The Prudent Homemaker

I glimpsed through a blog about a sister that feeds her family of eight for less than five dollars a day (her blog was recently featured in the BYU alumni magazine).  She highly recommends food storage and shows you how to use it effectively.  I'm looking forward to learning more about what she has to share.  The blog is here:  The prudent homemaker.

President Benson taught the basics of food storage

"From the standpoint of food production, storage, handling, and the Lord’s counsel, wheat should have high priority. Water, of course, is essential. Other basics could include honey or sugar, legumes, milk products or substitutes, and salt or its equivalent." – President Ezra Taft Benson

Canning Chicken

Midland 2nd ward recently held a meat canning class.  Good idea!   If you'd like to learn about canning chicken you might like to check out an online tutorial posted on the hugs and giggles blog and her chicken canning post found here.  Canned chicken can be used in any recipe that calls for cooked chicken.
