Food Storage and Changing Resolutions!

So is it too late- I mean, to change my New Year resolutions?! I'm hoping that if I change or add any before the end of January that will be okay- right? I want to change 'learn a new skill' to 'improving or mastering a skill I already have.' That's an acceptable swap I think! 
Speaking of resolutions- I just read an awesome post about one couples food storage. It was for a six month's supply of dry bulk goods for two people. Their approach was ingenuous, yet practical. I've been trying to analyze and look at how other people do their storage, and then I found this blog! It's so simple and it makes sense! I just like everything about his approach.
Don't get me wrong- all the cool food storage that other people do is great- but something about how this couple did theirs really works for me. So click here to go to the post on his "Living Prepared" blog and read how he did it. There are also some really good recipes he has developed to use his stored foods. 
Speaking of food storage...it doesn't do any good unless you learn how to use it and use it regularly. Make sure now that you can live on what you have stored. So take stock of what you do have and start making weekly menus to include it. Check out this blog, "My Year Living on Food Storage"" She also has lots of great recipes and ideas!   
(P.S. - I am not affiliated with either of the blogs mentioned above and have only reviewed their food storage and recipe posts.) 
As for my own attempts at food storage- last week I canned Chicken! I'll share how to can meats in another post- but I'm excited to say - It's not as hard as you think!
