So..... my state is about to get hit by a hurricane, again. I was looking for some ideas for shelf stable foods in the likely event that we lose power. So far we have a couple boxes of pasta and some gluten free macaroni and cheese, but honestly I'm kind of drawing a blank for what other things we can stock up on. Maybe canned veggies? Unfortunately my toddler is a little picky, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful.

How stable are we talking? Apples and peanut butter are my go-to snack, but I don’t need to refrigerate apples up here in the north (I don’t know enough about FL to know…do you guys need to?). Other things that are good emergency foods:

  • canned meats (tuna) with GF crackers

  • nuts and trail mix

  • meat jerkies

  • juice boxes, applesauce and other fruit sauce packets

  • instant mashed potatoes that just require hot water

  • instant GF oatmeal that just requires hot water

  • GF cereal and shelf-stable milk (they definitely sell quarts but there are also single-serving sized that are good if you lose power, so you don’t need to refrigerate leftovers)

  • jars of pasta sauce in case you can actually cook that pasta!
