It makes me hungry!!

I know I haven't posted for a while but I have been very, very busy. Busy with what you ask? Well, about a month ago Shawn and I went to church and had some very powerful lessons. We both came home and decided together that we really needed to get our food storage in order. Now, I have been working on it as much as possible for the last six months but I hadn't really gotten serious about it. So we decided that NOW was the time. We have been shopping like crazy. Luckily, it was Macey's Caselot time so that has saved us alot of money. And I have gotten alot of help from the website "DealstoMeals.com". Anyway, we now feel prepared. We have a year's supply of the Basics like Wheat, Milk, Sugar, Flour, Pastas, Oats, Rice and Beans. Also we have gotten quite a bit of things like Soups, Condiments, Baking Goods ( I made fudge for the first time yesterday, YEAH ME!!!) Etc. I also bought a Wheat Grinder (which I have already used and loved) and a Water Bath for canning. I left space on my shelves for Salsa ( I have to make alot more this year than I did last year because last year we went through all 16 jars in about a two month time frame.) I also am going to attempt Peaches, Pears, and Pickles. Oh yeah, and Jam. So if any of you have good canning recipes go ahead and e-mail them to me. So, that's why I haven't blogged for a while, I've just been too darn tired. Wheat, Lots of Wheat! Can Rotation System and Powdered Milk.

Baking Goods, Condiments, More Soups, Spaghetti Sauce, Etc.
Flour, Sugars, Rice, and Beans.My very lacking Cereal and Treat Shelves, I will only buy these things on Really Good Deals so these Shelves will take longer to Fill. That's OK, I can always make things from Scratch:)

We also have 4 55gallon drums for water but we still have to fill them. Maybe it will be on Shawn's Honey-do list this weekend:)
