For all of you going to parties tomorrow (or hosting one) I’ve made a video to show you how easy it is to make your own cheese ball (and inexpensive…they sell for $5! at least at the stores) and of course I’ve incorporated some food storage. You can also use this same trick to make your own “Garden Variety” cream cheese for bagels and spreads.

Now to the Ultimate Visiting Teacher gift! I was sent this idea by Jenn (and what a great idea it is!).
*I forgot to mention the splash of vanilla that you put in at the end*
Here is the mug wrapped for drop off.
Here is the mug for immediate drop off, not wrapped. See how it looks like hot chocolate?! I love it!
Here is the recipe:
Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
1 coffee mug
4 T. flour
4 T. Sugar
2 T. baking cocoa
1 egg (1 T. dry egg powder and 2 T. of water)
3 T. milk (1/2 T. Dry Powdered Milk + 3 T. Water)
3 T. oil (or applesauce)
3 T. chocolate chips
small splash of vanilla
Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well. Add the eff and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips and vanilla. Mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug but don’t be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT!
Love Soup & Breadsticks
Now you can all thank Teresa for the last Neighborhood Gift Idea. She sent this in for a Fanatic Friday and even included the label for you! (click HERE to download it) She told me…
I love this soup recipe! In fact, my oldest son (age 16) was disappointed he had to miss this meal because of an over-night school activity! I’m giving the bean mixture with seasonings to the ladies I visit teach and to the families my husband home teaches. It’s inexpensive, tastes great, and encourages others to use their food storage in a tasty, nutritious way! I’ve included the publisher file I used to make post-card size labels to attach to gift bags. Feel free to save as a PDF file and share with your readers.
Love Soup (because it makes enough to share with friends and neighbors!)
Bean Mixture: Mix the following ingredients together. Divide into 1-cup portions. (I got 11 portions out of this.)
1 pkg. (14 oz.) green split peas
1 pkg. (14 oz.) pearled barley (I had a hard time finding barley this year; I finally found it at Albertson’s; it should be in the same section as the lentils, peas, and beans)
1 pkgs. (14 oz.) lentils
2 cups brown rice
Seasoning Mixture (for each cup of beans): Place the following ingredients in a re-sealable snack-size baggie.
½ package Onion Soup Mix, which is about 2 ½ T. (I used the generic that you can get at Wal-Mart or Macey’s for 3/$1 or 4/$1 if on sale)
3 beef bouillon cubes
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
½ tsp. garlic powder
¾ tsp. chili powder
Packaging Options: Layer the following in a pint-size bottle or in a cellophane gift bag (less expensive option):
1. Bean Mixture
2. Baggie of Seasonings
3. Baggie of ¼ cup alphabet or small shell pasta (or leave this out since it is an optional ingredient and allow recipient to add own pasta)

This book is a Christmas favorite at our house. It tells the story of newspaper reporter Hope Jensen uncovers the remarkable secret behind the “Christmas Jars,” glass jars filled with coins and bills anonymously left for people in need. But along the way, Hope discovers much more than the origin of the jars. When some unexpected news sets off a chain reaction of kindness, Hope’s greatest Christmas Eve wish comes true. The book has a wonderful message and inspires you to fill your own jar with left over money to give to some one in need next Christmas.
Giving to others in need is something I feel strongly about and I know that when you have food storage you put yourself in a better position to help anyone in need at any time and to be a useful instrument in the hands of the Lord to help his children here on Earth. Food storage is such a wonderful blessing because it allows you to eat cheaper (saving money for your own Christmas jar) and allows you to have food on hand to make a meal for a friend in need or to donate more generously to local food banks. Where much is given; much is required and we all have been so blessed…no matter what our circumstances are. This Christmas season, let’s not only help our own families by obtaining and using food storage, but let’s also help someone else in need. To enter this giveaway, simply E-mail me at everydayfoodstorage@gmail.com with an act of service you’ve done this month. You all are so great! Have a very MERRY Christmas!
