Where can I learn more about what and how to store?

The Church has a great site about Provident Living with excellent resources and ideas for home storage.

Here's a few more ideas:
1. Some basics and amounts to get you started on long-term storage.
2. Some downloadable information - lots of ideas for those looking to refine their current storage.
3. "The Ultimate Food Storage Worksheet".

Where are some other places you've found for good ideas and information?

The Fresh Dilemma....

All of you fresh food fans, let's brainstorm ways to make three month home storage work. (Katheryn, we're counting on you here!)

Here's a fancy dehydrator (yum) but there are also cheaper ways to try one out...

What is the next step in my Home Storage Plan?

The goal of our 4th Sunday lesson as a Stake was to "Encourage members to actually develop and carry out a personal or family plan to improve their home storage and to accept the first presidency's challenge to take their next step toward full compliance with this prophetic counsel."

What step have you decided to take?

Best Recipes...

Since many people don't eat meals entirely out of canned goods on a regular basis, what are some recipes you and your family enjoy that are made out of nonperishable items? (Yes, you can share all your wheat recipes, too...)

What's your biggest food storage challenge?

Maybe someone else has a good answer....

Want 2 new awesome pamphlets?

The Church has recently published two new pamphlets in the Ensign: All is Safely Gathered In. If you didn't get the chance to read about Family Home Storage or about Family Finances you can download them by clicking on the underlined words in the paragraph above. You should be able to print them straight from the new page that will open.

A new look at food storage!

This is a place to help all of us start, improve, and perfect our ability to follow the counsel of our inspired leaders and our prophet. Feel free to use this space to post great deals and cheap prices, fabulous successes you've had, problems you're encountering, or just good ideas on where to put all the stuff!

We all know that the Church provides us with some additional suggestions and that recently there has been an emphasis on a 3 month supply of foods we eat regularly, and then a 1 year supply to sustain life. Don't forget to be wise about water and your financial reserves!
