Welcome to my blog spot "Eat To Live". My name is Dorie Smith and I'm here to be of service! Here you will find helpful hints, inspirational nudges and practical advice on how to use food storage to enhance your diet and benefit your family as well as your budget.
You get to take these daily steps as I take them for I am a new consultant for Shelf Reliance/Thrive foods and emergency products.
The title of my blog comes from a quote on my favorite Aunt Jan's refrigerator, left there by her husband, my Uncle Clyde. It said "WE DON'T LIVE TO EAT, WE EAT TO LIVE". Too much of my life I have chosen the former rather than the latter sentiment. 2011 and my new life as a food storage consultant have prompted me to look at food from a different perspective. In case of emergency, I want to have at least 3-6 months of stored items to provide my family with foods they will actually eat! And I want to learn how to use them often so I am used to them. We have auto insurance, life insurance, health insurance. I want my family to have food insurance too!
Using freeze dried foods added to my basic food storage, I plan to have nutritious and interesting meals that go beyond wheat, beans, sugar, milk, oil and salt!
Let's get started! I will be posting recipes that you can try, using as much food storage ingredients as I have on hand, adapted to what you may have.
