When starting your food storage always remember.. Baby Steps.. Don't try to rush into making a food storage plan. Start out with just buying a few extra cans every time you shop. or if there is a good sale item to buy that.
Like recently butter was at a super price so I canned butter for our winters supply. Just the thing. Now with dehydrated foods. People get discouraged with re-hydrating them for me I find with items like textured vegetable protein or potato's ( not the mashed but diced and sliced and has browns) it works great to take a container for me it is a pint container that I fill half full of the dehydrated then top the container with water.I do this the day before I want to cook them up. when you do this you won't be able to tell the difference from them and the freshly sliced potato's.
With beans you first have to start them to boil let them simmer for approximately fifteen minutes then set aside in the fridge overnight. the other way to do it is let the soup simmer for about two hours to get them re hydrated.
Always remember that they isn't any set food plan each individual has their own tastes and food favorites stock up accordingly to your own tastes.
Canned meat is always fun. I will have a post later on when I start my winter hamburger and roast canning.
