·      Wheat

·      White Rice
·      Quick Oats
·      Macaroni
·      Pinto Beans
·      White Sugar
·      Powdered Milk
·      Cooking Oil or Shortening

     Update 11/17/17: not really a healthy kit, but go to the storage center and create your own.

Page 13 has a short section on Wheat Grass.  I have been told that my cats will eat the grass and leave my plants alone. So I am going to try it.

Food Storage Friday: Black Bean Tacos by heather from http://secretsofmom.com/?p=3089
This recipe is another delicious accident. Last weekend we went to a party for the 4th of July. Our good friend’s partner was thoughtful enough to make bean burger patties for us. They had a little bit of a taco flavor to them, so when I attempted to make patties and they fell apart I stirred them into crumbles, added some more spices and cooked them until they were crisp, and they make an AMAZING taco filling.
