Stocking Up On Taters And Dehydrating Frozen Vegtables...

 

Potatoes In Your Pantry

Hopefully you're all very busy stocking your pantry.

Potatoes are a staple in my pantry.

But they have become very high priced.

I have bought shredded frozen Hash browns and then dehydrated them.

My daughter told me to buy the canned ones, as they are easy to fry up,

And to use them in soups or a small batch of potato salad.

Also purchased dried flaked potatoes for mashed taters.

If you have not started your stocking up, I am afraid you will

Be paying a much higher price, so don't wait any longer!

The potatoes  were almost 12.00 dollars a 5lb. bag!!

I will check our local Farmers Market today.

I have pressured canned potatoes many years ago when prices were high.

I think I may be putting some up again.

Do what you can ladies to feel the wonderful feeling of

Putting up the harvest or bounty.

Do you have a dehydrator?

This little machine is a work horse for

 Putting up a long term vegetable's.

It's really easy if you buy frozen ones, then put in the dehydrator,

~I have done frozen bags of these items so far~

Peas, Shredded potato, spinach, onions. green beans,

Carrots, mixed vegetables!

Going to get some frozen Kale for soups later to dehydrate.

As you do not have to blanch them.

Then I place them in a glass jar and vacuum seal them for the long term.

But if you just want them for your daily cooking just keep

In a cool, dark pantry and use in soups and stews.

They rehydrate really well, Just place some in a boil and add some hot water.

What are you doing to combat high food prices?

Buy on sale...

Buy in bulk...

Buy at least 5 of everything when shopping of even one item...

Build up your Pantry...

Get creative...

Everyone can do something...

I have been so busy putting food for my Family

May you see and Feel the URGENCY also...

Stock Your Pantry With Beans...

 

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?

Time To Stock Up And Put Back...

 

Time To Stock Up And Put Back

I heard a gentleman a few years back speaking on

Investing your monies.

 I have found myself thinking about what he said.

He explained how the market worked;

But when he said your purchasing power was best used by

Buying foods and items that would continue to rise in price.

Greetings to so many out there;

We took a trip and traveled to many places.

I came back with an awareness that I didn't have before.

Sometimes when you live in a small town, and don't get out much,

You may not see how much our America has changed!

Most the people we saw and chatted with were keenly

Aware of the changes in their lives and their cities.

When we arrived back home,

 we both felt we needed to be more

prepared...

Make a plan!!

Buy what you will cook or prepare and enjoy eating first!

Then put back food staples.

Be mindful and prayerful!!

The shifting has started and I believe rough times may be ahead!

I am not an alarmist, but a practical wise woman!

Get busy

Prices are rising weekly

Many are warning of shortages

Watch for sales at your market!

Look at bags of self-rising flour, they were very inexpensive

Compared to regular flour!

Shall I say more on this subject?

Blessings, Roxy

Redeeming The Time...

 The Time Is Now

Redeeming the time, Because the days are evil.

One thing I am always amazed at is how even in trials and unrest;

Our God will give us times of rest. Free from pain or lack of sleep.

Redeeming the time is something we can do every single day!

We will not always even be aware that we are redeeming the time.

It really is always on God's timetable!

I believe even those little prayers we breath out can change a situation.

We must refuse and resist the urge to give up!

I am always filled with wonder when I see someone who

overcomes and keeps planting a certain flower seed.

Believing it will sprout and give her a beautiful flower garden.

We are drawn to the scriptures and the stories of those that,

Did not give up and persevered in hard times.

Some call it pure grit;

I call it pure Grace...

I believe this country has a divine destiny USA

I believe each person that is part of Gods elect will fulfill

All that God has given him or her to do!

Fill your heart with fuel to travel far!

But there is only a gap to stop and reflect on what is important!

The future is certain, you are part of His plan!

He will use us if we are willing!

Let not your heart be troubled...

All Lies And Deceptions Will Be Exposed...

 What's Real?

We are so blessed to be able to enjoy what is real...

Don't be fooled by lies promoted by so many times to dull your senses!

The sky can have many different colors;

After a rain storm, or a storm moving in.

 And when the sun is rising in the early morning!

Or when the sun is setting in the west.

But ultimately we will all know the sky is Blue.

True nature will not change!

The blossoms on a fruit or flowering tree will smell sweet.

The true fragrance can not be denied.

Don't walk around in a cloud or a haze of indifference.

I always have loved being convinced in my own heart of what scripture says,

About everything...

If you study the real artifact or painting, you will be able to

spot the imposter or fake one. But even in that there are such

perfect imposters if it were possible you could be fooled.

But I choose to believe that all the lies and deceptions will be exposed!

Some have even tried to take a Rainbow and make it to represent

something other than a symbol of God's promise to never allow the Earth

To be destroyed by a flood ever again!

Stand On The Promises Of God Your Savior...

blessings, Roxy
