Uh Oh Hurricane Season Is Here

 The end of August brings about that last minute summer vacation, school shopping and hurricane season. The last means everything from flooding and no power. It also means getting ready food wise,

Some are lucky to have generators to keep the electricity continuing. Some don't. If that's the case , the first thing is to empty the fridge and freezer, Cook what you can on the stove or the grill. All those veggies can be made and even be turned into a vegan dinner. Surprisingly you can even cook Tater Tots on the grill. Just use a vegetable basket or aluminum foil folded into into a packet to cook them.Frozen pasta can also be cooked on the barbecue if you have metal containers. As for the ice cream. think ice cream sodas which is a nice diversion, along with keeping  the soda cold.You can also make ice cream sandwiches using any kind of wafer cookie and whatever you have. Melting popsicles can be used to flavor seltzer along with chilling it. As for the dairy in the fridge, milk, butter and even yogurt can be whisked with flour and cheese to create yummy sauces for meats , veggies and pasta.

IF you're prepping for a hurricane ,then stock up on canned goods. Tuna and salmon are good and storable sources of protein as are deviled ham and chicken.THese can be used in salads or sandwiches,. They're also good on crackers which is another must buy. Another good source of proteins are beans. Buy a variety so you can make bean salads, always a good  side with grilled foods. Buy fruits and veggies you know will last. They also provide an adequate amount of vitamins and nutrients much needed during a stressful time.What you also need is coolers and ice packs. Cold water can also do the trick. Buy enough bottled water because you may also wind up using it for brushing teeth and washing. Dry cereal is another must >The kinds can eat it dry if you can't get milk. IT also makes for a good snack too. Protein and energy bars are also needed. They can be used for breakfast or be toted around for easy snacking,
