Make your Own Adobo Seasoning

I usually buy Goya brand Adobo seasoning, but I just felt like it was missing something so decided to make my own. After comparing a few recipes I created this mix which is a great all-purpose seasoning for any Latin American dishes, especially beef, chicken or fish. Think of it as Mexican Seasoned Salt.

Adobo Seasoning
(makes 1/2 c.)

3 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin

Combine all and mix well. Store in an airtight shaker container. If you don't have one available, Penzey's has them for a reasonable price. That's where I buy mine.

Make your Own Parmesan Cheese

It is possible to make Parmesan Cheese with 3 simple ingredients from your pantry. The following recipe comes from Peggy Layton, when she appeared on the program "Living Essentials".This recipe comes from

http://www.byub.org/livingessentials/files/139AdditionalResources.pdf:

Zesty Parmesan Cheese

1 ½ cups. boiling water

1 ½ cups powdered milk

4 ½ tablespoons lemon juice

1. Blend all ingredients.

2. Cook over low heat until the milk boils. The curds will be small.

3. Pour into cheese cloth and strain the excess water.

4. Put the curds in a bowl to break them up.

5. Spread the curds out on a cookie sheet and dry them in the oven for 2 hours at 150F. Sprinkle salt on the curds to taste.

6. Blend the dried curds in a blender until it makes a powder.

7. Put in a salt shaker and enjoy.

Here are many of the steps in photos. Please don't be intimidated by this...it is so very simple!

Put the Lemon juice in your boiling water.



Stir all ingredients together over low heat




Line a strainer with Cheese cloth to catch the very small curds.



Bring the mixture to a boil.




Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth-lined strainer.




Break up the curds and spread on a cookie sheet. (I would suggest that you spray the tray with a vegetable spray first as some of the mixture was difficult to remove from the pan after drying)

Place in the oven and dry for 120 minutes as directed. When dry, place in blender or food processor and pulverize. Place in a container or shaker when finished. See, there wasn't much of your personal time needed to do this!

Homemade Ice Cream Cake

Ingredients:
1 gal bucket of ice cream, any flavor
1 package Oreo cookies
4 Tbsp butter, melted and divided
1 bottle of Magic Shell ice cream topping
Frosting, your choice color and flavor

Directions:
1. Empty the ice cream into a big bowl and let it soften while making the rest of the recipe.
2. Wash out the ice cream bucket, and line with foil. Make sure the foil comes up the sides and past the top of the bucket so you can get the cake back out.
3. Place 1/2 of the Oreo cookies, 1 1/2 rows, in a food processor. Process until crumbs. Add 2 Tbsp of butter and 2 big squirts of Magic Shell to the crumbs. Process again to mix well.
4. Dump the cookies into the bucket on top of the foil. Press down to form a crust.
5. Spoon half of the softened ice cream into the bucket on top of the crumbs. Press down to make an even layer.
6. Process the other 1/2 of the cookies, 2 more Tbsp of butter, and 2 more squirts of Magic Shell, just like before.
7. Add on top of the ice cream in the bucket. Press to firm into a crust.
8. Top with remaining ice cream. Even it out as best as you can so it's flat.
9. Freeze for 2 - 4 hours.
10. Remove from freezer, let ice cream cake sit on counter for 5 minutes, then turn bucket over and gently pull the foil to help release the cake onto a plate. I rubbed the outside of the plastic with a hot wash cloth to help it out too.
11. Turn ice cream cake back over onto your serving plate so that the oreo crust is on the bottom. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze again until ready to frost.
12. Frost cake, return to freezer until ready to serve.
13. Remove cake about 10 minutes before ready to cut and serve.
14. Can top with more Magic Shell and Caramel sauce

Tough Hand Cleaner

1/4 cup Fels Naptha*, grated
2 Tbsp. fine sand or pumice
1 cup water
2 cup plastic container (16 oz. cottage cheese container works great)

Place soap and water in a saucepan. Place over low heat; stir until soap is melted. After mixture cools, add mason's sand or pumice. Store in a cottage cheese container or margarine tub. Dip fingers into soap mixture and lather hands. Rinse well.,

*Any grated bar of soap will work but Fels Naptha removes the stains better.

