Eggs and Dairy
Have you ever made your own yogurt? It is a great way to use powdered milk in your food storage! Not only will you save money, but it is tasty and nutritious. We also include some ideas below for making your own cheese!
Baby formula: Many people have asked about infant formula in times of emergency. Breast feeding provides the absolute best nutrition for babies. But, if breast feeding is not possible, evaporated milk can be used to make a substitute infant formula. Here is the recipe:
13 oz (one can) evaporated milk
2 TB corn syrup
18 oz water
It is important to dilute the formula properly. Improper measurements can lead to problems because the kidney's of an infant cannot handle undiluted evaporated milk. This is a great recipe to have on hand in times of emergency.
Powdered milk and canned milk are great storage items because they do not require refrigeration. We offer several recipes below to help you know how to incorporate these foods into your daily meal plans.
How to Freeze Fresh Eggs
Step 1- Scramble eggs
Step 2- Pour eggs into ice cube trays
Step 3- Pop out egg cubes and place in a freezer bag and if possible eliminate air from bag.
Step 4- Eggs will store in freezer for at least 6 months
If you go past 7-8 months they will develop a fishy flavor.
To use, defrost in fridge and cook or bake as you would eggs in a shell. Warning, they will look gross but they will be as tasty and perform as well as fresh eggs.
Tip- Ice cube trays come in various sizes so test one scrambled egg in 1 ice cube section so you know how many egg cubes equal the size of egg you used.
