?
We have lived in the land of plenty!
We were assured of grain, because of the breadbasket of our nation,
It thrived and was given seed and water and fertilizer.
But we are now seeing shortages
But, after reading and talking to many people;
The consensus is the shortages have not even begun!
So, I write this post pleading with the ladies that have been,
Reading about what is going on in the world.
Will start preparing or continue for hardships!
The term being a Prepper has a whole new meaning for many!
I am going to start with a few basic ideas and a few tips I have learned!
I always think of the scripture
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
She laughs at the days to come!
Proverbs 31:25
"Firstly, God is our provider, He takes care of His Own"
Start with the basic's...
What are they?
Food and Water
Shelter
Let's start with what everyone can afford to do;
Beans...
Use your creative cooking skills and have the directions on how to cook them!
Write down some recipes or ideas in how to use them!
Black Eye Peas
Lentils
Northern Beans
Lima Beans
Black beans
Pinto Beans
Split Peas
Garbanzo Beans
Try to put back canned beans and dried beans!
The canned beans need to be stored in a cool dark place!
(They will last for 10-20 years)
Those expiration dates are for the government;
Always check the structure of each can before putting in your cart!
Any dents, or squishy top is compromised!
Must be in perfect condition.
Buy the Store Brand Name, usually cheaper!
Place your dry beans in the original package
In a glass jar or a sturdy tin or tub.
Every time you go to the store, you should
Purchase a dry or can bean until you have at least a months worth!
TIP: Find a place in your home to start your Food Storage!
Clean it it out and organize what you may already have.
Do not throw out expired foods, if you were really hungry
You would eat and be grateful!
TIP: Dispose of cans that are dented, rusty or bulging.
If you open it and smells off, dispose of it!
Remember beans are a staple and so frugal and delicious!
How many days worth of good protein and fiber do you have?
