How to Feed a Family for a Month from Your Stockpile<\/a><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

There are all sorts of situations that can have you eating from your stockpile for a month or so.\u00a0 Maybe you have an unexpected expense that means a weekly trip to the store is out of the question. Maybe there\u2019s a problem with the local transportation and deliveries aren\u2019t making it to your area. Maybe your car broke down and there\u2019s nothing within walking distance.<\/p>\n

Whatever the reason, eating from your stockpile does not have to be boring and unpleasant. If it\u2019s nonstop beans and rice, you\u2019re doing something wrong.<\/p>\n

What to stock up on<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, you should be stocking things you genuinely enjoy \u2013 and things that are similar to how you already eat. If you suddenly switch to nothing but buckets of food with ultra-carby, low protein offerings, you are going to be a) bored and b) lethargic.<\/p>\n

At the same time, for most of us, the food we stock up on for the longer term will not be exactly the same. We live in a world where most of us can have fresh produce, meat from the butcher shop, and a gallon of milk whenever we want it.<\/p>\n

So when you build a stockpile, it\u2019s important to realize that while you can make it similar, it\u2019s not going to be exactly the same.<\/p>\n

Our stockpile relies on freeze-dried and canned meats, freeze-dried and canned veggies, grains, and loads of spices and seasonings.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a guide to eating from your stockpile for a month<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wrote a book called The Stockpile Cafe about eating from your pantry for a month with no fresh ingredients. It\u2019s got menus for 7 dinners per week, along with serving suggestions and a shopping list. There are some ideas for thrifty stockpile breakfasts and lunches, too.<\/p>\n
