There's a little something most of you probably don't know about me........ I LOVE FOOD STORAGE! I know, a little weird for a 25 yr. old BUT I feel like we live in a crazy world, and I want my family to be prepared as possible! Our church has been asking us for over 70 years to have a store of food in our homes, but most members of our church(85%) don't have ANY food storage!
So I wanted to share with you probably the coolest part of my food storage! Food storage has always had a stigma attached to it. If it's not wheat, beans and powdered milk, it's not food storage. WRONG!!
As you can see from my picture I have peanut M&M's, regular M&M'S, coconut, brown sugar, chocolate covered almonds, tootsie rolls, chocolate covered raisins, dove chocolates....you get the point!!
With a Vacuum sealer, you can keep these foods fresh for up to 3 years! You put the goodies in a mason jar and using a Food Saver and a Jar Sealer attachment vacuum the air out of the jars. It's that easy!
Here is a video the demonstrates how it works!
I hope this inspires you to be a little more creative with your food storage!

I am a food storage freak too. I love my vacuum sealer also. I do lots of nuts and dried fruits. They will be a good source of protein and fruit if we ever have to use them. I have done chocolate too, but it usually doesn't last long because I get into it and eat it (or I eat it before it ever gets sealed in jars)!
Have you ever done pressure canned meat? Super easy and then you can buy your meat when it's on super-sale and have it to use later. Some of mine has lasted 5+ years on the shelf.
Wow! I love our sealer too! I am not doing without chocolate in my food storage also! Good for you! Love you.
