Get the whole family involved. - Go to your local library and check out recipe books, or go online for new recipes or even video’s on how to use your food storage. - If your family enjoys camping, use that as an opportunity to try out a few of those MRE’s you purchased, or a freeze-dried meal. - If you have never learned to make bread, schedule time with someone who can show you hands-on how to achieve a wonderful loaf of bread! - Get together with friends who are interested in food storage and plan a food storage potluck!
