Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps

www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com

Many people tell me the biggest thing that keeps them from building and/or

using their food storage is the time it takes to prepare it! I have been doing this for over 10 years now and I am here to tell you that in the long run it

actually saves you a lot of time! It may be a little different and a learning curve may be involved, but it’s all in what you get used to. I typically don’t

spend more than 30 minutes preparing a meal. I’m usually only in my kitchen cooking about an hour a day, usually LESS!

What is time consuming is not having everything you need on hand and

running to the store 3-5 times a week. Not knowing what you are going to

make, trying to find good recipes and make detailed lists takes all the time!

It’s different but Truly Simple: One of my reasons for creating Simple. Healthy. Tasty. was to help make it

easier to feed families healthy meals and to save time doing it! My blog contains all the recipes (and then some) that you will need to eat well off

your food storage. We use our food storage every…single…day! You can also get many of my recipes in easy to print eBooks at my shop! Notice too, that

I have a Menu Planning eBook which has all of the planning and lists done for you. You don’t even need to take the time to plan if you don’t want too.

The hardest part for you is that if you haven’t already, you will have to take the time to start building your supply of food! You will find after the first

little while your supply builds up and things can rotate and run almost like clockwork just by following the principles and steps provided in this book!

If you aren’t used to eating in a Simple, Healthy manner you will find that it may be an adjustment and seem hard at first. I thought that as well….but

after consistently making an effort and trying a few things, I found it wasn’t any harder, it’s just different. It didn’t take my family long to see it was

actually easier on us in so many ways, it is Truly Simple!

The goal is to have a supply of food that you know how to use, is affordable, practical, self-reliant and Healthy! One that is easy to use, rotate and

maintain a supply level which fits the needs of you and your family!

In our family we have tried to build and maintain a one year supply. You will see “year supply” come up a lot throughout this book. If a year supply

Intro

Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps

www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com

isn’t your goal and it’s more or less then that just adjust the numbers

accordingly and know that the principles and steps still work the same!

Simple format to save you time: Since I know time is a major issue, I have tried to write a concise book full

of helpful information that is easy to understand. I don’t want to bog you down with details! Most everything is in bullet point list format with some

links to my favorite tools that can help you learn more if you want too. When I started building our food storage, many times I got bogged down in

the sheer volume of information. It was overwhelming to say the least and caused me to put off what I wish I had just done sooner! I found it really is

just about consistently following the steps described in this book and you will have food storage before you know it.

A large part of this book is about using and rotating your food storage so

you don’t have to worry about expensive and time consuming long term

storage methods. This one thing alone saves lots of time, money, and makes it even more Simple! We have not ever had anything go bad or get

infested, it’s not there long enough.

Most importantly: I wrote this book with the assumption that you look at and spend some time

reading my blog. Lots of info especially on how to turn all your lovely food storage into tasty meals is available and posted regularly on my site

SimpleHealthyTasty.com. You may find it helpful to become a follower, a Fan or to subscribe to the Feed of my blog. I am happy to answer questions

you may have, and I love it when you comment! I learn so much cool stuff from my readers! Also I DON’T assume everyone does things just like I do!

We are all different and what works great for one person may not for another. Be sure to adjust as needed and find what works best for you and

your family! Be flexible, the main principle is having food storage that you

know how to use and promotes health and vitality in every way for you and your family! I hope this book will help you with that!

Use the list on the next page to get a basic idea of what you need for a

well rounded healthy usable food storage. Start with the Basics and

go from there!

Remember the most basic and most important of all items is WATER!

Since it isn’t practical to store a year supply…

½ gallon per person per day for 2 weeks is

recommended. Be sure to count the water in

your hot water heater as part of that supply!

We found these tanks work well for the

additional water storage we needed.

If you don’t have any food storage I

recommend you start with grains and beans

as these are affordable, full of nutrients and

filling!

Next I recommend getting sprouting seeds. Note that many of your

grains and beans will also sprout. (more about sprouting in step 4)

Buy in bulk and watch it build. Start slow with things you know you

will use and what your budget can afford.

