This year we have been focusing on following the counsel of our Church leaders to be prepared for adversity (you can read more about it here at www.providentliving.org). We have put together 72 hour kits (we assembled ours using this guide from Red Cross) , we have 3 months of basic pantry staples on hand, and have put a side a small amount of cash for emergencies. Included in the food storage is what you see in the photo below. We purchased things like flour, wheat, sugar, beans, and rice in bulk and packaged them in cans which are cheap and pest free. The kids had a great time helping us fill the cans, label them and sort them.
Here is a blog with some great recipes using common food storage items: http://everydayfoodstorage.blogspot.com/

Awww man! Where's the picture of the wee one who fell asleep exhausted? Edit this and add him in! :D
So awesome, good for you guys! Just don't tell Brianna and Arick where you stashed your cash--kidding :) Hey, what's that blue machine Andrew's using? Did you seal the #10 cans at home yourselves or did you go to a cannery?
Don't you LOVE the look of all those cans stacked together? There's just something so satisfying about it. Let me know if you get the canner again...it would be great to get it for a few days and have several people use it.
