Let's get this year started off right. Water is essential to anyone's survival. Do you have enough for your entire family for 3 days? This is a great start and the beginning to this months challenge.
1. Store 1 gallon of water per person/per day for 3 days
2. Sign up for our newsletter
3. Try a new food storage recipe
What is the use storing a bunch of whole wheat if you do not know how to use it? Make sure you know how and what you will need to make something to eat of the basic ingredients that you are storing.
We also recommend that your family has a water filtration/purification system. It can be as easy as the Seychelle Water Filtration Bottle which you can read about on their website: http://www.seychelle.com/products.php
Here is a quick recipe to try at home:
Homemade Refried Beans

1 1/2 cups freeze dried onions

1/2 fresh jalapeno pepper (seeded and chopped)

1 3/4 teaspoons of fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
9 cups of water
Directions:
1. Place onion, rinsed beans, jalapeno, garlic, salt, pepper. and cumin into a slow cooker. Cook on high for 8 hours, adding more water as needed. NOTE: if more than 1 cup of water has evaporated then the temperature is too high.
