Instant Homemade MREs

Calling all people who dehydrate...

...or people who backpack and camp...

...or preppers...

As part of my 'Preppers Project' book series, I am working on a book of recipes using shelf-stable ingredients.  These are actual meals in a pint or half pint jar... from breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and even snacks. They all use dehydrated or otherwise shelf-stable ingredients, then are placed in a jar and stored until ready to use.

Hopefully, I can post lots over the next few weeks. Test the recipes, then post your pix and comments.

Thanks!
