SWISS CHEESE CHICKEN: A Must-Have Meal for Your Freezer & Food Storage!

SWISS CHEESE CHICKEN: A Must-Have Meal for Your Freezer & Food Storage!

Wow! It’s been way too long since I’ve shared a recipe! You probably think I never cook (and depending on who you asked, you might be right ;) I may not have time to make a gourmet meal every night (or ever), but I can always whip up this Swiss Cheese Chicken in no time flat! […]

Taco Soup: Are You Afraid of Using Food Storage? Start With This Recipe…

Taco Soup: Are You Afraid of Using Food Storage? Start With This Recipe…

This is a great food storage recipe that you can go ahead and stock-up on. It’s literally a matter of just dumping cans into a pot and you’re done. And if you’re brave enough to can your own meat the process is even faster. Just make sure you get gluten/dairy free taco seasoning or make […]

Hawaiian Sesame Chicken

Hawaiian Sesame Chicken

I love meals that your literally throw into a pot and it makes something edible! Here’s another easy dish to add to your food storage collection! If you don’t have a fs recipe collection, it’s never too late to start :) Enjoy! Hawaiian Sesame Chicken INGREDIENTS: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 2 pint jars of canned chicken) […]

Cook-Off Winner: Cinnamon Chili

Cook-Off Winner: Cinnamon Chili

There always seems to be chili cook-offs popping up, so I thought I would help prepare you for the next one that comes your way.  This recipe won last years neighborhood cook-off and has been a favorite of ours since! Not only will this bowl of deliciousness help you win a blue ribbon, but it’s also […]

Bread Kindergarten: Reliable Pizza Dough

Bread Kindergarten: Reliable Pizza Dough

Technically you could call this Remedial Pizza Dough because I’ve yet to be able to mess it up, even when throwing ingredients at the mixing bowl from halfway across the room and letting my KitchenAid do just about everything but roll it out and add the toppings. Once my five year-old used my solid wood […]

Enchiladas

Enchiladas

Enchiladas are always a family favorite! Tonight I tried them using the freeze-dried foods – Red Bell Pepper, Green Onions, & Monterey Jack Cheese. I’m always a little intimidated trying new freeze-dried foods, but once again they didn’t disappoint. ENCHILADAS 2 c chicken, shredded (I used my canned chicken) 1/3 package of bacon (optional) 1 clove of garlic, […]

Pasta Fagioli Soup

Pasta Fagioli Soup

I originally discarded this recipe as one I would never be able to use for food storage, because it required zucchini. Freeze-dried foods have once again made something I thought was impossible, a reality. Today I made one of my favorite soups by just throwing some freeze-dried Zucchini into it, and I couldn’t tell the […]

Potato Soup

Potato Soup

I love cold days just so I can have an excuse to make some warm potato soup. My friend brought me this soup after my baby and I have been addicted since. This time I tried making it with all freeze-dried foods and it still tasted amazing! This will definitely be going into my food storage meals! POTATO […]
