I'm in a little cooking challenge right now on one of the boards I participate in. It's a challenge to see what kind of odds and ends you can use from your freezer or pantry. While they know I stockpile, they have no idea I'm a prepper or to what extent I stockpile. It literally just dawned on me that this would translate really well here since it forces us to move some food. Some things I bought as a newbie prepper and didn't understand the golden rule of store what you eat and eat what you store. Other things I cook fresh and things just don't get rotated as often as they should. Like the gravy with tonights dinner. I was going to make fresh when I remembered the dry packets on the shelf...so...
Yesterday I made a Jell-O dessert using an expired package of Jell-O (01/11 - I also don't tell them I'm using food out of expiration dates - they would be horrified!! )
Tonight we are having a jar of Home Canned Beef, two packets of brown gravy mix (also expired 01/11), a box of Velveeta Shells and Cheese (06/10) and some turnip greens from last years garden that have been in the freezer.
What can you rotate today?
