Winners of the giveaway :)




Thanks so much for the feedback ......I heard from 11 different people who live in Middleton.

And the Winners are :

Ashley Green who wrote:
I would really love a class on freezer meals. I would love a class where we put together 72 hour kits, everyone could be assigned to bring one item? For the blog perhaps you could have a little permanent section at the top or to the side that would be the Assignment of the Week or something like that where you could put in something small we can do this week to help us get more prepared. I also need help with menu planning with our food storage...... Ashley is the winner of the Families on the Go freezer Meal Cook Book :)

And Debbie Ashby who emailed :

I thought of something that might help people and maybe you are already doing it or are going to. If people have extra produce from their garden list who and then others can contact them.. So I have extra eggs. Our chickens are laying between 3 to five a day and Larry and I just don't eat that many. If you know someone that would like some eggs let them know. Also when I was doing what you were several people wanted information of the best kind of grinders for wheat, beans, corn etc.
Some won't grind beans and corn well. I think the cannery had some kind for awhile. You might check into that and see it you made an order you could get them at a good price. I have some good info on grinding beans and using for soups, refried beans and other things. Thanks for all you are doing.
   Debbie is the winner of Dinner and dessert :)

 food storage basics and menu planning (to help you store what you will actually eat) including food allergies

living frugally and planning ahead through freezer cooking (helps avoid those last minute Mcdonalds adventures)
