Eacuation Food Storage Recipes

Below are the recipes that go along with the one week evacuation food menu (and associated inventory list). Many of them are listed as serving 5 people, but your results may vary according to how much each family member eats.

None of these recipes require more than a single-burner camp stove and one pot to make. A second pot and a two burner stove are helpful for preparing the side dishes. But, with one pot, you just eat your meal in courses instead of all the food together.

It is helpful to have the following cooking gear for these food storage recipes:

Cooking Gear

• Camp stove
  Recommendation: Coleman 2-Burner Propane Stove
• Pot with lid (3-4 quart/liter)
  Recommendation: 4-quart pot with lid and bail handle
• Graduated measuring cup
  Recommendation: Acrylic 2-cup measuring cup
• Measuring spoons
• Wooden spoon
