Chicken Ala King

The great thing about this delicious recipe for Chicken Ala King is that you don't have to use just food storage. The entire recipe CAN come right out of your Freeze Dried or Dehydrated food storage. But if you have fresh vegetables, use them! Or fresh chicken, cream or butter. Whatever you happen to have.

This recipe is a great one to try now, to get ready for when you will have to cook this. If you're using our FD Chicken, FD Asparagus, FD Green Peppers or FD Zucchini, or using fresh versions of the same, I think you will find this dish delicious and simple to make.

Also, any Freeze Dried Vegetable could be used in this recipe, as well as all of our different poultry options. This is great with  FD Chicken, or FD Asian Chicken, or FD Turkey.

Food Storage Egg Nog

I know it sounds ridiculous, but it is possible to make eggnog entirely from food storage!

We have found that some people may not always keep vanilla and nutmeg on hand. If you have it, great, use it. If not, this recipe shows you how to substitute Cinnamon for nutmeg, and useBrown Sugar instead of white sugar and vanilla extract.

The thing that I really loved about making this was using the Mixer Pitcher. While it certainly isn't required, it makes this and many other jobs a whole lot easier.

The end result is delicious. This egg nog is going to be a lot thinner than a traditional Eggnog that is made with cream. But this is a great way to introduce food storage to family and friends in a way that will taste good. And since the Powdered Eggs are pasteurized, there is no risk of food born illness that you would get with using raw eggs.
