Posted by Crystal on June 21, 2009 View Comments

Okay, you’ve heard me talk about how much I LOVE the cookbook series 101 Things (to do with almost anything!) but especially the 101 Things to do with a Cake Mix.  Stephanie Ashcroft does an awesome job with easy and delicious recipes (which you all know are my favorite!)  Anyway, I’ll get to the good stuff.  She is doing a giveaway right now on her blog (Savvy Savings) for a FREE copy of 101 Things To Do With A Cake Mix.  Make sure you go and enter the giveaway and try this very delicious recipe she sent me to share with you!  Click HERE to enter Stephanie’s giveaway and click HERE to check out her AMAZING series of cookbooks.

Lemon Squares from 101 Things To Do With A Cake Mix

1 lemon cake mix
2 eggs (2 T. dry egg powder + 1/4 C. water)
1/3 cup vegetable, canola, or olive oil (anyone brave enough to try beans instead of the oil ? ;)
Powdered Sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix together cake mix, eggs, and oil. Mixture will be stiff. Spread mixture evenly into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Bake 13-15 minutes until slightly golden on top. Cool, then sprinkle powdered sugar over the squares.

p.s. I added in the information about using food storage…see…it is easy for recipes to be FOOD STORAGE RECIPES!

Also, to those of you in the San Diego, CA area-MARK YOUR CALENDARS-I’ll be doing an Autograph Party for my book “I Can’t Believe It’s Food Storage” at the La Jolla Deseret Book filled with fun, samples, and answers to your questions on July 10 from 11:30-1:00 p.m.

Great Review!

Posted by Crystal on May 22, 2009 View Comments

I love hearing from all of you about my book.  The positive feedback has been wonderful…and makes all of those very, very long nights writing it all worth it!  Here is one review I couldn’t pass up from Jim at EverythingPrepared.com!

Here is what Jim had to say…

I Can’t Believe It’s Food Storage is a great book I highly recommend. How would you like to have your home food storage and actually be able to eat it too?

The “Rock Star of Food Storage” finally reveals the methods she uses to simply and deliciously use her food storage in her everyday meals. This book is a must have for for anyone with food storage. You will not have to wonder any longer about how to use your home food storage as Crystal provides simple, step-by-step examples that will help you use it instead of lose it. I wish I had this book years ago.

I have to admit, when Crystal contacted  me about reviewing I Can’t Believe It’s Food Storage, I was a bit skeptical, but excited too. I had learned about the book through Twitter (eatfoodstorage) and the Food Storage Network. They have some great information on their sites so I was interested in seeing what Crystal had to say in her book. I had initially contacted her about reviewing it, but hadn’t heard anything.

When Crystal did contact me, I looked forward to receiving the book. After all, I enjoy reading about food storage and emergency preparedness and have a small library of books on the subjects.

There are 7 great things I noticed about this book:

  1. It is easy to read and follow.
  2.  It shows you how to decide if you are a menu person or a themed person.
  3. It teaches you “tricky” ways to sneak food storage into your meals so your family will be wanting second and third helpings (We used this in our family with great results even before I read Crystal’s book).
  4. It is well researched with addresses (linking info) to key resources you can use right now (this save you a lot of time).
  5. Key questions about food storage are answered with tips and links to helpful videos.
  6. It is written for LDS readers with quotes and thoughts from LDS leaders so the LDS population won’t have to search for them.
  7. Best of all…there are over 100 tried and “kitchen-tested” recipes in I Can’t Believe It’s Food Storage. 
    Side Bar: Thank you Matt (Crystal’s Husband) and Kate (her daughter) for being the taste testers.

Bonus: You’ll love the conversion charts. It makes it easy to convert measurements, and it takes away the guesswork and time to do math calculations.

There was only one thing wrong with the book. It didn’t include our Home Food Storage Supplies website as a place to purchase products online (just a little humor). Maybe I can talk her into adding it to her next edition of I Can’t Believe It’s Food Storage.

All kidding aside. This is an outstanding book I highly recommend.

I believe everyone should have this book.
