Simplified Food Storage Plan
For some reason I felt like I needed to make my meal plan more simple. The one I've come up with uses less overall ingredients and in my mind is easier to purchase, store and transport as needed. This new plan call for a single breakfast option, a single lunch option, and four weeks' worth of soups/stews for dinner. Like I said, very simple! Especially when compared to my previous 3 month plan. But I feel good about it, and I can add diversity once I've got the basics figured out :)
Breakfast is oatmeal. I plan on eventually drying different kinds of fruit to "spice things up a bit" so we don't get bored eating the same thing every day... I also would like to add some dehydrated eggs to our storage so that on occasion we can have some scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Lunch is beans and rice. Kind of boring, but it'll do. I also will be storing some peanut butter and flour, in case I'm able to make some bread for sandwiches, etc. Plus a spoonful of nut butter is a great snack and could be used to either bulk up a meal or eaten in between meals when hungry.
As for dinner, here's what I have planned:
