Shelf-stable meals

When I sat down to make my shelf-stable menu, it was under the assumption that if we are using our food storage because of our financial situation, we can supplement with fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden or grocery store, and if we are using it because of a disaster, all that matters is that it will keep us alive.

Thus, these meals are very blah and unimaginative. I only planned seven, so we will be eating the same thing every week, which I know will get old.

If you have shelf-stable meals please leave a comment with the recipe!! I would love some more ideas!

Breakfast foods

Oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins 2x

Dry cereal with (powdered) milk 3x

Muffins and applesauce

Pancakes with (powdered) scrambled eggs

Lunch foods

Macaroni and cheese 2x

Tuna and canned fruit

Crackers, beef jerky, and nuts and dried fruit

Peanut butter and honey sandwiches (homemade bread if necessary) x3

Dinner foods

Spaghetti and vegetables (frozen if possible, canned if last resort)

Chili and Bisquick biscuits

Chicken, tomatoes, and rice (using canned chicken and tomatoes)

Chicken and biscuits (using canned chicken, Bisquick, canned vegetables, and cream of chicken soup)

Canned stew and Bisquick biscuits

Creamy chicken and rice (using canned chicken, cream of chicken soup, and rice)

Ok, I thought I had seven meals, but I guess I only have six for dinner. So the seventh night would have to be a repeat or pancakes and scrambled eggs.

Like I said, these meals will be supplemented with things from the grocery store or garden. I also plan on stocking up on cake mixes, cookie mixes, and baking ingredients. Even if we have to eat the same six meals over and over for a full year, I want my kids to have a treat once in awhile.
