Stocking up in keeping it postive

Like the squirrel gathering nuts for the winter, I gather canned food. There just might be days where I have no desire to go out due to the winter weather.

Every time I shop for groceries, I make sure to get extra cans of beans or of soup. (I love the lentil soup over brown rice or kasha.) I also stock up on canned carrots and canned corn.

I try to get fresh salads, veggies, and other items to pair with all this processed foods, but at least there’s SOMETHING just in case.

I also have lots of oatmeal, dried fruit, and the spices that go into the oatmeal - cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice or ginger. And in case I cannot get milk, I have lots of cocoa that I can mix my instant coffee into - great mocha!
