07/09 FoodWise Storage Newsletter

Greetings! The staff at FoodWise would like to take a moment and thank you and all of our customers for your enthusiasm and excitement towards our store. We love hearing all of your success stories as you come to our classes and start cooking with your food storage. These are some of the comments we hear every week:

  • "I went home and made your [homemade hamburger buns and the TVP sloppy Joe] recipe. It was a HIT!"
  • "Thank you so much for making us aware of the benefits of opening and using our food storage. I would have never known that so much of it had gone bad if I hadn't listened to your advice to open my cans."
  • "We are saving money and actually notice that we are feeling better by using the foods that we have purchased at FoodWise."
  • "My pants are actually getting looser!!"
  • "Is it normal to have a lot of gastro-intestinal activity when eating these grains?" Answer: "Yes, for the first few weeks...until your body gets used to the increase fiber and nutrition"

We LOVE hearing your comments and we want you to share your stories. We have recently changed our blog to a forum because we want your contributions. Give us your input.
Tell us what is working and what is not. Let us know what you would like to see in the store and share YOUR recipes with us. Our "Forum" can be found at:

06/09 FoodWise Storage Newsletter

Greetings! This month our classes are focusing on grains (http://www.foodwisestorage.com/recipe-grains). Come to our classes on Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm to learn how to cook with more than just wheat. So far we have made:

6 Way Rolled Energy Bars
Barley Corn Apple Salad
Buckwheat and Cabbage Slaw
Creamed Chicken and Vegetables with Quinoa

...and more!

 


We have received some new products in:

Sweet Potato Dices. Dehydrated Sweet potatoes already diced. Easy to puree or serve warmed with butter after reconstituting. Check out the Sourdough Sweet Potato Bread

Honey Granules. These dry granules can be used as a sugar substitute, for baking or reconstitute in water to make honey!

Xagave. Pint, quart and gallon containers along with the cookbooks. Wow what a way to go sugar free!!

Coconut Milk Powder. This is a tasty alternative to artificial creamers or dairy. Great for smoothies, soups, baking, cooking and more. Coconut oil is burned quickly by the body for energy rather than stored as fat. It also helps to increase the metabolic rate. You get a great creamy taste with essential fatty acids that are good for you. Here is a great dip recipe for vegetables using coconut powder: 

1 tsp Soy Sauce
¼ cup Sweet Chili Sauce
½ cup Peanut Butter, Crunchy (or use dehydrated peanut butter powder with cooked wheat berries!)
¼ cup Coconut Milk Powder
2 medium Carrots, cut into chunky sticks
4 sticks Celery, cut diagonally into thick slices
1 Lebanese Cucumber, cut into thick sticks
½ cup Water, boiling

Place peanut butter, water, coconut milk powder, soy sauce and chili sauce in tall jug. Mix with hand held blender till smooth. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Place dip into 2 cup serving bowl on large platter. Surround with cold crisp vegetables. Makes 8 servings

Lecithin Granules. Lecithin makes your bread stay soft and helps it retain moisture. It also acts as a binder by helping your ingredients stay uniformly suspended throughout the mixture. It prolongs the freshness of your bread, extends the shelf life and makes the crust more tender. It helps make the dough more elastic which allows for better rising. My favorite plus for using lecithin is that it helps the bread release from the pans. Lecithin supplement producers claim that lecithin has a beneficial role in:

  • Cardiovascular health
  • Liver and cell function
  • Fat transport and fat metabolism
  • Reproduction and child development
  • Physical performance and muscle endurance
  • Cell communication
  • Improvement in memory, learning and reaction time
  • Relief of arthritis
  • Healthy hair and skin
  • Treatment for gallstones

Vanilla Powder: Good for putting into beverages. You can also mix into powdered or granulated sugar for a vanilla-flavored sugar to sprinkle on foods such as cinnamon/vanilla toast. Create your own hot chocolate mix with fresh cocoa, spiced mocha mix, or use it as a light glaze for fresh corn or carrots. In essence, powdered vanilla is the perfect addition to any food or beverage that you wish to enhance with the sweet, rich, yet subtle taste of pure vanilla.

Peanut Butter Powder. A revolutionary way to enjoy peanut butter. Its powdered consistency makes for easy storage and travel and its full rich taste is every bit as satisfying as any peanut butter around. Peanut Butter is a powder that, when reconstituted with water, becomes the creamy peanut butter that we know and love.

This powdered form offers several benefits to many different types of people. For campers, hikers, and those outdoorsy types, Peanut Butter Powder is easy to transport in small and large quantities, keeping it dry until it's needed. Peanut Butter Powder is a great source of fiber and protein.

NEW One Dish Meals. We also have found a new supplier for one dish meals...just add water. They are packaged in our 1 gallon and half gallon PETE jars. Currently have in stock: Chili Mix, Beef Stroganoff, Country Beef Stew, Broccoli Cheese Soup, Baked Potato Cheese Soup, Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Ala King, Creamy Chicken Noodle, and Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce. More are coming. You can take out your own portions and vacuum pack them for your own economical MRE! WE are also carrying the Mix-A-Meal Cookbook that has tons of recipes on how to create your own dehydrated mixes and meals!

SALE!   SALE!   SALE!   SALE!   SALE!  SALE!  SALE!  SALE!  SALE!  SALE!  SALE!

We have 2 Bosch Universal Mixers left from our Mother's Day/Memorial Day sale and we have decided to keep them at $399.99 until they are gone. This unit includes the blender, dough hook and wire whisks!

We also have a new lower price on our water storage barrels. The 55 gallon barrels are $48.95! We also have pumps, spigots, bung wrenches as well as additional bungs.

For those of you who want a complete year supply we have 1 Traditional year supply in cans. It was at $1350.00 now $950.00. Layaway plans are available so you can purchase one case at a time. We are also now equipped to help you plan food storage for your family as well as help you assess your inventory and we can provide recipes for items that you do have.

Don't forget to follow us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/foodwisestorage), comment on our Blog (http://www.foodwisestorage.com/page/blog) or just email us with comments, questions or suggestions.

We are doing a poll...let us know if you would be interested in bread making classes on Saturday morning around 9 AM? Visit our homepage at: http://www.foodwisestore.com/ and take our survey to let us know.