Tip: Buy 1 gallon of bubble bath and use instead of liquid hand soap. It is much cheaper and smells better than regular hand soap

How Much Will It Hold?

Here is a handy list of food storage container sizes and quantities if you are trying to determine how much of a given product will fit.


1 gallon container = 7 lbs. wheat, rice or sugar
1 gallon container = 5 lbs. flour or powdered milk
1 gallon container = 4 lbs. dry macaroni
1 gallon container = 3 lbs. potato flakes, oatmeal or instant milk
5 gallon bucket = 35 lbs. wheat, beans, rice or sugar
5 gallon bucket = 25 lbs. powdered milk or flour
5 gallon bucket = 20 lbs. dry macaroni
5 gallon bucket = 15 lbs. potato flakes, oatmeal, or instant milk
55 gallon drum = 400 lbs. wheat, beans, rice, or sugar
55 gallon drum = 275 lbs. powdered milk or flour
55 gallon drum = 225 lbs. dry macaroni
55 gallon drum = 160 lbs. potato flakes, oatmeal, or instant milk

Is Homemade Bread Cheaper - Well Yeah!!

Here is my take on a loaf of whole wheat bread... I don't know what it costs you at the day old store, but this is what a 2lb loaf made by me costs. 


1 1/2 cup warm water - free
1 tbsp vegetable oil - .04 
3 tbsp sugar - .01
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour .11
1 1/4 cups white flour .6
1/3 cup vital wheat gluten .10
1/2 tsp salt - $.01 
2 tsp dry yeast .10


total cost for 2lb fresh loaf is about $.43.... And this really surprised me too, since I had never taken the time to figure it out. It would be less for white bread, since you don't need to add the vital wheat gluten or the whole wheat flour, and I usually use less yeast. prices from 2009

Water Storage

Baby Steps:

1. Choose Container & Location for storage
2. Collect or Purchase containers
3. Fill & Date Containers

Why store water?

• Storage of water is one of the simplest but most neglected areas of emergency preparedness. Many people store dried storage foods such as powdered milk, beans, rice, etc. which required water for eating.
• One gallon of water weighs 8 lbs.
• Water is more essential than food in sustaining life.

How much water do I store?
According to the Red Cross and Civil defense, you need a minimum of 14 gallons per person for a 2 week period. That is enough for:
1 gallon per person per day, which is bare minimum survival.
3 gallons needed for enough water for personal hygiene, doing dishes.
4 gallons to have enough for more personal care, to wash clothing and minimal cleaning.
If you have pets you need to remember to include about a gallon a day per dog and a pint per day per cat.

Click here to order these water tanks online. Kind of pricey but worth it!

Shelf life of water?
Water must be stored in clean containers and out of sunlight. If stored properly water should have an indefinite shelf life. It is advised that you trade out your water every 6 to 12 months. (Suggested every Oct. Conference or when you change your clocks.) After sitting for a while water will taste flat. You will need to pour it between containers to aerate.

How can I store water?

• Gallon of filtered water
• 1 or 2 liter pop bottles
• juice bottles
• mouthwash bottles
• V-8
• punch
• Gatorade
• pedialite bottles
• Any bottles that come with food liquid in them (except oil) can be used.
• DO NOT USE Milk and oil containers!
• barrels designated for water 
• coke barrels
• food barrels, as long as the food doesn’t have fat in it
• DO NOT use metal containers!
• 5 gallon plastic water containers are available at army surplus, sporting good stores, discount stores and preparedness stores.
• Dish washing soap bottles, liquid laundry soap bottles & dish washing soap, liquid soap bottles too. After you use it all up, don’t rinse it out. Fill with water and label it soapy water. That way you will have it to use for sanitation and not have to use precious drinking water Cooking, washing dishes, cleaning, personal hygiene, etc.

Where can I store water?
Water is bulky, but in smaller containers you can tuck here and there.

