This is exactly the kind of info I was looking for. It can be helpful to someone just starting out as well as give new ideas to those who have been cooking for years. Thanks for all the great ideas that everyone has been giving! Stacy

I was looking at the archived chat from Thursday about stretching food to feed hungry bellies. There were lots of really good ideas. One of the reasons for this topic was stretching food now, in order to stretch money for more preps. Someone made a comment about poverty cooking (I think Mt. Rider). I was hoping to get ideas and recipes listed in this forum. If you have ideas, links or recipes on how to stretch food as far as it can please add to this topic.

Images of many species are still needed, and contributions are requested. Stacy (lots of clear photos...)

The big one looks like a dandelion? I get those in my yard. I've seen the other one pop up like a weed...just not sure what it is. Stacy

A Neti Pot can also be bought locally at a health food store. Out food coop has several different kinds. It takes a bit to get used to using one. Using it makes me gag...but, it works. Stay

I read this last year. Scary stuff because it's very real. It was one thing that made me push harder to prep.
