Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps
www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com
Many people tell me the biggest thing that keeps them from building and/or
using their food storage is the time it takes to prepare it! I have been doing this for over 10 years now and I am here to tell you that in the long run it
actually saves you a lot of time! It may be a little different and a learning curve may be involved, but it’s all in what you get used to. I typically don’t
spend more than 30 minutes preparing a meal. I’m usually only in my kitchen cooking about an hour a day, usually LESS!
What is time consuming is not having everything you need on hand and
running to the store 3-5 times a week. Not knowing what you are going to
make, trying to find good recipes and make detailed lists takes all the time!
It’s different but Truly Simple: One of my reasons for creating Simple. Healthy. Tasty. was to help make it
easier to feed families healthy meals and to save time doing it! My blog contains all the recipes (and then some) that you will need to eat well off
your food storage. We use our food storage every…single…day! You can also get many of my recipes in easy to print eBooks at my shop! Notice too, that
I have a Menu Planning eBook which has all of the planning and lists done for you. You don’t even need to take the time to plan if you don’t want too.
The hardest part for you is that if you haven’t already, you will have to take the time to start building your supply of food! You will find after the first
little while your supply builds up and things can rotate and run almost like clockwork just by following the principles and steps provided in this book!
If you aren’t used to eating in a Simple, Healthy manner you will find that it may be an adjustment and seem hard at first. I thought that as well….but
after consistently making an effort and trying a few things, I found it wasn’t any harder, it’s just different. It didn’t take my family long to see it was
actually easier on us in so many ways, it is Truly Simple!
The goal is to have a supply of food that you know how to use, is affordable, practical, self-reliant and Healthy! One that is easy to use, rotate and
maintain a supply level which fits the needs of you and your family!
In our family we have tried to build and maintain a one year supply. You will see “year supply” come up a lot throughout this book. If a year supply
Intro

www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com
isn’t your goal and it’s more or less then that just adjust the numbers
accordingly and know that the principles and steps still work the same!
Simple format to save you time: Since I know time is a major issue, I have tried to write a concise book full
of helpful information that is easy to understand. I don’t want to bog you down with details! Most everything is in bullet point list format with some
links to my favorite tools that can help you learn more if you want too. When I started building our food storage, many times I got bogged down in
the sheer volume of information. It was overwhelming to say the least and caused me to put off what I wish I had just done sooner! I found it really is
just about consistently following the steps described in this book and you will have food storage before you know it.
A large part of this book is about using and rotating your food storage so
you don’t have to worry about expensive and time consuming long term
storage methods. This one thing alone saves lots of time, money, and makes it even more Simple! We have not ever had anything go bad or get
infested, it’s not there long enough.
Most importantly: I wrote this book with the assumption that you look at and spend some time
reading my blog. Lots of info especially on how to turn all your lovely food storage into tasty meals is available and posted regularly on my site
SimpleHealthyTasty.com. You may find it helpful to become a follower, a Fan or to subscribe to the Feed of my blog. I am happy to answer questions
you may have, and I love it when you comment! I learn so much cool stuff from my readers! Also I DON’T assume everyone does things just like I do!
We are all different and what works great for one person may not for another. Be sure to adjust as needed and find what works best for you and
your family! Be flexible, the main principle is having food storage that you
know how to use and promotes health and vitality in every way for you and your family! I hope this book will help you with that!

Use the list on the next page to get a basic idea of what you need for a
well rounded healthy usable food storage. Start with the Basics and
go from there!
Remember the most basic and most important of all items is WATER!
Since it isn’t practical to store a year supply…
½ gallon per person per day for 2 weeks is
recommended. Be sure to count the water in
your hot water heater as part of that supply!
We found these tanks work well for the
additional water storage we needed.
If you don’t have any food storage I
recommend you start with grains and beans
as these are affordable, full of nutrients and
filling!
Next I recommend getting sprouting seeds. Note that many of your
grains and beans will also sprout. (more about sprouting in step 4)
Buy in bulk and watch it build. Start slow with things you know you
will use and what your budget can afford.
ROTATE! (more in Step 2)
Be sure what you buy has good ingredients. (This is where the
healthy part comes in! To see what I consider healthy and not so
healthy ingredients look at my blog post: Ingredients! What to look for
when reading food labels!
Don’t worry about where you will store it! Just get it, you’ll find a
place for it! Watch for storage solutions in my newsletter & blog.
Above all don’t be afraid to cook from scratch. Go to
www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com and start trying recipes and find
favorites your family likes!

