These burritos are easy to make and require mostly "things on hand". They are so easy to throw together, they take under 30 minutes start to finish if you have pre-cooked or canned chicken. Did I mention that they are DELICIOUS? All of the amounts can be played with to suit your tastes. You can also round up the chicken or add an extra can of your favorite ingredient to get 10-12 burritos out of the recipe. There is so much enchilada sauce that it can even be split into two 9x13's for a double batch. Enjoy!
Green & White Chicken Burritos
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (or 1-2 cans)
1 can cream of celery soup (cream of chicken is okay)
1 4.5 oz can chopped green chilis
1 can white beans, drained & rinsed
1 tsp onion salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbs cumin
2 cups cheese (monterey jack is great, or a mexi blend)
1 large can green enchilada sauce (I use Las Palmas)
8 8" flour tortillas
Mix soup, chilis, beans, chicken and seasonings. Butter bottom of 9x13 pan. Pour about 1 cup sauce in bottom and spread around. Fill and roll each tortilla with about 2/3 cup filling and a handful of cheese. Pour remaining sauce over burritos. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 for 15-20 minutes until bubbly. This recipe freezes well.
Just a reminder, I consider this "food storage" because cheese and tortillas both freeze well (so long as you allow 2+ days for them to fully thaw in refrigerator) and you can always use canned or pre-cooked and frozen chicken breasts.

Green Tomato Raspberry Jam
These items are great additions to your food storage and are on sale at Smith's through Tuesday:
Campbell's chicken noodle or tomato soups 2/$1, Colgate toothpaste 4.6 oz $.94, Kraft mac & cheese 2/$1.
This is something great to do with your tomatoes that didn't ripen before the frost. Another great thing to do is wrap them in newspaper/paper towels/whatever... and store in a cool place. Mine were ripening slowly into December last year.
Green Tomato Raspberry Jam
4 c. green tomatoes, ground
3 c. sugar
1 (6 oz.) pkg raspberry Jell-O
Grind tomatoes in blender (with skin, uncooked) until fairly smooth. Seeds should still be intact, they give the visual illusion of raspberry jam.
Bring tomatoes and sugar to a boil over medium heat.
Stir & cook for 10 minutes.
Add Jell-O (giving the taste illusion of raspberry jam).
Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Spoon into clean, hot Mason jars and seal using inversion method -turn upside down and let sit over night. Check for seal in morning by pushing on lid. If it clicks up and down it didn't seal right. Put that jar in the fridge and use first.

Buttery Breadsticks/Pizza Crust
Well, I haven't been living on my budget and with all the "spending more" I actually have very little to show for in my food storage closet. It's seeming pretty thin, but no better time than case lot time to repent right?
The number one easiest way to begin a food storage that you can lean on and really benefit from having is to buy cases of the foods you frequently use. For example, I blow through chopped green chilies and was always frustrated because I thought I had "just bought a bunch of those" and was out again! But my definition of "a bunch" was five (two of which I immediately used in whatever recipe prompted me to buy them). Welcome to the world of cases and no longer making all these emergency trips to the grocery store (not to mention the serious cash you save by not paying whatever the current full price is every time you shop)!
Anyways, if you are a newbie, just buy a case of two staple items and in a few months from now you'll be sold. For me, some good staples that are on sale are:
Harmons> whole dried eggs, $13.99!!!! (The best sale price in the last year has been $18.99 and I love having these on hand. I am out of fresh eggs right now, but still had pancakes tonight for dinner.)
Smiths> Kroger peanut butter, case of 12 18oz jars, $12 (how much do you usually pay for a jar of peanut butter?? at least twice this much right?)
Smiths> tomato sauce, case of 24, $4.80
***Just add 1Tbs or so of Italian seasoning and voila you have pizza sauce!
macy's> diced or whole green chiles, case of 24, $9.36 (that's .39 each!!! I know I've paid as much as $1 for these!)
Macy's> 8 oz cheeses $1.00
**put this cheese in your freezer, pull it out the day before you want pizza and you can have a cheese pizza for $1.39, plus the cost of your yeast, flour and salt. And you thought Little Sleezers was a good deal!
If you want to get more inspired by a full listing of deals, click on the link to the right for "grocery smarts" for free listings to peruse and print or click on "deals to meals" to subscribe to a service that's a little more prepared for you and includes recipes to use the foods that are currently on sale.
Don't think you need an entire case of sweetened condensed milk? post a comment and let the rest of us know. Someone else may want to split it with you. Also, I heard today that Macy's will sell individual cans at the "case lot" price. Other places will not.
Pretty much any bread recipe qualifies as "food storage" right? But not every recipe is this good and SO STINKING EASY!!! I PROMISE you can make this and get praised by your family. Took it to a graduation party this summer and every female wanted the recipe (come on guys, pitch in and learn to cook! :))
I got it from "food storage made easy" (link is in the list). She also does a video of herself making this incase you need more instruction.
30 Minute Breadsticks OR No-Fail Deep Dish Pizza Crust
(If it is too thick for your family, you can either half the recipe or put one full recipe onto two cookie sheets)
2 1/2 C. Medium Hot Water
5 tsp. SAF Instant Yeast*
2 Tbsp. Sugar
3 Tbsp. Oil
1 tsp. Salt
6 C. Flour (you can do half all-purpose and half white wheat or 100% whole wheat)
1 to 2 Cubes of Butter
Directions:
1. Pour medium hot water in mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and allow to dissolve.
2. Add sugar, salt, and oil. Gradually add approximately 6 cups of flour.
3. Melt 1-2 cubes butter on cookie sheet in oven as it is heating to 400 degrees and melt in oven.
4. Place dough on cookie sheet and press to fill pan, make sure butter gets on top of the dough. If making bread sticks, sprinkle with garlic salt.
5. Allow to double in size (About 5 minutes)
6. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until desired browning is accomplished.
(for pizza, cook 10 minutes, remove from oven, add toppings and cook again until cheese melts)
7. Cut into strips or top with favorite pizza toppings.
* When using regular yeast change amount to 2 Tbsp.