• bathroom cupboards
• in the outer darkness corners of kitchen cupboards
• in the backs of closets
• corners of upper closet shelves
• book shelves
• Behind beds and under beds.
• Food Storage Room
• You can tie a piece of twine or rope around the neck of 2 liter containers, mount a 2×4 along storage walls and hook the liter bottles over nails on those boards. These can be run high next to the ceiling to use otherwise wasted space in storage areas.

Warning: Be sure and keep water out of sunlight, heat and off of concrete floors.

 

How do I treat water? 
It is not necessary to treat water from a public water supply if it is already chlorinated.
Clorox- Amounts according to civil defense guidelines. Double if water is cloudy. After adding proper dosage, stir and allow to stand about 30 minutes.
Quart - 2 drops
½ Gallon - 4 drops
1 Gallon - 16 drops
5 Gallons - 1 tsp
Boiling

 

 Most water can be purified for drinking purposes by boiling it for 5 to 10 minutes.
Purification Tablets

 

Tablets that release iodine may be used safely to purify drinking water.
Essentials of a water treatment kit

 

1 bottle Clorox (Clorox will loose it’s “umph” after about 18 months, so this needs to be rotated.)
1 tsp measure
1 medicine dropper
1 funnel
Coffee filters (these would be for filtering water with debris)

It's a Bucket of Charcoal Briquettes!

You Will Need:

1 or 2 5-Gallon Buckets with Lids

1 to 2 Bags of Charcoal Briquettes

and

I haven't been able to confirm an expiration

date anywhere for the briquettes.

I would recommend using them within 5 years,

but if you have different information than

I was able to find, please let me know!

Did You Know . . .

That 1 Bag of Charcoal Briquettes will make it possible for

 you to cook 1 Meal a Day for a Whole Month?!?

It's a great storage item to have on hand.

Emergency Light Source

A Jar of Candles with a TWIST!

Today's project will cost about $1.50 to make, but will be a great help in a power outage.

You will need:

1 Quart Canning Jar (Regular or Wide Mouth)

Amazing Goop Craft Contact Adhesive and Sealant

(We used the Clear Transparent Goop)

and

1/2" Plumbers Cap

That's all you need to create this project!

Instructions:

Take off the ring and jar lid.

Flip jar lid so that the seal is facing away from the jar.

Replace the lid with the seal side up.

Apply a pea-sized amount of the glue to the center of the lid, and the bottom end of the plumbers cap.

Let each piece sit for 40 seconds.

Put the glue-side of the cap to the glue-side of the jar lid.

Make sure it's centered on the lid.

Allow to dry over-night with the cap on the outside of the jar.

Fill the jar with 1/2" candles and a small box of matches.

 Reverse lid so that the plumbers cap is now inside the jar.

Tighten the ring.

You now have a waterproof emergency light source!

Wait 24 hours before you use the jar.

Note:

If you are unable to find 1/2" candles, NO PROBLEM!

They have lots of different sized plumbers caps.  Just take a candle with you to the hardware store to make sure you get the right fit.  Make sure you can fit the cap on the lid and that the candle(s) and matches will fit in the jar.  

I decorated my jar to show it as a GIFT IDEA.

You can make a few neighbor gifts for Christmas right now, and if there's an emergency in the meantime,

No worries . . . You're good to go!

Homemade Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products

I was talking to a friend the other day and she was asking me about how I make my household cleaners so I decided to help spread the word.  I purchased all of the bottles at a dollar store and made the labels myself. They honestly work just as good as store bought cleaners if not better. And, there is the added benefit of no toxic chemicals, which is why I make them. Oh, and they are much cheaper than store bought. I spent $30 for all of the materials and ingredients and I have enough to make cleaners for a year or longer! Here are the recipes that I use.

Glass Cleaner
1 cup distilled white vinegar
2 cups water
1/2 tsp dish soap
10-15 drops essential oil
Spray Bottle

All Purpose Cleaner
1/2 tsp washing soda
1/2 tsp liquid Castille soap
2 cups hot water
10-15 drops essential oil
Spray Bottle

Disinfectant
Hydrogen Peroxide
10-15 drops essential oil
Spray Bottle

Hardwood Floor Cleaner
4-5 Tbsp Murphy's Oil Soap