Simple Healthy Food Storage
For One Person
Basic Storage: This is not only doable but will keep you far from hungry and it can be tasty
too! Remember use what you store!
300 lbs Wheat (including Kamut and Spelt) 155 lbs Other Grains (oats, millet, brown rice, quinoa, rye, barley, etc.)
50 lbs Raw Nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, etc.) 20 lbs Raw seeds (flax, sunflower, chia, sesame, etc.)
75 lbs Beans (pinto, black, kidney, garbanzo etc.) 60 lbs Raw honey (agave, blackstrap molasses, maple syrup, Sucanat)
3 gal Oils (olive & coconut, both extra virgin cold pressed) 10 lbs Salt (Real, Himalayan or Celtic Salt)
60 lbs Full Vitamin Sprout Mix – (look in Sprouting section) 5 lbs Salad sprout mix – (recipe in Sprouting Section)
6 gal Water – This is a 2 week supply
Garden Seeds (Non-Hybrid, so you have the option to gather seeds for a
perpetual garden)
Spices, Apple Cider Vinegar, Shoyu, Nutritional Yeast, canned coconut milk, baking soda, non-aluminum baking powder, egg replacer, WATER
Expanded Storage:
Fruits and Vegetables (dried from your garden) Squash, potatoes, onions, and apples can easily be stored through the
winter in a basement, fruit room, or garage. Frozen fruits and vegetables from the garden.
Home bottled produce without sugar! (Can use honey, and other natural sweeteners to bottle with.)
NOTE: DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AT LOW TEMPERATURES 90-105 DEGREES KEEPS THE NUTRIENTS AND ENZYMES OF THE FOOD. It also
takes less space than bottled or canned foods. This list was adapted from a list by Yvonee Salcido, from the School of Natural Healing.
Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps

Yep just what it says you need to store what you USE and USE what
you store. This is the easiest way to maintain fresh ingredients. It’s
more economical because you don’t have to pay for expensive long
term storage solutions (most any rodent proof bin or bucket will work)
and you’re not wasting money buying something you may never use.
Pay attention, get an average amount of what your family consumes in
a year. For example we go through about 5 gallons of coconut oil, 100
pounds of rolled oats etc. This doesn’t have to be exact just pay
attention so you have a rough guess.
Make specific space for each item! For example we have found a year
supply of rolled oats for us fills three 5 gallon buckets and our bin in
our pantry. So in our food storage room we have a space that fits
three 5 gallon buckets labeled “Rolled Oats.” When one bucket is
emptied into the pantry bin I know it’s time to look at getting more.
We also have a year supply of space allotted for jars, cans, smaller
containers, etc. of certain items. Only those particular items can go in
that space. We can look at a glance and see how many we have used
and how many we need to get to fill the space. This is known as the
Lazy Person’s Inventory. I must be lazy! I love this method it works
GREAT!
Be sure to use the oldest items first. Newly filled buckets go behind
ones that were filled last time. Food dried, bottled, etc. this year goes
behind or under food done last year.
Don’t worry a lot about keeping a specific inventory, but as you get
closer to your year supply goals use the forms on the following pages
to help you keep track of some of the basic staple items. That way
you will know what last few items you need and how much to get to
have your years worth!
Continue forever with the Lazy Person’s inventory, continue to rotate
and fill in empty spaces! Adjust as necessary!

