emergency food meals with no power how to cook what to eat power outage food storage problems how to cook in emergency off grid black out
hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper have you wondered what you would really eat in an
emergency short term food stockpile if you couldn't prepare anything if you couldn't use water you
couldn't heat anything all you could do was open and eat foods that you had maybe a bug out situation stockpile foods that
were shelf stable and required no preparation we know emergency situations
happen all the time but we never really know what is coming what to expect we
know we'll have bad times and hardships but under what conditions we're not
always sure I wanted to share with you some ideas of foods that you could store
foods that you could open and eat that required no cooking no water for mixing
nothing just take grab and go food tear open the package have something to eat and do this for many
days at a time it could be a challenge and it might not be something we would
choose to do but it's a reality of an emergency crisis survival situation bug out something that we could face so why not
be prepared for the things emergencies that may happen first think of this start your
day with breakfast what are some things you could do for breakfast could get
your favorite cereals and get some shelf-stable milk that comes in small
packages if you have an individual package of milk you can open it use it
and then the rest isn't going to be spoiled if you have nowhere to store it
and that's a reality that foods that you open and don't use all of it you'd need
a way to store it that it's not going to spoil and you may not have that
breakfast could also be a grano la bars power bars protein bars meal replacement bars that you
actually enjoy and you're willing to eat get foods that you like a hardship time
is not a time to start trying to figure out to eat something that tastes
terrible or that you don't enjoy look for dried fruits individual servings of
fruit small individual containers of juices make sure that you're buying
nutritious foods that are actual 100% juice don't get juice
drinks get 100% juice so that the foods you're storing are actually going to
provide you the nutrients that you need what about lunch
lunch can be as simple as crackers peanut butter packets of meats like tuna
salmon or chicken the small containers are something you could open and eat you
could probably finish and it wouldn't be wasted maybe you even want a little
dessert look at applesauce or pudding packs thinking about dinner look for
open and eat entrees full meals it doesn't just have to be a can of chili or a can of
ravioli there are lots of tear open and eat entrees that are designed to be
microwaved the microwave isn't cooking them any further it's simply heating
them up if you don't have a way to heat them up you still have a meal that's already
prepared for you look for things that you can tear open and eat not foods that you
need to tear open add hot water you may not have that capability to cook or add water there's a wide
variety of entrees that come in all different sorts of flavors from lots of
different manufacturers you can have a different flavor entree meal every single day if you
look through and found meal choices that are appealing to you I even found tortillas
with an eight-month shelf-life pickles olives those kind of things they aren't
necessarily adding nutrition to your diet but they're adding flavor to your diet
they're filling you up and theny may be comfort foods that you enjoy having be
sure that you store can openers paper plates napkins cups plastic utensils and
garbage bags water go to the store walk up and down the aisles look over the things foods
that have a shelf life of at least six months grab and go foods that you could just tear open and
eat don't go down the chip aisle you want foods that are nutritious not chips
and cookies look for open and eat entrees nuts dried fruits power bars
crackers peanut butter honey jelly the kind of foods
you could easily open eat and be satisfied and know that you can go on
and make it through another day short term emergency food meal plan have at least a week's worth of these kind of
foods if not two weeks and rotate them through just like you do your other
foods one idea is to stockpile the foods into a cooler a plastic bin or a bucket and
if you had to evacuate you could grab and go emergency kit grab your cooler a bucket or a plastic
bin and take your emergency food open and eat foods with you make sure in your container you
included a can opener paper plates napkins and some plastic utensils water
they're going to make your mealtime far more enjoyable if you have the utensils
that you need food storage doesn't have to be scary
neither does an emergency situation if we know that we're collecting the things
that we need then we're able to face whatever comes our way knowing that
we'll be all right because we've prepared we've thought about it and
we're going to be able to remain calm and figure out what to do next