ROTATE! (more in Step 2)

Be sure what you buy has good ingredients. (This is where the

healthy part comes in! To see what I consider healthy and not so

healthy ingredients look at my blog post: Ingredients! What to look for

when reading food labels!

Don’t worry about where you will store it! Just get it, you’ll find a

place for it! Watch for storage solutions in my newsletter & blog.

Above all don’t be afraid to cook from scratch. Go to

www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com and start trying recipes and find

favorites your family likes!

Simple Healthy Food Storage

For One Person

Basic Storage: This is not only doable but will keep you far from hungry and it can be tasty

too! Remember use what you store!

300 lbs Wheat (including Kamut and Spelt) 155 lbs Other Grains (oats, millet, brown rice, quinoa, rye, barley, etc.)

50 lbs Raw Nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, etc.) 20 lbs Raw seeds (flax, sunflower, chia, sesame, etc.)

75 lbs Beans (pinto, black, kidney, garbanzo etc.) 60 lbs Raw honey (agave, blackstrap molasses, maple syrup, Sucanat)

3 gal Oils (olive & coconut, both extra virgin cold pressed) 10 lbs Salt (Real, Himalayan or Celtic Salt)

60 lbs Full Vitamin Sprout Mix – (look in Sprouting section) 5 lbs Salad sprout mix – (recipe in Sprouting Section)

6 gal Water – This is a 2 week supply

Garden Seeds (Non-Hybrid, so you have the option to gather seeds for a

perpetual garden)

Spices, Apple Cider Vinegar, Shoyu, Nutritional Yeast, canned coconut milk, baking soda, non-aluminum baking powder, egg replacer, WATER

Expanded Storage:

Fruits and Vegetables (dried from your garden) Squash, potatoes, onions, and apples can easily be stored through the

winter in a basement, fruit room, or garage. Frozen fruits and vegetables from the garden.

Home bottled produce without sugar! (Can use honey, and other natural sweeteners to bottle with.)

NOTE: DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AT LOW TEMPERATURES 90-105 DEGREES KEEPS THE NUTRIENTS AND ENZYMES OF THE FOOD. It also

takes less space than bottled or canned foods. This list was adapted from a list by Yvonee Salcido, from the School of Natural Healing.

Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps

Yep just what it says you need to store what you USE and USE what

you store. This is the easiest way to maintain fresh ingredients. It’s

more economical because you don’t have to pay for expensive long

term storage solutions (most any rodent proof bin or bucket will work)

and you’re not wasting money buying something you may never use.

Pay attention, get an average amount of what your family consumes in

a year. For example we go through about 5 gallons of coconut oil, 100

pounds of rolled oats etc. This doesn’t have to be exact just pay

attention so you have a rough guess.

Make specific space for each item! For example we have found a year

supply of rolled oats for us fills three 5 gallon buckets and our bin in

our pantry. So in our food storage room we have a space that fits

three 5 gallon buckets labeled “Rolled Oats.” When one bucket is

emptied into the pantry bin I know it’s time to look at getting more.

We also have a year supply of space allotted for jars, cans, smaller

containers, etc. of certain items. Only those particular items can go in

that space. We can look at a glance and see how many we have used

and how many we need to get to fill the space. This is known as the

Lazy Person’s Inventory. I must be lazy! I love this method it works

GREAT!

Be sure to use the oldest items first. Newly filled buckets go behind

ones that were filled last time. Food dried, bottled, etc. this year goes

behind or under food done last year.

Don’t worry a lot about keeping a specific inventory, but as you get

closer to your year supply goals use the forms on the following pages

to help you keep track of some of the basic staple items. That way

you will know what last few items you need and how much to get to

have your years worth!

Continue forever with the Lazy Person’s inventory, continue to rotate

and fill in empty spaces! Adjust as necessary!

Step 3: Sprouting

Knowing how to sprout is super important when it comes to healthy

food storage.

