Here are my favorite bag meals, divided into 10 categories to make it easy to store 30 bag meals on the shelf, providing a one month supply of food.
![Tammy’s Favorite Bag Meals I like to store 30 bag meals to give me a one month supply meals ready to eat with only a few minutes of preparation. In addition, I store a 3 month supply of foods in a “mini-grocery store” fashion on my shelf in the basement. I include all ingredients for my bag meals in this 3 month inventory. I also include ingredients for freezer meals and other meals like Pizza and spaghetti where I pull ingredients from both my freezer and my shelf. I do my grocery shopping one a month to replenish my supply. The 30 bags meals give me the insurance that my stores will never fall below a 3 month supply. My shelves are the perfect width to hold 3 bag meals. So I have created 10 categories of meals and I store 3 meals in each category. A sticker is placed on my shelf under each category to make it easy to find the bag meal I’m looking for: Once you start making bag meals, you will see how to turn your favorite recipes into a bag meal for your family. Here are some common substitutions and ingredients: Chicken or Beef Stock: Use a 12 oz can or a 1 quart box, depending on the recipe. Canned Milk: If your recipe calls for 1 cup of milk, use a 5 oz can of milk with enough water to make one cup. Heavy Cream: Use a 12 oz can of canned milk Powdered Milk: 3 TB powder mixed with 1 cup water equals 1 cup milk – mix milk powder with flour or corn starch to make sauce packets Milk based Sauces: Use chicken or vegetable broth for the liquid. To thicken a 12 oz can of broth – use ¼ cup flour, 3 TB powdered milk and ½ tsp salt. Parmesan Cheese: Buy in bulk and put in 8 oz mason jars for bag meals. Dehydrated Potatoes: You can dehydrate your own, or purchased dehydrated diced potatoes. Cover with twice as much water and soak for 15 minutes before cooking. 10 Bag Meal Categories ,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/favoritebagmeals-090712213415-phpapp02/85/Favorite-Bag-Meals-1-320.jpg)
