If you know of something going on in Clarksville or the surrounding area that relates to food and you would like to create a little more buzz about it I will help you by talking about it here. You can email me at Kmorgan34@gmail.com

All the current recipes are listed in the main body of this page and the older articles can be clicked on down the right hand column. At the end of each article or recipe is a comments section. Feel free to leave me a comment there. I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for being here and I hope you find at least one or two recipes that you love!

Foods for a Crisis

No one likes to think about or talk about a crisis but still we need to be prepared (if only a little). Many things now-a-days could disrupt the grid or the infrastructure and I read the other day that most all grocery stores have a 3 day supply of groceries in the stores at any given time. We've seen how in the aftermath of a hurricane or tornado, earthquake or other natural disasters, cities can be left in a state of such damage that life as we're used to can be disrupted for days! Remember the ice storm that we had here in the '90s? Many folks didn't have electricity for several days.

Think about stocking up on these items below so that you can take care of your family in an emergency situation.

Canned meats and vegetables from the grocery store.
Canned meats and veggies from your own farm if you have one.
Dried beans and pasta
Dried meats like beef jerky
Powdered milk
Peanut butter and crackers
Canned and dried fruits
Non Synthetic vitamin supplements
Baby formula if you have a baby
Stock up on some extra gallons of water and don't store it in the same place that you store your gas can or other petroleum products.
Extra pet food if you have a pet

Have a plan for cooking since you won't be able to use your stove or microwave. Maybe stock up on some extra propane for your grill or bags of charcoal. Have some extra lighters or dry matches on hand. Keep some extra batteries for radios and flashlights. Keep plenty of extra candles.

In a prolonged power outage, eat what's in your refrigerator first before it ruins. Then eat what you can from your freezer before it ruins. After that you can turn to your canned goods that have a long shelf life.

This article is not intended to frighten anyone. It's only intended to help you get prepared. Remember how fast the store shelves get cleaned out around here when a large snow is predicted? Especially bread and milk? That's called panic buying at the last minute. You will not want to wait until the last minute to rush to the store if something bigger than a snow fall prediction happens. So be stocking up now!