Step 3: Sprouting
Knowing how to sprout is super important when it comes to healthy
food storage.
Sprouting and eating certain grains, beans, nuts and seeds provide
many nutrients and enzymes that were dormant beforehand! Many of
these are super essential especially if you ever need to live entirely on
your food storage.
Because of the amazing amount of enzymes and nutrients in sprouts I
recommend you eat them daily and rotate them like the rest of your
food storage.
Read below for a very simple sprouting method that works for many
kinds of sprouts.
Full vitamin sprout mix (recipe on page 17):
Taking ¼ cup of this mix and then sprouting it
should provide nearly all needed vitamins and
minerals for one person for one day. Someone
could potentially survive on this for quite some
time. Although they would be very hungry they
could at least get nourishment until able to get
more food. If I only stored one thing it would be
this and of course water! But since I don’t like
being hungry I store much more than just this.
If you don’t care for sprouts at first….Trust me they “grow” on you,
keep trying them most people find they end up really liking them!
Sprouts are great on sandwiches, in salads or thrown in about
whatever you can think of.
Start sprouting today you won’t regret it!
See next two pages for lots of Sprouting info!

Sprouting Made Simple
Jar Method :
What you need:
Wide Mouth Canning Jars
Quarts or Pints
Wide Mouth canning ring
Sprouting Screen, mesh or
netting, or plastic canvas
Sprouting Seeds
Water
What you do:
Place seeds in jar (I like to just cover the bottom of the jar this way I
don’t get more sprouts then we can eat before they go bad but if you
eat lots and lots you can fill the jar as much a 1/3 of the way full)
Soak Seeds, Fill jar with water and let soak 6-8 hours or overnight
Drain and rinse seeds, lay or tilt jar on its side with seeds spread
throughout (if they are all in one clump air cannot circulate and they
can easily mold)
Rinse once or twice a day until sprout is about the size of the seed, or
if growing ones with leaves –until the leaf appears and splits in two
(most sprouts take 1-2 days in the jar method)
Seeds, beans, grains that sprout well with the jar method and about how
long they take to sprout:
Adzuki beans, 2-5 days
Alfalfa, 2-5 days
Barley, 2 days
Buckwheat, 2 days
Broccoli, 2-5 days
Chickpeas, 1-2 days
Clover, 4-5 Days
Fenugreek, 2-5 days
Green peas, 2-3 days
Kamut, 2-3 days
Lentils, 1-2 days
Mung beans, 2-5 days
Quinoa, 1 day
Radish, 2-4 days
Rye, 2-3 days
Spelt, 2 days
Sunflower Seeds
(hulled), 2-3 days
Triticale, 2-3 days
Wheat, 2-3 days
Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps
www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com
Full Vitamin sprout Mix: Gallon Size 2 cups Wheat or Kamut
2 cups Rye or Triticale
2¼ cups Green Lentils
3 cups Whole Green Peas
2 2/3 cups Mung Beans
2 2/3 cups Adzuki
Beans
¼ cup Fenugreek
In large bowl mix everything together. Store in a gallon size bag or bucket.
Keep cold and dry. Sprouts well using the jar method!
Full Vitamin Sprout Mix: Bulk Size 8 cups Wheat or Kamut
8 cups Rye or Triticale
9 cups Lentils
12 cups Whole Green Peas
11 cups Mung Beans
11 cups Adzuki Beans
1 cup Fenugreek
1 cup Diatomaceous Earth (opt.
good for longer term storage)
In 4-5 gallon bucket mix everything together. Store with tight
fitting lid! Keep cold and dry. Sprouts well using the jar method!
Salad Sprout Mix 7 cups Alfalfa
2 cups Red Clover
½ cup Radish seed, optional
½ cup Cabbage or
Broccoli, opt.
These seeds sprout well together and are great in a salad! A great mix to
have in food storage in addition to the full vitamin mix. Mix together or
keep separate. Also sprouts well using the jar method!
Sprouts that do NOT use the jar method to sprout. Just soak to activate the
enzymes. Full of good fats other sprouts may lack. Very Healthy!

