Have a Survival Kitchen Adventure With Your Own Homemade Convenience Mixes

January 12th, 2013 |

Who says prepping has to be boring? If your cooking skills are better than mine–and that doesn’t take much–who says you can’t have an adventure in your own survival kitchen? And who says you have to use prepackaged, store-bought convenience mixes? What kind of magic could you perform with simple ingredients like powdered milk and bouillon granules?

The January/February 2013 issue of “Backwoods Home Magazine” includes part two of a series on Food Security 101. I featured an excerpt from the first article here. This second article includes recipes for homemade convenience mixes for you to try, including…

Baking mix
Universal muffin mix
Pizza dough
Cream of anything soup mix
Onion soup mix
Breading mix
Taco seasoning
Ranch dressing mix
Hot cocoa mix
Russian tea mix

Once you’ve seen the article excerpt below, take a look at the full article for the recipe details.

Convenience Mixes Make Life Easier

By Rowena Aldridge

Last issue we talked about some things you can do to stretch your food budget and make great use of every bit of food you buy. This article is full of convenience foods you can make yourself and keep on hand to make your life easier.

When I look at the things that are available in the stores to make cooking simpler and quicker, I see boxes and boxes of mixes filled with fat and sodium and devoid of vitamins and nutrients. When I look at the ingredient list, I see all kinds of words I can’t pronounce. Then I look at the price — yikes!

Your basic mix preferences may vary according to your family’s tastes and needs. But you may want to vacuum seal packages of one or more in your survival pantry for long term food storage. Round up the ingredients you need and let your survival kitchen adventure begin!

Hey there, I just came across your website whilst looking up stuff on Disaster Cooking, good stuff, we need more info like this out there I think!

We just started a Kickstarter campaign for a survival cookbook. “Cooking with Fire: The Disaster Cookbook. How to cook when the lights go out.” If you are a fan of cooking or disasters, check it out. ;-) We have some really swell pledge rewards!