Sprouting and eating certain grains, beans, nuts and seeds provide

many nutrients and enzymes that were dormant beforehand! Many of

these are super essential especially if you ever need to live entirely on

your food storage.

Because of the amazing amount of enzymes and nutrients in sprouts I

recommend you eat them daily and rotate them like the rest of your

food storage.

Read below for a very simple sprouting method that works for many

kinds of sprouts.

Full vitamin sprout mix (recipe on page 17):

Taking ¼ cup of this mix and then sprouting it

should provide nearly all needed vitamins and

minerals for one person for one day. Someone

could potentially survive on this for quite some

time. Although they would be very hungry they

could at least get nourishment until able to get

more food. If I only stored one thing it would be

this and of course water! But since I don’t like

being hungry I store much more than just this.

If you don’t care for sprouts at first….Trust me they “grow” on you,

keep trying them most people find they end up really liking them!

Sprouts are great on sandwiches, in salads or thrown in about

whatever you can think of.

Start sprouting today you won’t regret it!

See next two pages for lots of Sprouting info!

Sprouting Made Simple

Jar Method :

What you need:

Wide Mouth Canning Jars

Quarts or Pints

Wide Mouth canning ring

Sprouting Screen, mesh or

netting, or plastic canvas

Sprouting Seeds

Water

What you do:

Place seeds in jar (I like to just cover the bottom of the jar this way I

don’t get more sprouts then we can eat before they go bad but if you

eat lots and lots you can fill the jar as much a 1/3 of the way full)

Soak Seeds, Fill jar with water and let soak 6-8 hours or overnight

Drain and rinse seeds, lay or tilt jar on its side with seeds spread

throughout (if they are all in one clump air cannot circulate and they

can easily mold)

Rinse once or twice a day until sprout is about the size of the seed, or

if growing ones with leaves –until the leaf appears and splits in two

(most sprouts take 1-2 days in the jar method)

Seeds, beans, grains that sprout well with the jar method and about how

long they take to sprout:

Adzuki beans, 2-5 days

Alfalfa, 2-5 days

Barley, 2 days

Buckwheat, 2 days

Broccoli, 2-5 days

Chickpeas, 1-2 days

Clover, 4-5 Days

Fenugreek, 2-5 days

Green peas, 2-3 days

Kamut, 2-3 days

Lentils, 1-2 days

Mung beans, 2-5 days

Quinoa, 1 day

Radish, 2-4 days

Rye, 2-3 days

Spelt, 2 days

Sunflower Seeds

(hulled), 2-3 days

Triticale, 2-3 days

Wheat, 2-3 days

Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps

www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com

Full Vitamin sprout Mix: Gallon Size 2 cups Wheat or Kamut

2 cups Rye or Triticale

2¼ cups Green Lentils

3 cups Whole Green Peas

2 2/3 cups Mung Beans

2 2/3 cups Adzuki

Beans

¼ cup Fenugreek

In large bowl mix everything together. Store in a gallon size bag or bucket.

Keep cold and dry. Sprouts well using the jar method!

Full Vitamin Sprout Mix: Bulk Size 8 cups Wheat or Kamut

8 cups Rye or Triticale

9 cups Lentils

12 cups Whole Green Peas

11 cups Mung Beans

11 cups Adzuki Beans

1 cup Fenugreek

1 cup Diatomaceous Earth (opt.

good for longer term storage)

In 4-5 gallon bucket mix everything together. Store with tight

fitting lid! Keep cold and dry. Sprouts well using the jar method!

Salad Sprout Mix 7 cups Alfalfa

2 cups Red Clover

½ cup Radish seed, optional

½ cup Cabbage or

Broccoli, opt.

These seeds sprout well together and are great in a salad! A great mix to

have in food storage in addition to the full vitamin mix. Mix together or

keep separate. Also sprouts well using the jar method!

Sprouts that do NOT use the jar method to sprout. Just soak to activate the

enzymes. Full of good fats other sprouts may lack. Very Healthy!

Step 4: Gardenin

Everyone should learn and practice some basic gardening skills!

