INSTANT SURVIVAL TIP: Eat nutritiously even when the lights are out

image by Beth Rankin

While doing some research for a future blog post, I came across a document produced by the Ohio State University Extension office.  An awful lot of people have been experiencing power outages due to storms and flooding, and suddenly find themselves wondering, “What are we going to eat now that the power is out?”

This pdf document, “Eating nutritiously when the lights are out“, provides three daily menus and a list of kitchen tools to have on hand.  What I like best is that these same food ideas can be used to stock emergency kits, 72 Hour Bags, and the like.  The work of figuring out interesting meals has already been done for you.  The menu pages are definitely worth printing out and filing away in your Survival Mom binder.  Bon appetit!
