Our General Store..Powdered Milk
This will be a quick post as we are still trying to run two businesses with one computer in our home. Technology is wonderful and awful! So for now, this is today’s addition to our General Store.
This week add five pounds of powdered milk per family member to your store. I know you don’t love powdered milk but we will be adding chocolate syrup to our store and discussing other ways to “enjoy” your milk later. If you have lots of room you can store milk in boxes (like the ones soy milk comes in) instead but few of us have that kind of room. Calcium is so important to our diet and we must have a way to store it in a form that our bodies and our children’s bodies can use it. If the kids don’t like it tough! I get a little tired of people telling me their kids won’t eat certain things. In our family if you wanted dessert you learned to at least try what mom had made and there were no options. I did not prepare several meals to satisfy everyone. When I was caring for my elderly nana I would make special foods for her but that was different. She had, at one time, loved everything but at the end of her life she just was not able to eat everything. Besides, she had spoiled me for so long it was my turn to spoil her!
Go get your powdered milk this week. I will help you learn to rotate it in ways your family will never know.
Check back later for a longer post!

We had the following rules in our house while our children were growing up:
1. You have to try at least one bite/spoonful of everything that we had cooked.
2. The only times, you got to have a special meal was on your birthday or if you are ill. Every other day, you ate what Mommy or Daddy cooked.
3. If you weren’t hungry enough to eat supper, then you obviously weren’t hungry enough to want dessert, so no dessert for anyone who didn’t eat the main meal.
4. Snacks were for snack time… not for half an hour before or after a meal. I kept fresh fruit and veggies in the fridge and a basket of other healthy snacks that they could choose from for snack time which were usually mid-morning, mid-afternoon and before bed.
Were there times when this made meals less than peaceful… yes. Was teaching our children to eat a variety of healthy food worth those struggles… definitely.
Our children are now young adults and I can say with pride that they eat a wide variety of healthy food, love fruit and veggies and enjoy trying new foods and dishes.
A few months ago I found out that a local dairy plant sells 50 lb. bags of dried milk! I paid just $45, and the quality is excellent. I had to store the milk in smaller PETE containers, along with an oxygen absorber, but it was a good price any way you look at it!
I sent a note to Glenn Beck too…let’s keep this going and get some information out there that really helps..good luck Carolyn!
guess I should give you the email..me@glennbeck.com

I look forward to this. I’ve got several boxes of powered milk that have been sitting on the shelf for waaaaay too long because I just don’t like the stuff.
