- Stock, beef or chicken stock for soups, stews, sauces and to drink as a healing gelatin and mineral rich tea.
- Butter, unsalted, preferrably from grassfed cows if you can afford it. Plain butter is better than no butter. Ani will eat it by the stick if I let her….a spoonful or two is a better size. Butter is full of vitimin A, D, and E and short and medium chain fatty acids! See: Why Butter is Better
- Eggs, what could I possibly do if I had no eggs when my husband is practically 75% eggs. He would be completely satisfied with eggs everyday. They are considered by many to be one of the best protein sources and brain foods. And the myth of cholesterol from eggs as being harmful, is now being found as a lie! See: Cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease.
- Fermented Condiments! Instant enzymes and probiotics stored in a jar to add to your meals. Homemade Mayo, Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Fermented Garlic or Ginger, Mmmm!
- Cultured Raw Dairy Products, Homemade yogurt, cream cheese, Kefir!!!
- Your favorite veggies, our family favorites are: mushrooms for omelets and on burgurs, carrots for soups, stews and snacking, cucumbers for snacking and homemade Pico, and whatever is in season at the time.
- A low-carb snack easy to grab, I try to always have boiled or deviled eggs available for quick grabbbing if I need something between meals. Usually I grab my prepared Everyday Porridge to heat fast but if I need a lower-carb option, eggs fill the need. Besides my hubby can’t stand to even look at my porridge, it makes him gag, so he begs for deviled eggs instead.
Freezer:
- Beef, Lamb or Chicken Liver, inexpensive yet very nutrient dense. High is B-12 and B-2, Vit. A, folate and so much more. Essential for children and expecting/nursing mothers. See: Calf’s Liver
- Frozen Veggies, either from your garden or from the store, add to soups, stir fry, chili etc.
- As much frozen meat (beef, chicken, fish) you can afford to pack into every cranny. If you can find a large freezer (check Craigslist and local paper) fill it up. You never know when you might need easily accessible meat in an emergency. Grass Fed meat is expensive, I know, so become friends with a hunter, barter, learn to fish, stretch you meat, raise your own small game like sheep.
