How to Have Your Food Storage and Eat It Too!: Foods that Heal

Getting Started

"Perhaps if we think not in terms of a year's supply of what we ordinarily would use, and think more in terms of what it would take to keep us alive in case we didn't have anything else to eat, that last would be very easy to put in storage for a year....and if you think in terms of that kind of annual storage rather than a whole year's supply of everything that you are accustomed to eating which, in most cases, is utterly inpossible for the average family, I think we will come nearer to what President Clark advised us way back in 1937." ---President Harold B. Lee, 1966

" Let every head of household see to it that he has on hand enough food and clothing, and, where possible, fuel also, for at least a year ahead." --President J. Reuben Clark, Jr. Conference Report, April 1937

Foods that Heal

My next few posts will list foods that can help to heal the body from A to Z. Of course they need to be eaten on a regular basis, and leave out the sweets and junk food.

Here are four "A" foods that help to heal and what they are good for.

APPLES: Protect your heart, prevent constipation, block diarrhea, improve lung capacity, cushion joints, and help with weight loss.

APRICOTS: Combat cancer, control blood pressure, save your eyesight, shield against Alzheimer's, slow the aging process. (Give me some NOW!)

ARTICHOKES: Aid in digestion, lower cholesterol, protect your heart, stabilizes blood sugar, guard against liver disease.

AVOCADOS: Battle diabetes, lower cholesterol, help stop strokes, control blood pressure and smooths the skin. (Give me some of these too, NOW!)

We'll also be looking for tasty ways to use these foods. If you have any ideas please make a comment. Next up are "B" foods.

Recipe

TAMALE PIE
Mix together in large bowl:
2 TBS oil
2 TBS dried minced onion
1 Can black beans or equivalent prepared dry beans
1 Can diced tomatoes undrained
1 Can corn undrained
1 tsp oregano leaves
1 TBS chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder or equivalent fresh minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp parsley

Mix together 3/4 C. cornmeal, 1 1/2 C. reconstituted powdered milk and 1 egg or equivalent egg powder reconstituted according to directions. Add this mixture to the above and mix well. Pour into large greased 2 1/2 quart baking dish. Bake at 325 or 350 degrees (depending on your oven) for 40-45 minutes. During the last five minutes add 1 1/2 C. of shredded cheese on top and let it melt. Serves 8-12.

If real cheese isn't available you could substitute dried cheese powder and mix with cornmeal mixture before adding other ingredients. I haven't tried this, but it would probably work well.

If adding ground meat, brown it first in a large skillet with the oil and onion and add to remaining ingredients. Then add to cornmeal mixture and bake.

Variations: Can add green chilies, green or red peppers, olives, etc. Any kind of beans can be substituted.
