• You’re organized and looking cute!

Powdered Milk is made from part dairy and part soy, and it will taste similar to any skim milk you might use. It’s best used for cooking, although, of course, it’s completely safe and fine to drink. THRIVE Powdered Milk also costs a bit less than Instant Milk, and as a good source of calcium and vitamin A, it’s a great choice for your food storage.

There you have it! Including milk and other dairy products in your food storage will mean greater health and greater variety for meals and recipes, and now that you know how to best use both Instant and Powdered Milk, you’re ready to use them for all your future dairy needs.

Have a quick question about food storage or emergency preparedness? Let me know! You can leave a comment on this post to share your thoughts. If there’s anything that’s causing you just a little confusion, I’d love to help. Believe me: the chances are that someone else is wondering about the exact same thing. I’d love to respond to your question in a future weekly post.

Have you ever wondered if you could just make your own bread simply and inexpensively?

I recently came upon a recipe that takes only 5 minutes a day and costs VERY LITTLE to make!

It takes about 5 minutes to make the dough….you leave it on the counter for about 2-1/2 hours and then refrigerate it overnight. The best part is it will keep up to TWO weeks in your fridge. Just take out however much dough you want to cook. This recipe is taken from this book. It’s great!

3 cups lukewarm water
1-1/2 TB granulated yeast (1-1/2 pkgs)
1-1/2 TB kosher salt or other coarse salt
6 1/2 cups unsifted, unbleached, all-purpose white flour, measured by scooping the flour into the measuring cup and with a knife, scrape the top off the measuring cup

In a 5 quart container, put all the ingredients in and just mix it up with a wooden spoon. Mix it until all the flour is worked into the liquid and it is all moist. Make sure your container is in a 5 qt lidded, but not airtight, bowl. Put the lid on with one corner cracked (to let the gases escape as it rises). Let it sit on your counter for 2-1/2 hours then put it in the refrigerator over night….

Then anytime in the next 2 weeks you can use the dough to make rolls and breads of any shape. I think you can get about 4 loaves of French Bread out of this basic dough.

The book has many other options for mix-ins and toppings.
