We tried 5 different flavors: Ranch, Garlic, Cinnamon & Sugar and cheese. Ranch was our favorite. </em><br /><em></em><br />Take 1 cup of your cooked wheat berries (I simmered mine for 45 minutes and drained them) and add to a frying pan of pot with two tablespoons of oil in it. Cover with a lid and cook over a hot stove shaking the pan while it cooks. After about 4-5 minutes the kernels will be nice and toasted. Put the popped wheat on a paper towel to get the extra oil off, and sprinkle with your choice of seasonings. Try it with salt, seasoned salt, garlic, barbecue salt, onion salt, cinnamon and sugar or any combination you desire. These are delicious on salads as a topping, mixed with trail mix, or as toppings for a desserts or just as a healthy snack.Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01546582444762219023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345059528554669106.post-90698945353556377072009-11-01T18:45:00.000-08:002009-11-01T18:45:00.453-08:00Instant Oatmeal-Aubrey<br /><br /><em>I found this at </em><a href="http://www.budget101.com/recipes/id446.htm"><em>budget101.com</em></a><em>. It was really easy and tasted just like the packets you buy. And I love how much cheaper it is!</em><br /><br />What you need:<br />3 cups Quick-Cooking Oats<br />Salt (I left the salt out)<br />8 Small sized Zip Baggies (I used snack sized bags)<br /><br />Put 1/2 cup oats in a blender and blend on high until powdery. Set aside in a small bowl, and repeat procedure with an additional 1/2 cup oats. If you're using a food processor (or VitaMix)you can do the 1 cup of oats in one batch.<br /><br />Put the following ingredients into each zip baggie: 1/4 cup un-powdered oats, 2 Tbsp. powdered oats, and 1/8 tsp. salt.<br /><br />Store in an airtight container. To Use: Empty packet into a bowl. Add 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir and let stand for 2 minutes. For thicker oatmeal, use less water - for thinner oatmeal, use more water.<em> I microwaved mine just like the store bought ones--worked great!</em><br /><em></em><br />Variations:<br />Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal- To each packet add 1 Tbsp. sugar, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, and 2 Tbsp. chopped dried apples.<br /><br />Sweetened Oatmeal- To each packet add 1 Tbsp. sugar Brown Sugar<br /><br />Cinnamon Oatmeal- To each packet add 1 Tbsp. brown sugar & 1/4 tsp. cinnamon<br /><br />Oatmeal w/Raisins & Brown Sugar- To each packet add 1 Tbsp. packed brown sugar and 1 Tbsp. raisins.Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01546582444762219023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345059528554669106.post-51197393090420953172009-10-24T21:50:00.000-07:002009-10-24T21:54:10.644-07:00Food Storage Substitutions:I thought this might be useful to add to the blog, hope it helps you. I found the info on <a href="http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/page/2/">Food Storage Made Easy. </a><br /><strong></strong><br /><a href="http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/softbrown500.jpg"></a><strong>Brown Sugar = 1 c. white sugar + 1-2 T. molasses</strong><br />White sugar and molasses are already on our list of storage items, so if you plan to store brown sugar as well, just store a little extra of these items. Molasses has a longer shelf life than brown sugar, and you don’t have the problem of it getting clumpy and hardened since you will be making it fresh.<br /><br /><a href="http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/6a00d83451fa5069e200e54f6196468833-800wi.jpg"></a><strong>Buttermilk = 1 c. milk or powdered milk + 1 T. vinegar</strong><br />This is so much easier than having to keep buttermilk or powdered buttermilk on hand when you need it for a particular recipe. Vinegar can also be used in baking recipes, to improve your bread recipes, as well as for <a href="http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/2009/04/16/cleaning-with-food-storage/">homemade cleaning supplies</a>. So these two items should definitely be part of your food storage already!<br /><br /><a href="http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/davisbakingpowder.jpg"></a><strong>Baking Powder = 1 tsp. baking soda + 2 tsp. cream of tartar</strong><br />While you may not think of storing cream of tartar, this actually makes a lot of sense. Both baking soda and cream of tartar can have an indefinite shelf life if stored in airtight containers at room temperature. Baking powder, however has a short shelf life of 6-12 months. To test if your baking powder is still active, stir 1 teaspoon into ½ a cup of hot water. If it doesn’t bubble, it will need to be replaced.Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01546582444762219023noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345059528554669106.post-87377984153273613192009-10-04T18:59:00.000-07:002009-10-04T19:02:07.859-07:00Track your food storage and meet some goalsCindy shared this with me a while ago...<br />There is this cool site that you can track your food storage and set goals based on your family size and number of months.

It costs $4. You need to bring you lid, gauge and gasket. If you cannot be there at that time you can bring it early and leave it there for them and pick it up later.Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01546582444762219023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345059528554669106.post-43710331646390038622009-06-14T19:31:00.001-07:002009-06-14T19:32:35.311-07:00Change!We will be meeting on the last <strong>Tuesday </strong>of the month instead of the last Thursday.
