Here in the Midwest we are supposed to get a fair amount of snow mid-week. In this house we were warned that the power goes off pretty easily, so a storm bringing lots of ice and snow leaves me wondering just how and what I will be feeding my kids in the dark and cold that might happen. Thankfully we do have a gas stove, but I don't want to be opening the fridge if the power is off!
So here is what I came up with, not the most nutritious things, but easy to find and prepare came first! And you can always get some gummie vitamins, the bear shaped ones are allergen free! Hopefully this can help you think thru food you could serve in a electricity or gas free environment :)
Breakfast
Cereal plain and simple. We never ever have it around here because one of my kids can go thru half a box in one sitting and there isn't all that much nutrition in it. But we grabbed some GF chex (the chocolate and cinnamon kinds don't have any milk or nuts either) and GF Rice Crispies and are all set.
Lunch
This will be sunbutter (Trader Joes brand doesn't contain any soy) and honey sandwiches, we like Udi's bread, and potato chips. I also grabbed some raisins, bananas, apples and boxes of apple juice.
Dinner
Soup. There are many different options out there, even Walmart carries some organics now! Just do your due diligence and read the ingredient list and find ones you and your family will enjoy! If you have a fireplace or gas stove this is a great option. If you don't, sticking with the sandwiches and fruit might be the easiest rout.
If the power does go out my kids are going to think they have gone on vacation!
Enjoy!
