As a fan of cooking from scratch. I’d like to add learning all kinds of food preservation could be a life saver as well. We have to assume there is no electricity or even gas – now while you can learn to can, freeze, dry, pickle, and smoke food. You can get meat on sale now prep it and freeze it then can it so it won’t matter if you are open fire cooking. You can also can the basic ingredients for stews, soups. County Extension Agents have a world of helpful information in your local area. Being pro-active. Even if nothing happens what great skills you have learned.

Sprouts are high in nutrition and do not require much water. Sunflower sprouting is easy. This combined with making your own bread and flat bread is simple and effective. Bread makers will work with solar if you do not know how work with yeast or baking powder. I add ground blue corn and flax seed to yeast and flat bread.

Um, this makes sense actually, you need to get your hands dirty if you want to learn something. You can’t read it from books. I’m just starting too and it is even more difficult as I’m on my Loaded Gun Diet and I have to follow their menus, but with some of these tips I guess it’ll be easier.
