"Church members can begin their home storage by storing the basic foods that would be required to keep them alive if they did not have anything else to eat." - The First Presidency

On Being Prepared
"Provident living-enjoying the present while providing for the future-is the opposite of crisis management. The goal is for each person and family to build a foundation of preparedness in the following six areas: literacy and education, career development, financial and resource management, home production and storage, social-emotional and spiritual strength, and physical health." - Gospel topics: welfare, self-reliance

The goal of Literacy and education should be a life long goal. We should attempt to learn something new every day, even if it is just a fact from the news report.

The goal of Career development should, also, be a ongoing thing. Read journals and magazines that are aimed at your profession; take a night course or a course on the internet.

The goal of financial and resource management may be difficult to start with, but as you pay off outstanding debts you will have more money to pay off the next bill. Soon you will have the bills caught up and then you will have extra to put in a saving account.

The goal of home production and storage is nothing more than growing a garden (if you have room), canning, freezing or dehydrating food items. If you don't have a garden, then watch the season peak sales. You may purchase storage items from the Bishops Store house.

The goal of social-emotional and spiritual strength is easily met by attending your meetings; studying your scriptures; reading the Ensign and other Church publications; Praying often - alone and with your family.

The goal of physical health can be tackled by getting up and walking more often; Go foa long walks; run in place; take the stairs instead of the elevator; park at the far end of the parking lot.

Okay, that is the basics. What I will concentrate on now will be the food end. The basics are grains, (wheat, rice, corn, rolled oats, spaghetti); Legumes (dry beans, peas, lentils); Powdered Milk; Honey or sugar; Cooking oil; Salt; 2 weeks supply of water.

This issue will be on Wheat recipes I have located.

How To Pre-Soak Wheat Berries: Rinse wheat berries and place in medium bowl. Add enough water to cover by a few inches. Let stand at room temperature for 8 to 10 hours. Drain, then use as directed in recipe.

2 carrots -- finely diced 1 stalk celery -- finely diced
1 cup wheat berries 1 cup brown rice or white rice
1/2 cup wild rice or white rice 4 1/2 cups vegetable broth or water
1/2 tablespoon salt
Heat oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onions, carrots, and celery, and cook until softened but not browned. Add wheat berries, brown rice, wild rice, vegetable broth, and salt. Stir to combine. Cover and cook for 40 minutes over medium to low heat.

Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in skillet. Add shrimp; cook 2 or 3 minutes or just until shrimp begin to curl and turn pink (if you are using canned shrimp you should skip the last part about cooking in oil). Add coconut milk and lime juice; stir. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Spoon over wheat berry mixture; sprinkle with coconut.

Wheat Berry Breakfast
 This is just a generalized recipe, but with a bit of trial I am sure you will work out how you like it.

Wheat Berries Maple or Table Syrup Salt to taste

Wash wheat berries, cover with 1.5 times water. Soak for 24 hours. Drain, place in pan with 1.5 times water. Bring to boil and simmer for approximately 1 hour until berries are "toothsome." Serve warm with maple or table syrup and salt to taste.
