Food Supply Meals Your Children Will Actually Like

When it comes to providing your kids with the necessities of life, you want to make sure that the food

and water you give them is as safe and nourishing as you can. The same holds true during periods of

power outages or other emergencies. When local or national disaster strikes, unemployment or simply

hard times arrive, emergency storage foods should be tasty as well as nutritious. Preparing ahead won’t do any good if you can’t get your children to eat what you fix.

Typical storage foods often include an abundance of wheat, beans, rice, and powdered milk. You can

find these basic items at any food survival store. They will provide most of the vitamins and minerals

that a child needs on a daily basis if accompanied by canned or dried fruits and vegetables. They are

low in fat and high in calories and starches. The downside is that you might not know how to fix them so that your children won’t push them away. A better solution is to seek out storage foods that children will actually like to eat.

During difficult times when stress levels for both adults and children are high, comfort foods and foods your children are used to eating will be extremely important. Kid-friendly entrees such as macaroni and cheese, Beef Stroganoff, healthy soups, pancakes, and even enchiladas can help them to cope with the situation. When their normal life suddenly becomes disrupted by circumstances you cannot control, having strawberry-flavored Cream of Wheat for breakfast or real cheese in their potato soup for lunch will help them meet their nutritional needs as well as give them foods they can enjoy.

Finding these types of healthy storage meals isn’t as difficult as it sounds. Many food survival stores

such as Buy Emergency Foods provide convenient, stackable buckets filled with tasty, freeze-dried

meals your children will actually like. Many stores also offer freeze-dried foods in single and double-

serving pouches.

Comfort means different things to different people in the same way that taste does. Storing a few treats that your children are used to having will also help them to stay calm. Storing items that will make you and your children feel good can help you stand up and do whatever is needful to survive. Make sure to be wise about food storage and keep changing it out. While nutrition is important, retaining as much normalcy as you can with whatever you choose to store is just as essential to health and well-being.
