Reconstitute and drain blueberries. Sift together four and baking powder, set aside. Beat together the egg, milk, salt and sugar in a bowl. Stir in flour until just moistened, add blueberries, and stir to incorporate.

Winter Storm Survivial

http://www.thereadystore.com/blog/1067/winter-storm-survival/?utm_source=rne_ep101_20091228&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=EP101&utm_content=click

This link will take you to The Ready Store website and a list of ways to make sure you will survive in a winter storm if their is an emergency. It is a great way to get some ideas of things that you may want to get to help your family get prepared in the case of an emergency. I know we live in a desert, but we have terrible snow storms and really cold winters. Make sure you will be safe and prepared in an emergency!

Powdered Milk Recipe

During the holiday season I decided to test out a few new ways to use my powdered milk. The one that I was most excited about was the sweetened condensed milk. I needed some for some cookies I was making and this recipe worked wonderful!

1/2 cup hot water
1 c. non-instant dry powdered milk (the kind from the cannery works great!)
1 c. sugar
1 T. butter

Combine all ingredients and then put them in a blender. Mix really well. Use immediately or store in refrigerator or freezer. Enjoy!

Challenge!

I am challenging everyone to take an inventory of their food storage and figure out what you need to get your years supply. If you need a food storage inventory calculator/spreadsheet, let me know and I will send one your way!

Dry Pack Cannery

Our ward has the opportunity to go to the cannery on January 9th and 16th @ 10:00 am. If you would like to go, let me know! I will be going for sure on the 9th, so if you would like me to pick you up, let me know. You can print out an order form at www.providentliving.org or you can get one in the Relief Society binder at church. We will be going again in March, so if you can't make it in January, plan to go in March.