Nothing tastes better than food you grow yourself!

It takes about 5 years of working with poor soil to get good vegetable

garden soil so it’s not something you can wait until last minute to do.

Every year we add a mixture of organic compost,

vermiculite, and peat moss to our garden.

Turkey mulch is also excellent as are cover crops

in the fall. Cover crop is basically spreading

down a seed, like wheat, Rye, etc. in the fall

after harvest and then tilling it in, in the Spring

before planting

With prices going up like crazy it may soon be

cheaper to grow your own food!

Freezing and drying fresh foods can help give

you nutrients and enzymes you need during the

winter.

If you have lots of land, just a little or none you

can grow something. I have seen people with container porch gardens

that produce quite a bit. Small indoor gardens can produce a

surprising amount of herbs, greens, and of course sprouts. (And just

think how easy weeding will be!)

Try to garden as organically as possible for the most available

nutrients!

Growing Lots of Food in a Small Space is my post about our garden!

Be sure to use many non-hybrid seeds and varieties so you can

practice self-sufficiency by harvesting seeds to reuse for the next year

and the next and the next.

Look at the pages below for more info on starting and harvesting

seeds.

Step 4: Gardening

Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps

www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com

Starting and Harvesting Seeds

Starting seeds: What you need:

Peat pellets or pots – Something to grow seeds in. Almost anything

that is at least 2 inches deep and has holes in the bottom will work.

Labels – Popsicle sticks work well or whatever you can think of just be

sure you plants are well labeled.

Seed starting mix – You can buy this or mix your own starting soil.

Dirt from outside does not work well to start seeds.

Spray Bottle or Tray for watering – Seeds do best when misted or

soaked from below.

Plastic bag or other covering to keep seeds covered while germinating.

What you do:

Know about your plant. Does the seed need soaking, scarification

(scaring or scratching the seed with a knife or sandpaper) or

stratification (mimicking winter by placing in a cold dark moist place)?

Does it need light or dark to germinate? When can it be transplanted?

Place prepared seeds in presoaked pellet or pot with moist soil.

Cover (usually just twice the depth of the seed) or press seed into dirt

depending on the type of seed.

Cover in plastic bag while the seed germinates – This will help

maintain proper moisture. Be sure to check the dirt to see that it stays

moist, not too wet but moist.

Keep plants moist by either misting them or letting them soak up

water in a tray that covers about 2/3 of the pot.

Keep in the light or dark depending on plant.

When seeds germinate and plants begin to appear

remove plastic cover. Continue to keep soil warm

and moist as plant grows.

One week before transplanting, harden off plants by

placing them in a shady place outdoors, keep

watered and bring indoors at night if cold

In garden, dig a hole about twice the size of the

root ball. Set into hole so it will be covered with ¼

inch of soil, and press firmly around it

Start Mix: Combine 1/3-1/2 part peat moss with 1 part vermiculite, perlite or combination of the two

Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps

www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com

Harvesting Seeds:

What you need:

Trays, newspaper, or screens to dry seeds

on and a place chosen where you want to

dry them

Containers to put seeds in when

COMPLETELY dry

Labels – you want to be sure to keep your

seeds labeled throughout the entire drying process and then when you

store them! You don’t want to confuse your seeds, many look a lot

alike!

What you do:

Watch and observe your plants so you know how their seeds spread or

when they are ripe.

Choose plants that are healthy, have done well and tasted good to be

the plants you harvest seeds from.

Be sure the seed is ripe, for example if you are getting seed from a

tomato you would leave the tomato on the vine until after it is past the

prime eating time.

Clean seeds well

Lay seeds out on paper or screens and let dry. Small seeds take about

8-12 days to dry, larger seeds take a few days longer.

When seeds are COMPLETELY dry place in containers (not air tight, a

jar with a plastic lid would work) be sure to LABEL!

Store in a cool place, in fact the colder the better this is what keeps

the seeds dormant. Most seeds will keep for at least year in a cool

place. If kept cold like in the fridge or freezer they can keep up to 3-5

years.

