Here we are starting another winter and we felt that the video we did last year for Emergency Creations was so to the point that we are repeating it again this year. Continue to read to get the other two recipes found in the video.

During the winter months there are Snow days when we cannot travel with safety and you need to make up something to eat from what you have in your fridge and pantry.

On the H!Diet we eat mostly raw food and as you might already know raw food only stays fresh for 3-4 days, so there are some things we should always have on hand in the fridge and pantry for just this occasion.

Pantry List

Things I have in my store of emergency goods:

• Nuts (an assortment of raw natural almonds, pecans, walnuts, pine-nuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts)
• Seeds (an assortment of sunflower, pumpkin, poppy, sesame, chia, hemp)I buy both my nuts and seeds, organic and raw from www.SproutMaster.com and keep them in glass mason jars in the fridge or freezer.
• Cans of organic foods such as: diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beans
• Organic spices and herbs (I also keep these in glass jars)

Serving size: (4-6 people)

Did you know? Raw potatoes contain easily digested natural sugars that convert to starch when cooked. Potatoes are high in potassium, sulphur, chlorine and phosphorus and have good cleansing benefits. Besides using in a raw juice, there are a variety of methods to cook potatoes such as baking, boiling, or mashing. Potato varieties: white, red, russet, yellow Finn, new, purple, Yukon gold, fingerlings, Bintje.
