Food Rotation Systems

When Shelf Reliance first started out, their very first product was the Food Rotation Systems. These systems make it possible to store tons of cans, from tuna/chicken size cans to regular can good size cans, all the way up to #10 size cans. They maximize very little space and give you the ability to store more....no more under the bed, in the closet storage!
From the Shelf Reliance website: "Food storage management has never been easier thanks to Shelf Reliance Food Rotation Systems. Available in sixteen sizes and two depths, our food rotation systems were designed to easily store and rotate a large amount of cans. Every food rotation system features patented front-loading technology and fits easily into most storage spaces. Shelf Reliance Food Rotations Systems are customizable and offer a variety of convenient, versatile food organization options."
I fell in love with these about 4 years ago at a Time Out For Women Conference. They have a "clean" look to them, helped with organization- they feature the first-in-first-out technology and could store tons!

A friend of mine attend one of my very first home parties and purchased one for her husband for his birthday....she was kind enough to share her before and after pictures. Take note: on the bottom shelf is 18oz peanut butter....I'm not sure why is has never occurred to me that the shelves could rotate peanut butter...but they can!! We ALWAYS have tons of peanut butter and I love that it will fit in the Food Rotation Systems! So your ability to store many different products and sizes is really limitless!

Sausage Pancakes

3 1/3 cups 6 Grain THRIVE pancake mix
2 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup FD THRIVE sausage crumbles(re-hydrated- 1/2 cup FD sausage crumbled, add hot water, let set for about 3-4 minutes, drain, then add the pancake batter)

Cook on griddle until golden on both sides. Makes about 20 3-4 inch pancakes.

This is what my family has this morning for breakfast. It's made from 100% food storage. My kids loved the pancakes and even had seconds:)

Egg Powder

Did you know THRIVE could help you save money??? Take the Egg Powder, a #10 can is $19.65 (Retails for $21.89) and has the equivalent to just at 20 dozen eggs. I was in the grocery store yesterday and had to buy a dozen of eggs, I paid $1.58 a dozen. So had I bought 20 dozen eggs I would had paid $31.60. Buying the egg powder saves $11.95!!! That's a huge savings within your grocery budget!
You can use egg powder just like eggs! My family has had them scrambled, we've made breakfast casseroles, and we use them in our baking! Basically any recipes that calls for a whole egg, you can use the egg powder. The best part is you can store the can in your pantry! The Shelf Life is 5 years unopened and 6 months opened!

Butter Powder

How many of us have needed butter in our cooking, only to discover that there was none in the refrigerator? I know I have! Wouldn't it be nice to have butter in your pantry that is good for 5 years unopened and 9 months opened? Shelf Reliance offers THRIVE Butter Powder! It can be used in your daily cooking and baking and you can even spread it on your toast!

Here's the conversion for using butter powder: The conversion is 1 to 1. If you need 1 cup of butter add 1 cup of butter powder plus 1/4 cup water. For Spreadable Butter you can make honey butter: Spreadable Butter--for your bread Honey Butter 1 cup butter powder, 1 cup honey, ½ water, 1 c powder sugar, 1 t vanilla, Using wire whisk, beat ingredients until creamy. Powdered Butter for Baking- When used in baking add dry butter powder with dry ingredients. If the recipe calls for butter to be “creamed” with sugar as it does in many cookies recipes, add the butter powder, sugar, and water (just the water to rehydrate the butter) and cream that. It will NOT look right, but it will bake right. If the recipe calls for butter to be “cut in” as it does in many biscuit recipes. Just stir the butter powder into the dry ingredients with a wisk then add the water to rehydrate with the wet ingredients.

Prices for Butter Powder:

#10 Can $19.05...Retails for $21.19

Pantry Can $8.35...Retails for $9.29

Another Introduction

My name is Eden Johnson and as one of Fran’s teammates, I thought I would take a minute to introduce myself as well. I am a wife and mother of four. My oldest son, Ammon is 10. I have two daughters, Abigail (6) and Isabel (3). The caboose of our family is Isaac who is 4 months old. My husband and I have tried maintaining a supply of food storage since we married 12 years ago. I have always had a problem actually using the food, especially because consisted of mostly major staples and little easy to use, good tasting foods. When we moved to Augusta a few years ago, I was asked to be the Food Storage/Preparedness Specialist for our Ward. I found it hard to motivate people to get and use the suggested food storage requirements. I often listened to people ask about supplements to the major staples and I never had a good answer to tell them. I had not found a great product myself so it was hard to recommend them to other people. The only products I found that were quality were either cost prohibitive or required massive orders to get competitive pricing. Fran discovered THRIVE and introduced it to me. I have been so impressed by not only the quality of the food offered, but also the value you get with each can. I have found myself sneaking into the kitchen to steal handfuls of freeze-dried strawberries. My husband is thrilled at the prospect of making his breakfast oatmeal with different fruits each morning. My nephew is allergic to beef and now has a great tasting alternative that even his family can enjoy. The meats and vegetables are easy to use and incorporate into any regular diet. I hope that, if you have not already, you come to a tasting party and try them for yourself!