Pasta Enchilada Soup
So, last week I called our Wal-mart to see if they price match Buy Low and they don't because it's not in their market area. The furthest north Wal-mart that will is in Lindon. I went to the Lindon and Orem stores and bought the few 12 oz. containers they had and heard that Buy Low's lines were insanely long so I didn't even try. Basically, I failed at my honey buying mission, but learned that in the future I will ignore the Buy Low sales, no matter how good (at least until they open one up here!).
Here are some great deals at Smith's for those of us shopping last minute for our BBQ's. (deals run through Tuesday, July 7)
Kroger ice cream 56 oz. 99cents!!
dozen eggs 99cents!
Beef hot dogs (all sizes & brands) 50% off
85% lean ground beef $1.89/lb
Charmin 12 double rolls $4.79
Breyers ice cream $1.99
Kraft mayo/miracle whip $1.97 (condiments are a good starting place for beginning your food storage)
hamburger & hotdog buns 10/$10 (can freeze the extras)
Albertson's has a couple deals worth stocking up on too:
Taco Bell taco shells Buy 15, 50cents each
Skippy Peanut Butter 15 oz 99cents with in-ad coupon!
_____________________________________________________________________
This recipe is so good. Everyone that tries it gets hooked and wants a copy. AND it's one of those meals I can throw together from my pantry. Even without the chicken or the condiments it is delicious.
PASTA ENCHILADA SOUP
3-16 oz cans chicken broth (48 oz total)
1-4.5 oz can chopped green chilies
2 cans cream-style corn
2-10 oz cans enchilada sauce
1 or 2-10 oz cans chicken
5 oz. vermicelli broken into 2" pieces
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp oregano
Combine broth, chilies, corn, and sauce in heavy pot.
Bring to a boil.
Add remaining ingredients.
Return to boil and simmer until the pasta is done.
Serve with crumbled fritos, shredded cheese, sour cream, olives... whatever you like!
*I use chicken broth powder- it takes much less space to store and is cheaper.
*Regular corn is okay to use instead of cream-style.
*Old El Paso has best flavor. Is worth the extra money in this recipe.
*Angel hair or thin spaghetti works okay too. For a gluten free meal, make it with gluten free corn pasta. I think it's even better!!

Blender Pancakes
I added some handy links in the right column for different sites about food storage including a food storage calculator.
If you want to shop the sales at lots of different stores but don't have the time or desire to drive around, you can price match advertised sales at Wal-mart. I have never had to show them the actual ad, but was told once that they were going to start requiring that you have the ads with you, so it's not a bad idea to stick the ads somewhere each week incase you want to do this.
That being said, here are some hot deals worthy of stocking up on:
Smiths> Chicken breasts still on sale for $1.89/lb
Smiths> Kraft BBQ sauce $0.69/18 oz.
Smiths> green seedless grapes $.99/lb (can freeze and throw in fruit smoothies, makes them juicy and delicious)
Harmons> Dreyers ice cream 2/$4
Harmons> Grandma Sycamore bread 3/$5
BEST DEAL of THE WEEK....
$1 for 12 oz honey at Buy Low grocery in Provo. I know it's a long drive, but we could order as a group. Let me know if you want some. I'll call Wal-mart and see if they'll price match that particular store. Honey at Costco has been about $2 per pound lately. This is the best deal I've seen in the last year. And, by the way, honey pretty much lasts forever. If it turns hard as a rock, you just need to gently heat it and it's back to its regular consistency.
_____________________________________________________________________
Here's the recipe for the blender pancakes just to get the ball rolling:
Whole Wheat Blender Pancakes
1 cup milk (or 1 cup water and 3 Tbs powdered milk)
1 cup wheat berries, uncooked (whole wheat, not ground)
2 eggs (or 2 Tbs powdered eggs and 1/4 cup water)
2 Tbs oil
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbs honey, sugar or brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
In blender, combine milk and wheat. Blend 4-5 minutes, until smooth.
Add other ingredients and blend on low speed just until incorporated.
Bake on hot griddle. Makes 10 1/4 cup pancakes. Add frozen blueberries while on griddle to make this even yummier.
Homemade Syrup
Water
Brown Sugar
White Sugar
Mapeleine brand flavoring
Follow directions on the Mapeleine label, but instead of the two cups of sugar it calls for, use one cup sugar and one cup brown sugar for a richer flavor.

