I have a dozen bean and rice recipes with my beans and rice, a dozen dutch oven fruit dessert recipes with my canned fruit, and a similar variety for every other class of stored food. I could feed my family for a year without electricity, without supplementing by hunting, gathering, or growing food, and without repeating a meal in any month. For us, the issue is water, and we do have access to water and the means to make it potable.
True. Having paper copies of How To projects is important. And go with the most basic ones with the least number of steps because people won’t have an entire general store in their basement.
“Preppers should store paper versions of SHTF recipe ideas.”
I noticed late yesterday, that in one post where I posted recipes, it double posted. I don’t know how I managed to do that.
Whenever I put a recipe on my computer, I print it off and the recipes are in a stack. I don’t like complicated recipes and don’t do them.
Glad your hoe cakes came out well. Our American pioneers only had basic food stuffs and that’s why I searched to find their recipes and found they also used Indian recipes. Any recipes the Indians had or settlers had, would be the ones best suited for no power. If they could do it in their circumstances, surely we can do it, too.
