This is a very quick and easy bread recipe that you cook in a dutch oven. Whip it up the night before and let sit over night. Recipe has numerous variations.

Food will get you through times with no money, but money will not get you through times with no food.
Just a thought, but whatever food you store should be what you actually eat on a regular basis. So if one of these recipes strikes a chord, actually make it and eat it. THEN decide if it belongs in your preps. Storing a bunch of things your family doesn't normally eat won't work out well for anyone in case of a real disaster. 🙂

I first learned how to dehydrate by watching the videos on dehydrate2store.com there are many great recipes listed there and I especially like having the quick breads bagged and ready in my pantry

"We 'Prep.' to live after a downfall, Not just to survive."
From the Gooseberry Patch:
Salsa for a Year
15 lbs. roma tomatoes, cored, peeled
and chopped
2-1/4 lbs. jalapeños, chopped
3 lbs. onions, chopped
2 c. cider vinegar
3 T. plus 1 t. canning salt
25 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1/2 c. sweet paprika
15 1-pint canning jars and lids, sterilized
Combine all ingredients in a 5-gallon stockpot. Stir well. Heat to a boil, stirring often; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Spoon salsa into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe rims; secure lids and rings. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Set jars on a towel to cool for 24 hours; check for seals. Makes 15 jars.
Mamaizzy, Re: Salsa - Don't forget to wear 'latex'/plastic gloves when you chop up those jalapenos or your hands (and any body part you touch with those hands) will be burning for a day(s)!! And do you think they mean, course (pickling) salt when they say "canning salt"?
On the gloves, I agree! But I cheat and use the food processor lol
I use coarse salt. Haven't killed or poisoned anyone yet! 😉
The gooseberry patch has an incredible collection of recipes! I love their weekly emails!
just found this site and the pics are making me hungry and they are all low cost meals

I just calculated what it cost for my Rice and Peas dinner last night...$2.80 cents...for enough to feed 4 teenagers or 6 normal adults as a main dish. And people laugh at me for being such a frugal shopper...now the rice I just bought was 8kg for $4.97...that's the cheapest I've seen rice in 20 yrs...my other sale rice was 8kg for $6.99 so even at that price we're talking under $4.00 to feed a family...you just have to add a side of green beans and maybe a carrot salad and you're still under $7.00 if you have bought everything at sale prices.
2 cups of rice = 18.6 cents
red kidney beans= 99 cents I think, bought them awhile ago, husband thinks 79 cents though (Great Value brand, EXCELLENT quality beans)
coconut milk, 1 can =88 cents
1 large onion = 25 cents
3 green onions = 20 cents
fresh thyme - 15 cents
garlic = 15 cents
hot pepper = free from my garden
cooking oil = 20 cents

I'm the lady you're stuck behind in the grocery store with the over loaded cart filled with cases of tuna, peanut butter, huge bags of rice and the weary looking husband
Anyone have jar recipes for tea biscuits or pancakes where you only have to add water that they have actually tried?
