Be Prepared!

Recently my ward put 72-hour kit food together for enrichment night. We fit basic food for 3 days into ONE gallon ziploc bags. Here's the menu:

Day One
Breakfast - Nutragrain Bar, Hot Chocolate
Lunch - Beef Jerky, Train Mix, Fruit Cup
Dinner - Cup-a-Soup, Crackers & Cheese, Fruit Leather
Snack - Hard Candy, Fruit Snacks

Day Two
Breakfast - Oatmeal, Hot Chocolate
Lunch - Beef Jerky, Crackers & Cheese, Applesauce
Dinner - Ravioli, Fruit Cup
Snack - Hard Candy, Raisins

Day Three
Breakfast - Nutragrain Bar, Hot Chocolate
Lunch - Beef Jerky, Granola Bar, Fruit Snack
Dinner - Cup-a-Soup, Crackers & Cheese, Fruit Snack
Snack - Hard Candy, Raisins

Seems like a lot of cheese crackers now, hmm. You certainly wouldn't gain weight on this menu, but it fits nicely in a backpack and would keep you alive for a few days if needed.

PS - Utah experienced our first big snowstorm this weekend - wahoo!! I love the snow, but not so much the ice - I fell on some slick asphalt in my heels last night & skinned my knee, ouch!
I'm guessing that the power outage yesterday (which happened just as I was needing electricity to get ready for the ballet gala, haha) was somehow related to the storm, but I'm not certain. Things like that are always good little reminders to gather our emergency prepardness items!
