Like I said, Liesa’s book is inspired. She got me to realize that I can mesh what we actually eat with food storage. I just need to keep up the work and planning I’ve been doing to adapt recipes, etc. Some meals will come completely from food storage, others will have fresh ingredients in addition […]
Mini Chicken B’Steeyas
I made these today for cooking club tonight. They are super yummy and surprisingly easy to make. The bonus is that you can make them ahead and freeze them for later–which I am going to do because I think I might need one or two of these every day as a little snack. I’ll let […]

Blood Orange Cupcakes with Faux Buttercream Icing
I finally figured out what to do with my two blood oranges! Why not make cupcakes? I sort of threw this recipe together from a couple of recipes I like to use. The cupcakes are super moist. You can use your favorite cupcake recipe and just add some zest. I’ll be honest, the cupcakes turned […]
