A Few Recipes from Last Week's Activity

Emergency Survival Bar
3 C. cereal (oatmeal, cornmeal, or wheat flakes)
¼ tsp. salt
3 Tblsp. Honey
2 ½ C. powdered milk
1 C. sugar
½ C. Jello (optional)
¼ C. water
Place all dry ingredients except Jello in a bowl. Bring water, honey and Jello to a boil. Add to dry ingredients. Mix well. Add water little at a time until mixture is just moist enough to mold. Place in small square dish and dry in the oven under very low heat. Wrap and store. This will make 2 bars, each containing approx. 1000 calories or enough food for one day. These will store for a long time if they are cooked until quite dry, and are excellent for emergency packs, etc. Eat dry, or cooked in about ¾ C water.

Orange Julius
2 C. orange juice
2 Tblsp. Sugar
½ C. powdered milk
½ tsp vanilla
½ C. crushed ice
Put all ingredients in blender and blend until ice is completely crushed. Makes three 6-ounce servings

The orange julius is what we made at the RS activity last week. YUM!

Wheat Berry Pudding (the amazing yumminess that Alexis Middleton made!!!)

· 2 cups cooked wheat berries
· 2 tablespoons plus 3 cups low-fat milk, divided
· 1 cinnamon stick
· 1 strip orange zest, (1/2 by 2 inches)
· Pinch of salt
· 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
· 1/2 cup low-fat maple yogurt, (optional)
·
1. Place the wheat berries and 2 tablespoons milk in a food processor. Pulse, scraping down the sides as necessary, until most of the wheat berries are coarsely chopped (some may remain whole).
2. Combine the chopped wheat berries, the remaining 3 cups milk, cinnamon stick, orange zest and salt in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the mixture is very thick, 25 to 30 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat; discard the cinnamon stick and orange zest. Stir in maple syrup and vanilla.
4. Serve warm or chilled, sprinkled with cinnamon and topped with a dollop of maple yogurt, if desired. (Stir in more milk if the pudding gets too thick as it stands.)
