Main Food Storage Spreadsheet

This is my main food storage spreadsheet - for all things edible. I've tweaked it and worked on it for more than 18 years. It is not currently updated. I have a copy I keep and pencil in the adjusted amounts. That one is current. Please use this for personal use only. If you'd like to share it with others, you must get my permission first. I've never seen anything else like it out there and I'd like my unique approach to stay mine.
Thanks!

Automatic way to save

This is an interesting idea I will look into later... especially since my sister with a Masters in  Accounting posted it on facebook. She does a similar method on her own, of course.

http://www.southerncalisaver.com/2015/05/how-we-add-150-cash-a-month-to-our-savings-account-without-doing-anything-and-it-is-legit/

Basically, there's an automatic savings program that helps you save without noticing...

What is Digit?  Digit is a FREE automated savings program that pays attention to your spending habits, then finds small amounts of money from your checking account and determines how much you can save and transfers it to a savings account for you. It does this every.day.

How does this work?  You will need to sync digit to your bank account and all it does all work its magic there. Every few days, Digit checks your spending patterns and moves a few dollars from your checking account to your Digit account, if you can afford it. Easily withdraw your money any time, quickly and with no fees.

Quarter of Contentment

As a family we've decided to be more content with what we have. To do this, we have a three prong approach. These things will help us achieve some big ideas and projects I've been trying to get to for years.

1- September: Share what we don't need.
Dejunk the house and get down to what we actually need and use. Sell or give away everything else.
Money earned from selling items can go towards a more generous Christmas to give others or to savings for future needs and wants.

2- Live on Food Storage only for the month of October.
We might do this every year. After all - there's a huge party everyone else pays for on the 31st.
I'll break this down later. Still gathering ideas and recipes.

3- November: Give thanks for everything.
More details to follow.

4- December: Start early to have a homemade and thoughtful Christmas.
Cut our Christmas budget to a very, very small amount and spend 50% of it on others - 2 "drawn" extended family names, neighbors and a Secret Santa or donation idea our family comes up with and does together.

Cast Iron Cooking & Cleaning

Now that we have a fire pit in the back yard, I'm anxious to do more than smores. Once the weather cools down, I'm going to bust out the cast iron skillet and dutch oven recipes and get going. Why not? Here are some ideas I need to remember:

I figure if a 12 year old boy can do these, I can too.

Cleaning it afterwards:

Once it's clean, it needs to be "oiled" too to store it.

Granola

I'm on the search for some good granola recipes. Deanna has one on her blog - pantryliving.blogspot.com
It's a keeper. I would use the water in the recipe, though.

There's this one from my neighbor too-

7 c. old fashioned oats
2 c chopped walnuts
1 c coconut
1/2 - 3/4 c wheat germ (opt)
2/3 c vegetable oil
3/4 c honey
1/2 c maple syrup
3/4 c brown sugar
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 c raisins
1 c dried cranberries

We left out the wheat germ, raisins and cranberries, but added 1 c sliced almonds.
Mix dry ingredients together in large bowl. Heat oil, honey, syrup, brown sugar, salt and vanilla in small sauce pan and heat until it bubbles around the edges of the pan. Pour into dry ingredients and mix. Spread in jelly roll pan and bake at 325 F for 30 min stirring every 10 min (we baked it with Deanna's for 2 hours on 250, stirring 4 x). Let it cool in pan stirring occasionally so it won't harden up in pieces that are too large. Add dried fruit once it has cooled. Freezes well.

I let it cool and harden, then just broke it apart before storing. Very good! A lot more sugar than Deanna's version, though.

Eating Better; Finally a successful Bean dish

I've known for a long time that I could be eating better. I'm educated on what that looks like, have lots of recipes and great examples of people around me who are doing great with eating more healthy options.
Then WHY is it so hard to do it? It takes time, effort, and some support from all those who eat my food. That's what it comes down to for me - will everyone else eat the good stuff I made?

Any ideas are welcome.

I've tried so many dishes with beans. And this is the first one that everyone liked. Hopefully the second big hit won't take two years to find. :)


Caribbean-Style Black Bean Soup p. 59 (in Fix It and Forget It Cookbook)
by Sheryl Shenk of Harrisonburg, VA

1 lb dried black beans, washed and stones removed (Soak beans overnight in 4 qts water, drain)
3 onions chopped (we used 1/3 c. dried onions)
1 green pepper chopped (not included in ours)
4 cloves garlic, minced (we grated our frozen garlic)
1 ham hock or 3/4 c cubed ham (we added this up front then blended it on step 4 - it was fine)
1 T oil
1 T ground cumin, 2 tsp oregano, 1 tsp thyme, 1 T salt, 1/2 tsp pepper
3 c water

later: sour cream, cilantro

Combine beans, onions, green pepper, garlic, ham, oil, cumin, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper and 3 cups fresh water. Stir well.
Cover. Cook on Low 8-10 hrs or High 4-5 hours (I cooked mine on Low 5 hours then warm for 2).
For a thick soup, remove and puree half of mixture at a time. Return to cooker.
Serve in soup bowl with a dollop of sour cream and fresh cilantro.

** recipe says to add 2 T vinegar after blending, but we did not.
