A Week of Food Storage Eating

So we've been eating from our food storage for a week so far, and it's been easy. Actually, it's been life-as-normal, since I always keep a week's worth of our basics on hand.

We had a ton of chicken in the freezer, so I made one late last week. We ate roast chicken for dinner one night, a chicken casserole the next, and chicken and dumplings the following day. Lunches have been chicken salad sandwiches and egg salad sandwiches. Breakfast has been our usual grab-what-you-want affair... typically a mock sushi roll for me, grilled cheese sandwich for the kids, some canned fruit, or maybe some eggs and toast.

A few months ago I picked up two big blocks of wax-wrapped cheddar cheese from Sam's Club. These were for "emergency storage," but we've dipped into them. Cheese and crackers are a staple snack around here.

I have plenty of frozen veggies on hand, so I throw a bag of peas or mixed veggies into casseroles and such.

Hubby wants tacos for dinner tonight (I always have a few boxes of taco shells in the pantry).

So far I haven't noticed any difference in the way I cook or what we're eating. But we'll see if that changes as time goes on...
