Eating Your Preps What To Do With Rice

Join me today as I talk about Eating your preps, what to do with rice. Rice might be the most common food item that many people prep—followed by beans and wheat. But what do you do with all that rice stored? Do you know how to make it taste good?

Today I talk about what I eat for lunch. I eat rice for lunch every day and have for the past year. I usually eat the same flavor combination for a few months at a time. And I haven’t gotten bored with this in all that time. The reason I haven’t gotten bored is great flavors. Tune in today to learn about eating your preps.

30 Day Beef Butter Bacon And Eggs Challenge Results | episode 236

Today I’m discussing my 30 Day Beef Butter Bacon And Eggs Challenge Results. In August, I took on the challenge. For thirty days I only ate beef, butter, bacon, and eggs.

I wanted to do the this challenge to try to clear up some skin issues I’ve been having for a year now. My hands have been cracking a bleeding on and off. I have good weeks and bad weeks. I have been trying to figure out what’s been causing this for most of that time. At first, I just thought it was wintery dry skin and got some lotion. After I went through a whole container of lotion with no change I realized it was something more.

The BBB&E challenge is the ultimate in elimination diets. If something in my diet was causing the flare-ups then the diet should clear it up. There’s a good chance that this is eczema and the carnivore diet is supposed to be damaging for curing it.

Tune in today to find out what my results were,

Tennessee Is Great For Preppers | 235

Today I’m here to talk about why Tennessee is great for preppers. I mean I’m fairly biased about it but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong. Tennessee has a lot going on for it. With today’s podcast, I hope to convince you of that.

My main points today are laws, community, and climate. One of the reasons why Tennessee is great for preppers is because of our laws. We are a very pro-second amendment state. Tennessee is a constitutional carry state. Meaning you don’t need to get a concealed carry permit. On top of that, many other laws benefit gun owners.

The cottage food laws are also lax here making it easy to sell your homemade goods.

Tennessee has a great prepper community. I talk about several of the people in the community today, including John Willis and Nicole Sauce. Those are just some of the influencer-type ones. Every town is full of like-minded individuals. Facebook can help you find your tribe.

Lastly, Tennessee has USDA Zones that include 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b and 8a. This makes for a wide range of growing options.

Ways To Survive This Inflation | episode 234

Today I’m talking about ways to survive this inflation. Times are hard right now and they are going to get harder before they get better. But you don’t have to suffer as badly as everyone else. There are some things you can do.

Firstly you have to start spending less. Eliminate spending money when you can. Get what you can for cheaper and think harder about spending money. The best way to do this is to have a budget. If you don’t have a budget you have no idea where your money is going and for what.

Once you know what you are spending and are spending less you need to start saving some of that money. I don’t want to hear that saving money doesn’t make sense during inflation. That’s an excuse to waste all your money.

Lastly, you need to find ways to make more money. Work overtime, work a second job, or get a side hustle. And now is the best time ever to get a side hustle. With things like DoorDash and Uber, you can start making money right away.

Foraging For Fun And Survival | episode 233

Today I talk all about foraging for fun and survival. What is foraging you might be asking. Foraging is going and finding wild edible and medicinal plants. All around us in nature, plants are growing that are safe to eat and delicious.

With everything getting so much more expensive getting any portion of your food for free helps a lot. All It takes to start foraging is some knowledge and a way to gather it.

In the audio, I talk about gathering purslane at a walking trail with my daughter. I just grabbed some empty grocery store bags from my car and picked them.

I used the Plantsnap app to confirm identification. The app is great but I always like to get a secondary confirmation. With Purslane it was pretty easy with no real lookalikes. I consulted a foraging book when I got home to super make sure it was purslane. It turned out to be delicious and my family loved it.

As a secondary benefit, my daughter learned her first wild edible. Now she can identify purslane and asks to pick it.
