The other day a friend of mine gave me a tip that you can obtain an entire case of bananas from most Wal-Marts in the nation simply by contacting the Produce Manager and asking them to take their old bananas off of their hands. The standard cost is only $5! There are instances in which some of the Wal-Marts have elected to donate their used produce to Food Banks or other community help centers, but it’s certainly doable a lot of the time in many areas of the U.S. Regardless of how you feel...

Knowing that I’d be out of sorts this week and that the server work would be underway I put together this recipe about a week and a half ago. I don’t know about you, but after cooking in the kitchen I can completely lose my appetite. But I had to taste this though, right? After one bite I remembered once again why this dish is good as a comfort dish, a very inexpensive dish (especially when there are coupons involved) and can even hang out with other dinner party dishes to boot! Who knew that...

When I was 13, an elderly woman took me under her wing and taught me this "special" recipe that had been in her family for generations. My mother would then ask me to make it for her every St. Patrick's Day proclaiming "you make it better than anyone else"--yes, Mom. Psychology for Children 101.  *grin* It's definitely a twist on the typical Irish dish, but I crave it throughout the year and it is yummy. I've also made it exclusively from shelf-stable foods. So, since I am quite under the...

by Kellene We’ve got lots going on today and dinner is on my mind, so I’m just going to share a little tidbit with you today—not profound, or highly significant, but something to gnaw on nonetheless. What's for dinner? Yesterday was a very busy and draining day. I’m not ashamed to say that when it came time to cook dinner, I was not up to creating some gourmet, drool-worthy dish. I didn’t even want to go downstairs to my pantry to get some inspiration. Seriously, I didn’t want to even walk...

Today I’ve been doing a lot of research on future articles while my stomach grumbled—I’m ignoring it for now. But for some reason I’ve been fantasizing about all kinds of quick meals that I wanted to make tonight for dinner. And if it’s a quick, nutritious meal, then it’s bound to have a pressure cooker involved (at least in my house). So I realized that I could share some of these recipes with you. The first two are made in a pressure cooker, the other two are made simply in regular pans....

Doesn't that look delicious? utopiankitchen.wordpress.com Ribs, meatballs, steak, corned beef and ground beef–made from wheat? You bet! And it’s tasty too!!! As covered in the last 2 days of our articles, “wheat meat” is a GREAT alternative for traditional protein sources in your food storage. It’s also healthy for you and requires less energy for your body to process than “regular meat.” “Wheat meat” is also known as seitan (pronounced say-tan´), wheat gluten, and is sometimes also referred...

Alright.  You keep being told to store wheat right?  But I bet that you’re wondering what the heck to do with it.  I do address different ways you can use wheat in a previous article, and one of those ways is obviously bread.  Let’s face it.  Bread making in our homes is a lost art.  I forced myself to learn for three reasons.   1) I knew that if there was an emergency which required me to live off of my food storage, I darn well better learn how to make bread out of all of this wheat I was...

      Friday before last I decided to throw a party at my home. I wanted it to be an enjoyable night for the girlfriends in my life, so I threw in some paraffin hand treatments and made tons of food from my food storage supplies.  We had 3 main dishes, 2 side dishes, an appetizer and 2 desserts.  Would you believe, the food disappeared rapidly with countless requests for recipes?   After everyone had enjoyed their fill of yummy food – yes, I did say “yummy” and yes, it was all made from what...
