For those #StayReadyCrew members who drink or use oat milk, there’s no need to pay $4+ for a half gallon. It’s super easy to make:

1 cup rolled oats
4 cups water
Dash of salt
Sugar to taste

Let sit for 10 minutes, then blend for 40 seconds. Pour through a fine sieve into container.

That’s it!

Katy has been kind enough to share her process of freezing potatoes for longer term storage with us.

Here you go!

#StayReadyCrew had me going through my freezers and pantry this morning, to assess what needs to be rotated and used. Found 14 quarts of chicken stock that Spouse had been shoving into the freezer willy-nilly 🤦‍♀️😁😁
All pulled now and will be canning stock later today. 😄

Farmers sound alarm over global food supply as staple becomes increasingly difficult to grow: 'The crop is sensitive' The failure of Pennsylvania's potato crops is one example of the changes threatening our food supplies.

Don’t sleep on onion soup mix for your pantry. $1.39 makes 8 cups of broth. I see broth and stock going for $5 and (way) up for 4 cup container. Sub for beef stock. JS.

This is why I bought a few years worth of stamps the other week.
