Monthly food menu calendar2/11/2024 I’m impressed with all the people who tell me they only eat fruit and vegetables, and therefore can’t do food storage. People always seem to wince and ask me if I really eat my food storage, and the answer is “YES!” This isn’t hard to do, because I LOVE every meal that I store! Food storage doesn’t mean just loading up on wheat and beans, it means learning to store and be efficient with what YOU enjoy eating! Sides (Fruits & Veggies): All of the ingredients I store have a minimum 3 year shelf-life, most have much more, and so rotating the food this way ensures that hopefully nothing will go bad. I try to make at least 2 meals out of my food storage a week so my food storage will be rotated every 3 years. I have 4 different categories for my meals:ĩ Meals of Each Category x 4 = 36 Different Dinners 1 loaf of Bread x 365 = 365 Loafs of Bread.I would also rather die than not have dessert, so I made sure to add about 3 deserts a week! It’s a good idea to have some comfort foods and snacks in your food storage too! Plus, desserts count as a meal right? You can use the bread for pb&j sandwiches, rolls with leftover meat, toast, or whatever else your imagination can come up with. You will be lucky if you can get one done!įor lunch I made sure to have enough ingredients to make bread at least once a day. If you really were living off your food storage, you probably aren’t going to be making 3 large hot meals everyday. 10 Breakfast x 40 = 400 Breakfast Meals for the Year.It’s a little more than a years worth of breakfasts, but I’m all about making the math as EASY as possible! I have 10 different breakfast meals that I multiplied by 40. MEAL PLANNING SYSTEM:įirst thing, you need to figure out what YOU like to eat! Breakfast: I went ahead and coordinated the meal plan to go along with my food storage to help me rotate it, but you can suit it to fit your individual needs (or for the screamers in your home). If you already know what’s for dinner every night and have a system that works for you, GREAT! (Gold star for you!) For the rest of us, you might want to check this out! I’m finally getting dinner made (before the screaming starts), and no one is asking me the dreaded question, “What’s for Dinner?” There’s also something about 5 o’ clock that triggers everyone’s internal alarm clock (at least in my house) to immediately start screaming, yelling, or whining about EVERYTHING! To make matters worse, when I try to hide in my closet with a bag of KitKats and the I-Pad, the kids hunt me down, scream that their hungry and hold me hostage until they finished off my secret stash! Coming up with menu plans week after week that please everyone was making me fully understand the phrase, “I would rather stick a needle in my eye!”
