How many of you have the majority of your family’s favorite recipes stored electronically (on your computer or online somewhere like Plan to Eat)? What would you do if you couldn’t access those electronics? What if you are hurt or out of town or too sick to cook and someone else needs to cook for you?
Take 10 minutes and go print 5 favorite family recipes. Put them in a binder. It doesn’t have to be fancy. Just put them in there. You can organize them later when you have more time. For now, just print them so you have them! Then, next time you have 10 minutes, go do it again! Easy Peasy!
Here are the 5 recipes I printed today:
Lack of Time
I’ve found that there are lots of reasons that keep people from becoming better prepared or more self reliant. But as a young mom one of the top reasons is time, or rather a lack of time.
But really, I don’t think us young moms are alone….
I think that many, if not most, in our fast paced society feel that time slips through their fingers regularly. And when feeling rushed and anxious, it can be difficult to invest time in becoming more prepared and self reliant.
10 Minute Preparedness Projects!
But very one of us can find 10 minutes, right? Every few weeks, I challenge myself to spend 10 minutes on preparedness and self-reliance and I invite you to join me! Simple, right?
You can see all the 10 minutes preparedness projects here: 10 Minute (or less) Preparednes Projects.
I am my husband’s care giver, with 2 cancers, dementia and stage 4 kidney failure, my days are hectic with appointments and tests. So trying to find time to prep is really hard, but with my canned goods and dehydrated ingredients I can maintain good meals for his health.
Today is going to be “putting up” dry soup mixes.
While waiting for appointments, I scan the Internet…always looking for make ahead, just add water, and meals in jars recipes.
I feel blessed IF I get 10- minutes so when I do….I go into my prep mode.
Good for you Kathy!
