72" of Bliss

Today my husband and I took a few hours out of our Sunday to put together our 72" Harvest free standing food rotation system we received from Shelf Reliance. As stated previously in the "Story" section on my web page, I am notorious for stocking up on canned goods as they go on sale. Up until now I had been keeping all of our canned goods stowed away in our pantry where I would systematically label the top of each and every can with the expiration date, as to make sure we were eating the foods by their expiration date. 

Before I used to do this, I can't tell you how many times I would go in to our pantry, reach for a can of one thing or another, only to find out that my sad little can of green beans or cream of mushroom soup had been lost in the shuffle of the back of my pantry and were 6 months past their expiration date. What a waste! I am glad to say that because of the innovative free standing food rotation systems from Shelf Reliance, all that wastefulness is a thing of the past!

Food storage management has never been easier thanks to Shelf Reliance Food Rotation Systems.

Homemade Cornbread

As promised, here is the recipe for delicious homemade cornbread using THRIVE foods from Shelf Reliance. This recipe will make about 12 servings, and will take you only about 15 minutes to prepare, and about 30 minutes to cook depending on your oven. (I have an electric oven, so my cornbread took about 45 minutes to bake.)
The ingredients you will need are as follows:

• 1/2 cup butter, melted 
• 1 cup THRIVE white sugar 
• 2 THRIVE whole eggs, rehydrated (2 tbsp powder + 4 tbsp water) OR 2 fresh eggs 
• 1 cup buttermilk OR 3 tbsp THRIVE powdered milk + 1 cup water + 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice 
• 1/2 tsp THRIVE baking soda 
• 1 cup THRIVE cornmeal 
• 1 cup THRIVE white flour 
• 1/2 tsp THRIVE iodized salt  

Mixing and baking instructions are as follows:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees 
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar.  Add prepared eggs/fresh eggs and prepared buttermilk/fresh buttermilk and continue to whisk.  

       3. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl, mixing thoroughly; add to the wet ingredients. Stir until       combined, but do not over-mix. 

        4. Pour batter into a greased muffin pan or 8 x 8 inch baking dish.  Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. 

Fall finally showed up...

Without a doubt, my most favorite season is Fall. The weather, the holidays, the turning of the leaves...I could go on and on.  If you're anything like me, not only do you enjoy breaking out your boots and jacket as the weather begins to change, but you also enjoy breaking out your crock pot and firing up your oven with some delicious baked goodies. Tomorrow, I'll be making one of my favorites...Two Bean Turkey Chili, and what goes better with chili than cornbread!? As I looked over my pantry this afternoon, deciding if a run to the grocery store was in order, do you know what I was pleasantly surprised to find? I didn't need to go ANYWHERE! Because of Shelf Reliance and my Q, I have all the necessary odds and ends I need to whip up a delicious chili dinner, AND the cornbread to go along with it.
