Food Storage Friday - Books & Goals

If you receive a gift card that's burning a hole in your pocket, or if someone is asking you what you'd like as a last minute gift - or maybe you're just looking for some new additions to add to your library list, here's a couple of great food storage titles that you should check out. Everything in these books won't apply to everyone, of course, but you can probably learn a few really important things reading them. (Click the pictures to get to Amazon's page for them)

Don't let the gloom and doom of this title fool you - it's got a lot of great information on food storage even if the world isn't ending. lol ;) I think it's probably the best food storage book there is.

Emergency Food Storage & Survival Handbook: Everything You Need to Know to Keep Your Family Safe in a Crisis by Peggy Layton


It's in the Bag a New Approach to Food Storage by Michelle and Trent Snow

OK, this one below is more recipes, but it has some awesome ideas, especially if you have some shelf space to have your mason jars. Seriously, you'll never buy packaged side dishes and stuff again (well, except maybe when they are free lol) and the best part is, you know exactly what's going into your mixes. The finished jars also make great gifts - so if you are still trying to make last minute handmade gifts, this title could help?


Dinner Is In The Jar: Quick and Easy Dinner Mixes in Mason Jars or Mylar Bags by Kathy Clark

My goal for 2011 is to expand my food storage. In order to do so, we're going to have to think out of the box more - you've seen my food storage area in past FSF posts, and our home isn't that big, so it's going to take a lot of creativity in order to do so. I'm also hoping to be able to do more canning this coming year, since this past one was a complete and utter bust! (Yes, I'm still mad the the person who switched the labels on those tomato plants I purchased!)

What are your food storage goals for 2011?
