Food Storage Recipes

Our enrichment last night was on Food Storage. I always feel so overwhelmed and unprepared when it comes to Food Storage, but I have decided that I better start preparing. Here are two recipes that you can make with stuff from your food storage.

Moroccan Wheat Berry Salad
3 cups steamed whole wheat
1 yellow pepper, diced
1 can water chestnuts, drained and diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 tsp. Cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup dried apricots, diced
1/2 cup golden raisins

Dressing:
2 lemons, juiced (6T.)
2 oranges, juiced (2/3 cup)
3/4 tsp. Ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Ground cumin
1 T. honey

Mix ingredients together. Add salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper ( a few daxhes) to tase. Let set for a few hourse or overnight.


BAKED BEANS
5-6 cups white beans drained (canned or reconstituted)
2-14.5 oz. cans diced tomatoes
