How Long Will Your Food Last

Storing food and stockpiling is a great idea for being prepared. One issue that can arise is how long is it before food expires? How long do canned goods last, and how long can you store your staples? I came across this dilemma just two days ago when I went through my pantry to rotate some food, having a plan to use up some older items in meals in order to add some new ones and keep everything fresh. I came across ajar of salsa. It contained no expiration date to guide me, and I hadn’t marked one on the … Continue reading →

Fathers & Food

Most of us have some memories of our mothers making and serving delicious foods, some every day, some just on the holidays. I grew up a very hungry person, well able to consume large pizzas in a single sitting. So I have compassion for hungry children. My wife was in an exciting, entertaining, and not a fun car accident, and while she recovers, I get to cook most of the household foods. There are some downsides to that. While I like quality, tasty foods, I get so hungry that don’t care, as long as it is healthy enough, rather than … Continue reading →

With Food Prices Getting Higher, Taking Action is a Must

I don’t know if you have noticed, but food prices are higher than they have ever been, and all indications are that they will continue to go even higher. There are several reasons for this: Increased cost of fuel to transport food Increased world population leading to a high demand for food Smaller food harvests on many essential foods, including corn, grain, and peanuts Recessed economy leading to lower food stock in stores as retailers strategize to reduce their waste and cost of doing business Decreased value of the US dollar. While naturally, there are fluctuations in food prices from … Continue reading →

Healthy Elegant Recipes for the Holidays, Part 2

It may make me odd but I love Brussels sprouts. Even more odd is that my teenager loves Brussels sprouts. I did not grow up eating Brussels sprouts so the constant call of a mom saying “eat your Brussels sprouts” did not taint my view of this delicious vegetable. One year I served my own recipe for Thanksgiving and it was not well received by a few guests who were veggie haters. I plan to convert those veggie haters this year with this amazing recipe. Brussels sprouts are also very healthy for you! They are believed to have anti cancer … Continue reading →