Step 4: Gardenin
Everyone should learn and practice some basic gardening skills!
Nothing tastes better than food you grow yourself!
It takes about 5 years of working with poor soil to get good vegetable
garden soil so it’s not something you can wait until last minute to do.
Every year we add a mixture of organic compost,
vermiculite, and peat moss to our garden.
Turkey mulch is also excellent as are cover crops
in the fall. Cover crop is basically spreading
down a seed, like wheat, Rye, etc. in the fall
after harvest and then tilling it in, in the Spring
before planting
With prices going up like crazy it may soon be
cheaper to grow your own food!
Freezing and drying fresh foods can help give
you nutrients and enzymes you need during the
winter.
If you have lots of land, just a little or none you
can grow something. I have seen people with container porch gardens
that produce quite a bit. Small indoor gardens can produce a
surprising amount of herbs, greens, and of course sprouts. (And just
think how easy weeding will be!)
Try to garden as organically as possible for the most available
nutrients!
Growing Lots of Food in a Small Space is my post about our garden!
Be sure to use many non-hybrid seeds and varieties so you can
practice self-sufficiency by harvesting seeds to reuse for the next year
and the next and the next.
Look at the pages below for more info on starting and harvesting
seeds.
Step 4: Gardening
Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps
www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com
Starting and Harvesting Seeds
Starting seeds: What you need:
Peat pellets or pots – Something to grow seeds in. Almost anything
that is at least 2 inches deep and has holes in the bottom will work.
Labels – Popsicle sticks work well or whatever you can think of just be
sure you plants are well labeled.
Seed starting mix – You can buy this or mix your own starting soil.
Dirt from outside does not work well to start seeds.
Spray Bottle or Tray for watering – Seeds do best when misted or
soaked from below.
Plastic bag or other covering to keep seeds covered while germinating.
What you do:
Know about your plant. Does the seed need soaking, scarification
(scaring or scratching the seed with a knife or sandpaper) or
stratification (mimicking winter by placing in a cold dark moist place)?
Does it need light or dark to germinate? When can it be transplanted?
Place prepared seeds in presoaked pellet or pot with moist soil.
Cover (usually just twice the depth of the seed) or press seed into dirt
depending on the type of seed.
Cover in plastic bag while the seed germinates – This will help
maintain proper moisture. Be sure to check the dirt to see that it stays
moist, not too wet but moist.
Keep plants moist by either misting them or letting them soak up
water in a tray that covers about 2/3 of the pot.
Keep in the light or dark depending on plant.
When seeds germinate and plants begin to appear
remove plastic cover. Continue to keep soil warm
and moist as plant grows.
One week before transplanting, harden off plants by
placing them in a shady place outdoors, keep
watered and bring indoors at night if cold
In garden, dig a hole about twice the size of the
root ball. Set into hole so it will be covered with ¼
inch of soil, and press firmly around it
Start Mix: Combine 1/3-1/2 part peat moss with 1 part vermiculite, perlite or combination of the two
Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps
www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com
Harvesting Seeds:
What you need:
Trays, newspaper, or screens to dry seeds
on and a place chosen where you want to
dry them
Containers to put seeds in when
COMPLETELY dry
Labels – you want to be sure to keep your
seeds labeled throughout the entire drying process and then when you
store them! You don’t want to confuse your seeds, many look a lot
alike!
What you do:
Watch and observe your plants so you know how their seeds spread or
when they are ripe.
Choose plants that are healthy, have done well and tasted good to be
the plants you harvest seeds from.
Be sure the seed is ripe, for example if you are getting seed from a
tomato you would leave the tomato on the vine until after it is past the
prime eating time.
Clean seeds well
Lay seeds out on paper or screens and let dry. Small seeds take about
8-12 days to dry, larger seeds take a few days longer.
When seeds are COMPLETELY dry place in containers (not air tight, a
jar with a plastic lid would work) be sure to LABEL!
Store in a cool place, in fact the colder the better this is what keeps
the seeds dormant. Most seeds will keep for at least year in a cool
place. If kept cold like in the fridge or freezer they can keep up to 3-5
years.

