Do you love to cook breakfast for your family as much as I do? There is something really awesome about cooking a meal together as a family. Now that’s it’s down to just Mark and me at home, breakfast is a whole lot different than when we had a house full of family or friends when we would cook breakfast for a large group. I learned from my daughter and son-in-law to bake bacon in a 9″ by 13′” pan instead of the cookie sheet idea. It’s a lot easier and less splatterfrom the grease. I do buy thick center cut bacon from Costco, it’s my favorite.
If you stock your pantry with the basics like flour, baking soda, baking powder, honey, salt, vanilla, maple syrup, oil, etc. you can make so many recipes. Here is my post showing you the basics of what you need in your pantry. Linda’s Pantry Ideas
If you look at my pantry idea article you will see the items I like to store so I can make pancakes, biscuits, bread, waffles, crackers, pasta, cookies, crepes, tortillas, muffins, and so much more. Here’s the deal, if you have those few items you can make so many meals that will fill the belly. You can add meat, beans, fruits, and vegetables and you are set for feeding your family after a disaster, a job loss, or loss of income for some reason. You will not need to depend on anyone but yourself. What a sense of peace that will give you.
If you know how to make some of these recipes, please teach others so they can learn to be self-reliant too. If we have a disaster, food will become scarce. No, I’m not trying to scare you, I just want to teach the world to be prepared for the unexpected.
