Easy Tuna Salad and Pantry Meal with food storage

This was a favorite of my kids!  They liked to fix it, too.

Easy Tuna Salad  (Pantry Meal with food storage)

Serves 8

1 lb. Pasta of your Choice

1 to 2 cups Green Peas depending on your taste    (1st preference frozen peas cooked in with the        pasta, then canned, then dried, then freeze dried  because of the cost.                                                

2 Cans Tuna

Salad Dressing  about 2 c.  

Onion,1/2 medium chopped

Cherry tomatoes, 1 c. optional

Paprika, sprinkle on top.

Boil 8 to 10 minutes, if you add the frozen peas it takes a little longer because it drops the temperature of the water a bit.  Salt the water, if you like it that way.  While the pasta cooks, drain the tuna, chop the onions and add the salad dressing.  Stir and add cherry tomatoes, if using.

When pasta is finished, drain well and  add to the tuna mixture.  Add more salad dressing as needed or desired.  Top with paprika.

Serve immediately or chilled.  We like it even better the second day!

To use as a pantry meal with food storage:

Canned green peas or rehydrate dried green peas, and onions.

~~~

I package this as one meal and now that we are down to two, I can use half and still leave half in the box for the next time by refrigerating the salad dressing.

*Underlined items will be group purchases!

Weekly Notes of Clarification

*Wk. 1: Containers (backpack, duffel bag, garbage can       with lid even a wagon).

*Wk. 2:  Medical Have a list of medications.  Also

include items such as glasses, contacts, hearing aids (with extra batteries), syringes, canes etc.

*Wk. 3 Flashlights Place an emergency flashlight in each

            of your children’s rooms and let them know where   it is.  Get them a cheap one to play with!

*Wk. 4 Water (The Red Cross recommends 1 gallon per

person per day). The water would take up a lot of     room in your pack, so you could keep some water       bottles in your pack (maybe about a gallons worth)   and keep the rest in containers that can be carried     in your arms. Decide what will be best for your       family. Sometimes clean water is the most rare          commodity in emergencies and not only will it be      used for drinking, but also for cleaning. The Red      Cross also recommends having a 2 week water         supply in your home, just in case clean water is not   available.

.

*Wk. 9 Non-perishable items (Bars: Millenial, granola,       oatmeal, trail mix, beef jerky, canned ravioli,             MRE’s etc. Date for rotation. Add  enough to last    you for at least 3 days more would be better!

*Wk. 13 Stress Relief  (paper, pencils, books, magazines,    coloring books, playing cards, games, crossword                     puzzles, Sudoku, etc).

*Wk.35  Fruit & or veg (date for rotation). Make sure         they have the pull-tab on top for easy opening          

*Wk. 41  .*Other hygiene products. If you have a baby,    add diapers, bottles, formula, and baby food. If you             have a pet, add pet supplies (collar, leash, ID, food, bowl, etc).

*Wk. 49  Documents. Send 1 copy of each document to    family member/friend in separate location. Also        add a map of the area and an emergency contact            card (with local phone numbers and phone   numbers of friends/family outside of the area) to             each 72 hour kit. Another idea is to keep pictures      of family members in your kit in case you get       separated and need to ask if anyone has seen them.

Additional supplies to keep at home or in your kit based on the types of disasters common to your area:

• Whistle
• N95 or surgical masks
• Rain gear
• Towels
• Tools/supplies for securing your home
• Extra clothing, hat and sturdy shoes
• Plastic sheeting
• Household liquid bleach
• Blankets or sleeping bags
• Two-way radios
• Hand warmers
• Portable fuel source
• Light sticks (makes a great night light, especially for children)
• Pair of flip flops (in case you have to leave in such a hurry that you can’t grab shoes)

Hopefully you won’t have to use these 72 hour kits, but it’s always better to be prepared (and I promise that it will help you sleep a little more soundly at night knowing that you are just a little more ready for any emergency that might come your way!).  For more information, check out the Red Cross’ website for great ideas on how to be ready for an emergency.
