Simple Secrets for Using Food Storage in Your Own Recipes

by Crystal Godfrey

Powdered milk and dried beans come to mind when people mention long-term food storage, but this cheerful guide, inspired by the author's popular blog and YouTube videos, hopes to transform the image of this thrifty practice. For starters, the discussion asks Would you really like to start eating powdered eggs all of sudden? The answer is if a household doesn't know how to use stored food now—and make it palatable for family meals—they probably won’t eat it in an emergency and eventually must dump it out. Instead, the book explains, bulk foods must be rotated out of storage and incorporated into everyday meals, an easy skill to learn when armed with this collection of more than 100 fun, easy, and great-tasting recipes and tips for substituting dried and canned ingredients in favorite family dishes.
