Powdered Milk and Aunt Kate's Update

A couple of you have been wondering about how to get the Aunt Kate's dough mix. If you are interested in ordering a whole case for your food storage, or if you want the individual bags, you can order them from us. Just leave a comment with your contact information, or email me at kaydeem@yahoo.com and put Aunt Kate's as the subject line, (that way I know it isn't spam). I will send you a more detailed email about the cost of the mix and all of that fun stuff.


Okay, on to powdered milk. I have heard a lot of good things about using powdered milk. In fact, we have friends who drink powdered milk on a daily basis which saves them a bundle of money! So, I found a little something that may be helpful to some of you. I actually got it from a blog called Sunshine and Happiness. I thought that it had a lot of great tips.
