Sister Penny Brown in Midland 2nd ward has come up with a way to gather her long term food storage one month at a time. She found a wonderful bread recipe that will be shared shortly.
I searched the web to come up with some of the numbers and found a consensus on amounts among a few- so, here is the info:
These quantities are for a one month supply of food per person (over age 7).
25 lbs. of wheat, white rice or other grains (remember Pres. Benson said that wheat was the most important of these options)
5 lbs. of dry beans and/or other legumes
5 lbs. of sugar or honey
5 lbs. powdered milk
1 can evaporated milk
2 pounds of shortening, oil or other fat
1/2 pound of salt
And a source of vitamin C
Thanks Penny for your great idea- hope this helps someone get started!
