New to foodstorage?
If you are new to food storage, or if you are starting to gather food for storage, start small. Don’t feel overwhelmed like you need to store food for a long period of time all right away. Break up your end goal into smaller time periods. You will have more fun, work into a routine that works for you, and will have the endurance to work up to your goal.
Programs such as cooking for two weeks and cooking for a month are great ways to try out storing food. Take one or two days and plan out the meals you will need for a set period of time, we recommend incriments of two weeks. Cook, freeze, bake, assemble everything. Make two lasagnas, freeze a batch of cookie dough, assemble three soup stocks, cook a turkey and use the meat for sandwiches, noodle dishes, salads, and for snacking. These are just a few great ways to get started.
One great thing about starting small like this, is you can get into a routine for budgeting. You will know exactly how much you can allot to groceries every set period of time by properly alloting food for certain meals. We wish you a great start with food storage!