To me herbs are a very important part of a Simple. Healthy. Tasty.

food storage. I feel like health care as we know it would change if

there was an Herbalist in every home!

You can read about some of our experiences in the MY STORY section

of my blog! I never cease to be amazed at what

God’s wonderful plants can do!

We have found most illnesses are easy to take

care of at home with just a little know how and

plenty of nutrition.

Obviously we should use good judgment and

common sense and get proper help in an

emergency.

Learn about the herbs and plants that grow in

your local area. And what nutritional

value/healing properties they have.

If you haven’t stored herbs yet…trying to get them all at once can cost

a pretty penny. So start with the single bulk herbs & my 4 very

favorite formulas which are; 1. Infection Formula 2. Spice for Life

(essential oil blend) 3. Anti-Plague 4. Cold Season

Read about what herbs and oils our family uses.

Be sure to grow some herbs as part of your gardening too. It’s just so

self-reliant and so affordable.

The next page has a list of the herbs I try to keep on hand and about

how much I store. I have listed the brands we trust and use and

added the links from where I get them. If you have a favorite

brand/type compare and stock up on what you know and use!

Try not to let all the info overwhelm you. Start with one book or a

class,…. then go from there!

Step 6:

Share

Even though we don’t want to think so, Funny Girl was right…People need people!

It’s always been that way, even though we all seem very independent these days….We all still need each other!

So in order to be truly self-reliant we actually need to rely on one another for help.

This is known as interdependence. You can only be truly independent and self-reliant when you are able to share and communicate well with

others. I always learn so much from others! Every person in my life teaches

me something! So my challenge to you is to never be afraid to share! Share what you

know, share what you are learning, share what you don’t know and

ask others to help you learn. When it comes to food storage, in this book I have tried to share what

I have found works for us. We have had a lot of success with it. My hope in sharing it is that it can help others who are where I was a few

years ago wondering how a year supply could ever be possible. I have spent a lot of time and worked really hard and will continue to

do so that I may share lots of the good, practical and most importantly Healthy things I am experiencing and learning!

I feel like a big part of my mission or calling in life, if you will, is to help others achieve a healthier lifestyle and pass it on to the next

generation. There seems to be so much suffering due to poor health right

now…and I think much of it could be prevented just from understanding and living healthy lifestyle principles.

The family is under fire! I think one of our biggest defenses is to

frequently sit down and SHARE a healthy meal with our family!

Step 6: Share

Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps

www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com

It’s also great to SHARE a Healthy, Tasty, meal with friends and

neighbors. Since I can’t have all my readers over for dinner my hope is that in sharing all my recipes with you… you will in turn share them

with others. I have found that healthy food storage just makes it all easier and

more doable. I hope you will help share in my vision of saving the family one Simple

Healthy Tasty meal at a time! I truly believe that if the family unit is strong then cities, nations and the world will be strong.

the plan: What I plan to do:

I will continue to share and post lots of recipes and helpful healthy

things on my blog! I will work on getting a newsletter together that will share with you

more of our life & what I’m learning, working on etc. It will be short

and infrequent, I don’t want to clutter your inbox, the goal is to inspire!

I will get more comfortable in front of a camera and work on lots of helpful quick videos to help but not take up a lot of your time.

I have been working on free informational handouts to download on my site. I often teach classes and I always share handouts. I will

format them so I can share them with you too!

What I need you to do:

Because of your support I have been able to help more than I ever imagined! I never really thought so many would benefit!

I need you to continue to share as you have been! Share recipes, share healthy food with others, add my button to your blog (the code

is in the text box by my button on the next page), talk about and link

to it on facebook or other social media, print and share handouts I’m going to share on my blog! Heck you can even teach classes too and

share the handouts there! Share this book with others by sending them to my site to download it! Just share, Share, SHARE!

The only way I can accomplish my vision and goals with Simple. Healthy. Tasty. is with your help! I need many more subscribers…

Please help me accomplish this by continuing to share!
