Josefina Arenas – I’m just starting to learn about making meals in a jar also 🙂 I have Stephanie Petersen’s book too but haven’t read it yet. I’m planning to get the little 6-recipe Meals in a Jar cookbook from FoodStorageMadeEasy.net soon. If you haven’t already seen it, here’s the “Food Storage Made Easy” recipe for Beef Stroganoff in a Jar: In a 1 Quart jar, ‘pack 1/2 cup Thrive Bechamel Sauce powder, 2 Tablespoons Thrive Espagnole Gravy powder, 1/2 Cup Thrive Sour Cream powder, 2 Tablespoons Thrive Beef Bouillon powder, 2 teaspoons Dill Weed, 1 Cup Thrive Freeze Dried Beef Slices, 2+1/2 Cups Thrive Egg Noodle Pasta, and 1/3 Cup Thrive Freeze Dried Mushcooms (Optional). To cook the dish, in a large saucepan bring 5 ½ cups of water to a boil. Add contents of jar and let simmer for 15-20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken.’ I assume you could use a different brand for most of these ingredients if you wanted to but it is based on Thrive brand products. I haven’t tried it yet but thought it sounded interesting.
