I have to admit, that when we are low on pantry supplies, low on food in the freezer, accompanied by low finances, I can get depressed. However, I love to be creative in the kitchen, and make new recipes with whatever we have on hand. I also find inspiration from other sources.
Our family loves to watch Little House episodes, and it often reminds me to get creative. We recently watched the episode where they are in an abandoned house in a snow storm, and are about to shoot their horse for food. Thankfully, an Indian comes to their rescue.
This week we are out of canola oil, about out of flour, sugar, brown sugar and milk. I decided to put some of the remaining flour into homemade biscuits, and make homemade gravy with the marked down sausage I had in the freezer. Thanks to the chickens we'll enjoy eggs too. Because I am aiming to get away from processed foods, I chose to make an cake from scratch, using canned fruit. I can't wait to can pears, apples, and other fruits next year. I will find so many ways to cook with them.
Thankfully, the good Lord urged me to buy a few extra pounds of butter when it was on sale for $1.50/lb. Those had gone in the freezer, and have helped with baking biscuits and making lunch packings.
