Goodies to add --
pudding mixes - 24 packages
cocoa 2#
spices -- chili powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla
extract(lots), seasoning salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning,
cumin, poultry seasoning, curry powder, cajun seasoning, worcestershire
sauce, lots of soy sauce, dry mustard, nutmeg, bottled lemon juice,
chocolate chips - anywhere between 12 oz and 5 lb, depending on the
season and your family's habits
ditto for marshmallows
peanut butter - 3 big (40oz) jars or more if major kid fodder ( my kids
eat PB by the spoonful as a snack - also mix with dry milk and honey as
a candy.)
ketchup -- 6 bottles -- kids will eat many things if slathered in
ketchup
mustard, yellow and Dijon -- big jar of eachMom will eat many things if
doused in Dijon
hot sauce -- 3 bottles of Louisiana Hot sauce. Dad will eat many things
if spotted with hot sauce
canned fruits and pie fillings --at least 48 cans assorted -- comfort
food and great desserts
canned meats --commercial or home canned - 24 cans 12 oz or larger. Also
add canned salmon or tuna. Include Spam, canned hams.
Dry creamer- 3 large jars - use to make hot cocoa mix - stock extra
cocoa powder. also add to sauce mixes using dry milk to make the
mouthfeel "creamier" -- esp. good in pasta sauces and mac and
cheese.
mac and cheese or pasta/rice and sauce mixes -- really handy on days
when everyone is dragging. Can be made successfully by 9 year olds on
own in one pot (no drain) method. Buy the 4/$1 mac on sale and
storebrand or Aldi noodles and jazz up to taste. Get a bunch -- kids
will eat them anyways.
Ramen as above, great kid and teen fodder, lots of calories, quick and
can be munched cold and crunchy also. Get a couple of cases and stash
in buckets -- kids will eat them anyways.
Dry cereal - get big bags at restaurant supply or bulk stores or take
sealed bags out of boxes, label and put in labeled buckets. If cereal
gets stale, it can be refreshed by recrisping for 10 min in a low oven.
"Puppy Chow", "Rice Krispie Squares" and "Party Mix" are traditional
holiday/birthday fare in our house -- comfort foods
To make dry milk more palatable, add 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla
extract per gallon. Hershey chocolate syrup in squeeze bottles also
stores well.
Jams and jellies -- 12 10oz jars -- more if your kids are PBJ fiends.
That's all I can think of this morning, but store things your family
LIKES. If you adore kim-chee -- stock up on it or Vegemite or orange
marmalade, or pickled pigs' feet -- you get the idea -- this is YOUR
"hollow log".
Please feel free to share any of this food storage info with your kith
and kin, and folks you don't really know from Adam's housecat if it'll
do any good.
