Okay, so I have been writing all these posts about getting started storing bulk foods, but I thought it might be nice to see where you want to be headed . . .
I have had the question asked, "What do you have stored in buckets in your kitchen?" I am blessed with a fairly large kitchen and a small pantry. I have a six foot table in my kitchen under which I store approximately 12 buckets. Those buckets contain evaporated cane juice, sucanat, unbleached flour, popcorn, grits, elbow macaroni, veggie rotini, hard red wheat berries, spelt berries, powdered milk, brown rice, whole 7 grain mix, soft white wheat berries, and chocolate chips. In the pantry I have hard white wheat berries, black beans, millet, and oh - I found an empty!
So what does a typical day look like at my house? Really . . . is there such a thing as typical? ;D Well, let's see . . . this morning I made grits with eggs for breakfast. That is my hubby's "usual!" Then I made bread this morning, getting into the spelt, flour, and sucanat. I do that at least twice a week. For lunch we had chili and I made elbow macaroni to go with that. This afternoon I found some overripe bananas in my fruit basket - which hardly ever happens at my house - so I made banana muffins. With that recipe I ground my own soft white wheat berries and also got into the sucanat and flour buckets. Plus, I had mixed a batch of powdered milk this morning and used it in the bread and muffins.
That, I suppose, is a typical day for me in and out of the buckets, grinding my own wheat, using the bulk foods I store and saving money. Hope this helps!!