Group Ideas
Sorry, I've been a little out of it with a bum right shoulder that is especially irritated by a keyboard & mouse...
Here are a couple of deals that are stock-up-worthy if you can make it to Smith's today or tomorrow:
Barilla Pasta $1 for 16 oz.
Ground Turkey $1.99 for 1.25 lbs.
Dole Pineapple $$1 for 20 oz.
Aquafresh Toothpaste $1. (They have a great kids' pump if you're stuck on your brand)
Suave Deodorant $1. (I switched to this from Secret and like it)
Here is the list of ideas I had about what we might want to exchange ideas and/or meet about as a group. Anyone have any input??
recipe exchange (include nutrition info or points if you have it)
using coupons
how to use a pressure cooker
exchanging foods we have too much of or our family doesn't like
splitting/sharing cases, exchanging before food expires
cooking classes with long term foods (wheat, beans, rice, etc)
group orders for best price
Kitchen Kneads presentation (it's free and they will bring, grinders, solar ovens, etc)
sprouting
canning
taste testing long term stuff -like different types of dried milks, fruits & veggies, etc
tricks, shortcuts, etc -like using vinegar to make your own buttermilk
Why don't we start by putting together some of our favorite recipes that are almost entirely from our pantries (or that can be delicious even without the meat or the celery or whatever). Basically any simple recipe that you feel could come from your three month supply. Email them to me and I'll put together some kind of post sorted by food type once a month. (or if we get enough good recipes we could get together and assemble our own food storage recipe books using three ring binders and page protectors)
***If you are reading this blog because you clicked on the link in the newsletter, email Shelley that you want to join the group and I'll include you on all emails and invitations (you won't be required to come!). And I won't share your email with anyone.

First post
I think it is difficult for most people to meet right now, but there's a lot of information that we can share in the meanwhile to help motivate one another. So, please post your comments and share your knowledge! This is meant to be a "group discussion".
This site is independent of any organizations or religions. These are OPINIONS that are not endorsed by anyone or any group. Information about places to shop and the prices they will charge is not provided as an advertisement for that company and there's always the chance that some information is incorrect. If that happens, I'm very sorry.
It's a good week to start your food storage by attending our stake's cannery appointment this Thursday, June 11 from 5-9pm. Please comment if you are going to attend and are willing to pick up something for someone who can't (example, I'd love to go, but hubby's out of town ;)).
Also, it is case lot sale time at Macey's. Here are some of the best buys:
29 oz pears or peaches are $.99
Chunk light tuna $.50
#10 can dehydrated whole eggs $18.99 (LOVE THESE!! and good price)
50 lb bag sugar $19 (25 lbs at cannery is $14.05, so this is a great deal!)
And just down the road at Smith's are some great deals to stock up on:
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts $1.89 per pound
Beef chuck roast or steak $1.79 per pound
85% lean ground beef $1.89 per pound
24 packs of Kroger water bottles are 4/$5.00 (great for those on "step 2")
Charmin double rolls 12 pack $5.99 (good price if you are hooked on Charmin!)
Visit http://providentliving.org/content/display/0,11666,8133-1-4352-1,00.html to view the cannery's price list. Remember if you find a better deal elsewhere or just can't be away from home to can your food at the cannery, we have a stake canner that I can get for you. You will need to buy the food (from cannery or elsewhere) and the cans, lids and labels from the cannery. You can visit the cannery for these items at any time, not just on our stake's assigned days.
Visit http://providentliving.org/ and click on the link at the bottom about "Family Home Storage: A new message" to read about the advice recently published in the Ensign. Just a recap- step one is to "gradually build a small supply of food that is part of your normal, daily diet until it is sufficient for three months". Step two is to store drinking water. Step three is to build a financial reserve and finally step four is to start working on long term foods such as wheat. So, don't get overwhelmed! Focus on the step you are on!
P.S. If you haven't followed any blogs before, click on the symbols for "subscribe to posts" and "all comments" and you'll be kept in the loop when something new gets posted!
