Food & Water SupplyI like hummus occasionally, but I hate how much it costs for just a little tub. Another concern is that it is one of the foods that seem to be susceptible to food contamination. At the moment I have to be especially careful. Listeria can cause severe problems if you are pregnant. Years ago, I used to buy hummus powder for around $4 per lb. Pretty expensive for something made from chickpeas but still less money than premade stuff. I got to craving hummus the other day when I tried to think about foods that were easy to eat and...
There is a lot of survival food to choose from. Preppers need to be careful when purchasing food buckets. They are not all the same, and just because one cost’s more doesn’t necessarily mean it is any better. I have found Augason Farm’s products to be a decent and affordable solution for those that want space-efficient emergency food storage. I purchased two food buckets with my own money, so I can show you what to expect when you buy Augason Farm’s basic emergency food buckets. It should not come as a surprise that there is no meat in these kits...
Shopping has definitely changed since the COVID-19 pandemic first started. With so many people stocking up and the transportation industry under a lot of pressure, the gaps at the grocery store and the light shelves have continued to be a problem off and on. I have gathered from many readers that this varies a lot based on where you live. My own shopping habits have changed quite a bit too. For example, I don’t really buy a lot of stuff from a traditional grocery store. I also tend to buy in bulk more often. For example, instead of buying 3...
I apologize for being a bit absent from the site. My husband, Matt, started a lot of gardens at the beginning of the pandemic and our pear tree decided to produce like crazy this year. I have been helping get things preserved and reorganizing everything so that we are in a better position going into winter. Our pantry and food supply look a bit different than it did last year. There are barely any small packages of store-bought goods. Purchasing in bulk means providing your containers. Good ones are not cheap, but they will last forever with care, and they...
My husband has been making pesto using fresh greens in combination with basil. This year our basil crop just didn’t produce the volume that we anticipated. It has been a very wet and strange growing season here in the mountains of western North Carolina. Pesto is delicious but it can be really expensive to buy at the grocery store. Early in the year, I was buying it in jars through the mail and I have to say that if a jar gets busted in the mail, it can create a big mess and mess up whatever else is shipped in...
When the pandemic started, it was a kick in the pants to try to produce as much as possible at home. My husband, Matt, started building up raised beds near our house. Our beets got planted a little late so they didn’t get to the large size they have in the past. Despite that, we did harvest some tasty beets so we decided to pickle them. This is a fairly easy process that I wanted to share with you in case you are trying to find creative ways to use up produce. Another benefit of pickled beets is that after...
