Here’s a look at a few food items I am storing in my pantry in case of an emergency. Aunt Barb’s Mostaccioli: https://youtu.be/XeHkQ3jjiDo Check out our …
One of these meals would have been handy last week when we came home from vacation and hadn't made it to the store, and since I stored the ingredients in individual bags, I could also drop them off at a neighbor's or friend's home if they needed something like this!
This is a wonderful idea👍🏻❤️
Awesome job! More please
Great ideas! One meal we enjoy is 1lb browned ground beef, 3 cans campbells veggie soup along with the water, beef bullion, and a drained can of diced potatoes. Easy and tasty. My toddler son loves it too.
We camp at a campground that has year round residents that live in their campers because of cost of housing in our area. We know some struggle to get food so we are going to put together Christmas Boxes for them and these will be perfect to do!!
Love using the Knorr Pasta Sides to make one-pot meals—add veggies and TVP or Soy Curls near the end of boiling the pasta, and it’s good to go!
I would like to see college meals from dollar tree.
These are great ideas and wouldn't hurt for anyone to have on hand for quick dinners. All areas are suffering from disasters here it is loss of power during peak uses, drought and fires.
Would love to see more shelf stable recipes from Aldi and Dollar Tree.
Thanks for all your work.
You're simply brilliant, love this idea.💪
This video was brilliant. Year ago I worked with the Home Delivered Meals program for seniors in the area. Self stable meals were delivered at the beginning of the winter season (in Upstate NY). Emergencies can come out of nowhere and it is good to plan ahead and have plenty of food and water ready along with other emergency supplies. Great job!
You could try Keystone All Natural Ground Beef, or beef.
It's so important for us all to think about the "what if" scenarios. What if the primary chef is out of commission for a week? What if the car breaks down and we can't get to the store? What if we lose a paycheck and can't buy groceries? What if civil unrest prevents an easy run-to-the-store option? What if. the supply chain is compromised by a pandemic (again)? My daughter was in college when the cities were disrupted last summer, and I made sure she had a few meals worth of shelf stable ingredients in a bin just like the one you have. ETA – I have my hubby and son take some of these meals camping to practice/sample them!
Love this! Please do more!!!
What an awesome video idea! New subscriber here 👋
I have. Really good potato soup recipe to add, I use home canned potatoes in quarts 3 of them, but you could use canned potatoes. Put into a pot. With all the potato water, add one can cream of chicken soup, one jar of cheese sauce( Aldi's) and a cup of milk. ( Shelf stable or evaporated. Add seasonings, onion powder, garlic powder, dried chives, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and simmer on low. This cheesy potato soup is delicious!!
I’m sure if you wanted mean you with your aunts meal you could add can chicken or something like that
Thank you for these great ideas!!!❤️✝️🌍
We keep our parmesan cheese (shake-y cheese!) in the cabinet after we open it (not the frig) We haven't had a problem yet 😉
Would live a video with Dollar Tree
Love this video, well needed video
That great value chili is really good it tastes like hormel chili to me I keep 12 cans in my pantry stock. Another thing I stocked was 20 pounds of quaker oats so it has been stored for a year but I just started today I am having oatmeal everyday with raisins and walnuts and a little bit of sweetener it actually is pretty good I do like those little packets but they are not as filling. I also keep canned chicken, spam beef, pork, vegetables, pasta sauce, rice packets, dried potato flakes, potato side dishes, Mac and cheese, soups, Ramen, 40 pounds of rice and 20 pounds of beans so we are now eating through the things that will go bad and replenish the items that we clear out. I learned a big lesson this last year which is to always be prepared. And I also have a camp stove with fuel because we had that same snow storm in Tennessee and the city shut down for a week I was very thankful when we could finally get out to the grocery store but it felt good to know that we could have held out for a while if we needed too.
This is a great video! Just wanted to let you know, you can buy ‘canned grounded beef!’ I’ve used it before and it’s not bad for using in recipe this!
Yes a video with ingredients from Aldi's would be great
Loved this !!
I tried the soup and ramen and its delicious! This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time 😊
Please add more ideas
Didn’t know you were here in Oklahoma! I just subscribed 😁 Yes, that February 2021 weather was completely rude!
Genius Mindy! Hats off to you for doing a video like this! As we never know when these kind of meals may come in handy! For example: 1 year ago yesterday, a Derecho came through & smashed us! We lost power for 2 days. North of us lost power for 2+ wks. It as a mess! Trees down, electric poles snapped in half, etc! The bulk of my stock up is in my huge chest freezer & I wasn’t wanting to open it due to thawing! I do have a substantial pantry , but these are some awesome tips for feeding a family that is hungry. Anyone who would judge about not being healthy food has never been in a situation where you CAN NOT worry about healthy when you’ve got hungry people! Yes, more videos like this would & could be very beneficial to families! I would personally like to see more! Thanks Mindy!😊💜
Great video; awesome ideas!
Love the ideas Mindy. After our snow apocalypse I bought a small camp stove. Never again will I be without hot coffee and food! 😃
Love this! ❤
Yes please do Dollar Tree ideas!! In the unstable world we are living in now I am trying to prepare so this is excellent ideas!
Yes you could do all the stores🥰🙏🏼
Great series idea
I would love to see some meal ideas from aldis. Great recipes.
I'd love an Aldi version of this! Such a great idea.
I'm interested in a series please
Wow! Just learned that grated parmesan has to go in the fridge after opening. What lol
Fabulous video. I am really enjoying the comments, so many great ideas. I agree with others that this type of video would make a very informative series!
Hi Mindy! Great ideas! THANK YOU! Those Knorr pasta sides I always put just water in no milk or butter they are seasoned very well even the butter noodles need no butter. I would love to see another video like this with dollar tree ect… I live in the Northeast and I do not like winter at all. Right now it's in the 90s with heat index at 100. We have a gas stove too so we can use in power outage. Also shells and cheese because all you n e ed is water for the p seat and open the cheese sauce pouch.Sorry so long! Thank you!
