I’m getting really tired of my food expiring before I make anything with it, and I want to quit buying anything that can’t be frozen or last several months in the cupboard.

    Not specific answers for recipes, more of here’s some fundamental ideas look online, so for example if I said flour, water, yeast, salt that is bread. Remove yeast you have crackers. Add baking soda you have soda crackers. Add olive oil, you have pizza dough exct.

    Flour

    Water

    Beans

    Oats

    Nuts

    Wheat Gluten

    Oil

    Dried fruit

    Dehydrated vegetables

    Sugar

    Salt

    Rice

    Oats

    Peanutbutter

    Jelly

    Tyme or other spices

    Lentils

    Corn meal

    Baking soda

    Vinegar

    Baking powder

    Yeast

    Coffee

    Tea

    Dehydrated meat?

    Now, I don’t know your situation but if you need food and you are in a financial bind not just looking for stuff that doesn’t expire. Check out your local food bank/pantry. There’s no shame in that.

    Personally I do a lot of canning and foraging for things. So food storage is pretty important. I don’t buy a lot of groceries. There are a lot of options for long lasting food, but too many to share.

    I definitely would look up homesteading and some recipes from that.

      Ah, I’m not doing this because of money or anything. I’m just getting frustrated whenever I buy an onion for a recipe, and it goes squishy before I can actually cook the thing. If I can get rid of all the stuff like that from my diet, then I’ll be happy.

      Thanks for the homesteading suggestion, though. I’ll keep that in mind when I’m searching for recipes online. That community might also have some nice tips for how to live like this.
