1.Figure out what is in your food storage.
Do you have a lot of powdered milk, wheat, rice, beans?
2.Write down a list of the meals that your Family typically eats.
Be sure to include baked good, breakfast and dinner.
3.Look for the ones that you can make simple adjustments to.
Recipes that call for milk are easy to substitute powdered milk to. Taste the same. I keep a container of reconstituted milk in my fridge for cooking purposes.
Do you bake? Try using some whole wheat flour for SOME of the white flour. Pancakes, waffles and cookies are great places to start.
Add rice to your soups, casseroles, and burritos.
4. Start conservative
You have to start out with small amounts of things like wheat. Converting over whole heartedly WILL cause major stomach problems. Take it slow.
Also look at only changing one or two recipes so you do not get overwhelmed. Next week add another and so on.
5.Look for new recipes that use more food storage items.
When looking for new recipes look for ones that have more food storage friendly ingredient lists.
