BUILDING A 3-MONTH MEAL PLAN

We have been asked to "Build a small supply of food that is part of your normal, daily diet." I do this by choosing recipes my family likes and buying 3 to 6 times the amount of non-perishable ingredients. I have one of these recipes for you to try out! CREAMY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP (12 servings) 4 cans (10oz each) RoTel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies 4 cans (14/5 oz each) Chicken Broth 1 can (30 oz) Refried Beans 1 can (15 oz) Corn 2-3 cans (12.5 oz each) Chicken (or use frozen chicken breast and cook, if desired) optional: Fried corn tortilla strips or chips Shredded Cheese 1. Combine tomatoes and broth in large saucepan. Stir in beans and corn. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. 2. Add chicken; heat through. 3. Top with Tortilla strips and cheese. If your family will eat this twice a month; this is what you will need to buy for a 3 month supply: 24 cans RoTel Tomatoes 24 cans Chicken Broth 6 cans Refried Beans 6 cans Corn 12-18 cans Chicken Challenge: This week, pick your own recipe and buy all the non-perishable ingredients needed 3-6 times the regular amount to build your 3 month supply! If you have a good "food storage recipe" to share, leave it in the comments!
