What’s New: Some Things Old, Some Things New

Here’s the latest stuff that’s sure to please from shelfreliance.com! We have some new favorites and old classics to share today, so let’s get to it!

Go! Towels (Pre-Moistened, 100% Cotton Washcloths)

One of my supervisors asked me to give these new towels a try and write a product description about them. I was perfectly happy to do it, of course, but I have to say that I was really surprised at how much I liked them! I guess I was expecting a baby wipe or something of that nature – something that would feel sticky, flimsy, and totally disposable. Of course, it says right on the package that the washcloths are made from cotton, so I guess I should have known better. As it turns out, the Go! Towels are made of sturdy cloth that you can wash and reuse over and over again. They also have a real lemon scent, which is actually anti-microbial and insect-repellent. I really enjoy this product, and I plan on using the towels on car trips and hot days in the garden. I’m sure they’d be great for parents trying to clean up their kids’ hands and faces, as well as for runners or outdoor enthusiasts who want a little extra refreshment during a long trek.

“A Year’s Supply in Seven Days” by Mary Wilde

This new workbook by Mary Wilde was just added to our website earlier this week. I did a pretty thorough reading of it in under an hour, which should tell you that this is a very simple and straightforward book. The author gives you a step-by-step method to determine what you need to have in your food storage, how to make the space for it, how to save money when buying it, and, finally, how to use it. Included are weight conversions, a guide to shelf life, great recipe ideas, and a menu-planning spreadsheet to help get you started. While the author draws significantly from the words of Mormon church leaders, the principles and techniques are accessible to people of all faiths and skill levels. I really enjoyed the simplicity and practicality of this book, and the cover price of $5.95 is hard to beat! You can check it out by clicking here.

“I Can’t Believe It’s Food Storage” by Crystal Godfrey

Reading Mary Wilde’s book got me to thinking about another book that’s featured on shelfreliance.com – “I Can’t Believe It’s Food Storage” by Crystal Godfrey. This fantastic and innovative cookbook is a customer favorite that offers over 100 recipes, taking advantage of your food storage supply and helping you to make delicious family meals from what you already have on hand. This is a great cookbook for those nights when there’s plenty of food in your cupboards, but you just can’t figure out what to make with it! People go absolutely wild for Crystal’s cooking ideas, and I’ve never heard a bad review from someone who’s used this book in the kitchen.

Recipe for Cheesy Spaghetti Pie

I just have to put in a plug for this recipe, which has had a home in the Shelf Reliance Recipe Database for quite some time. I made it for dinner a week or two ago, and my husband and I enjoyed it thoroughly! We ended up having leftovers for a few days, too; it tasted great even after being refrigerated and microwaved. I felt like this recipe was just a bit more involved than making regular spaghetti, which isn’t saying much! It’s also really flexible; you can toss in any extra cheese or vegetable you might have on hand to mix it up, or you can use different varieties of noodles. For something that’s a crowd-pleaser and a quick fix, I’d recommend this recipe in a heartbeat. Get the full story by clicking here.