To me herbs are a very important part of a Simple. Healthy. Tasty.
food storage. I feel like health care as we know it would change if
there was an Herbalist in every home!
You can read about some of our experiences in the MY STORY section
of my blog! I never cease to be amazed at what
God’s wonderful plants can do!
We have found most illnesses are easy to take
care of at home with just a little know how and
plenty of nutrition.
Obviously we should use good judgment and
common sense and get proper help in an
emergency.
Learn about the herbs and plants that grow in
your local area. And what nutritional
value/healing properties they have.
If you haven’t stored herbs yet…trying to get them all at once can cost
a pretty penny. So start with the single bulk herbs & my 4 very
favorite formulas which are; 1. Infection Formula 2. Spice for Life
(essential oil blend) 3. Anti-Plague 4. Cold Season
Read about what herbs and oils our family uses.
Be sure to grow some herbs as part of your gardening too. It’s just so
self-reliant and so affordable.
The next page has a list of the herbs I try to keep on hand and about
how much I store. I have listed the brands we trust and use and
added the links from where I get them. If you have a favorite
brand/type compare and stock up on what you know and use!
Try not to let all the info overwhelm you. Start with one book or a
class,…. then go from there!

Step 6:
Share
Even though we don’t want to think so, Funny Girl was right…People need people!
It’s always been that way, even though we all seem very independent these days….We all still need each other!
So in order to be truly self-reliant we actually need to rely on one another for help.
This is known as interdependence. You can only be truly independent and self-reliant when you are able to share and communicate well with
others. I always learn so much from others! Every person in my life teaches
me something! So my challenge to you is to never be afraid to share! Share what you
know, share what you are learning, share what you don’t know and
ask others to help you learn. When it comes to food storage, in this book I have tried to share what
I have found works for us. We have had a lot of success with it. My hope in sharing it is that it can help others who are where I was a few
years ago wondering how a year supply could ever be possible. I have spent a lot of time and worked really hard and will continue to
do so that I may share lots of the good, practical and most importantly Healthy things I am experiencing and learning!
I feel like a big part of my mission or calling in life, if you will, is to help others achieve a healthier lifestyle and pass it on to the next
generation. There seems to be so much suffering due to poor health right
now…and I think much of it could be prevented just from understanding and living healthy lifestyle principles.
The family is under fire! I think one of our biggest defenses is to
frequently sit down and SHARE a healthy meal with our family!
Step 6: Share
Simple. Healthy. Tasty. Food Storage ~ 6 Easy Steps
www.SimpleHealthyTasty.com
It’s also great to SHARE a Healthy, Tasty, meal with friends and
neighbors. Since I can’t have all my readers over for dinner my hope is that in sharing all my recipes with you… you will in turn share them
with others. I have found that healthy food storage just makes it all easier and
more doable. I hope you will help share in my vision of saving the family one Simple
Healthy Tasty meal at a time! I truly believe that if the family unit is strong then cities, nations and the world will be strong.
the plan: What I plan to do:
I will continue to share and post lots of recipes and helpful healthy
things on my blog! I will work on getting a newsletter together that will share with you
more of our life & what I’m learning, working on etc. It will be short
and infrequent, I don’t want to clutter your inbox, the goal is to inspire!
I will get more comfortable in front of a camera and work on lots of helpful quick videos to help but not take up a lot of your time.
I have been working on free informational handouts to download on my site. I often teach classes and I always share handouts. I will
format them so I can share them with you too!
What I need you to do:
Because of your support I have been able to help more than I ever imagined! I never really thought so many would benefit!
I need you to continue to share as you have been! Share recipes, share healthy food with others, add my button to your blog (the code
is in the text box by my button on the next page), talk about and link
to it on facebook or other social media, print and share handouts I’m going to share on my blog! Heck you can even teach classes too and
share the handouts there! Share this book with others by sending them to my site to download it! Just share, Share, SHARE!
The only way I can accomplish my vision and goals with Simple. Healthy. Tasty. is with your help! I need many more subscribers…
Please help me accomplish this by continuing to share!
