October is Oat Month!
Practical Preparedness Pointers

Did you know that a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) needs to store 75 lbs. of oats for a one year supply? Did you know that to purchase 75 lbs. of oats from the church Cannery only costs you $22.50? It would cost you a lot more to take that same family to the movies ONE TIME than provide an entire YEAR worth of oats for your family! Make the cannery a priority this month!

Cannery Date: Wednesday, October 28th from 11-1

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

USE YOUR FOOD STORAGE! Both oats and wheat from your long term storage are in this great recipe.

1 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour (try wheat flour)
1 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt
3 c. oats (or quick oats)
1 c. raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix well. Add oats and raisins, combine thoroughly. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Longer if you like them crispy.
