I love hearing from all of you about my book.  The positive feedback has been wonderful…and makes all of those very, very long nights writing it all worth it!  Here is one review I couldn’t pass up from Jim at EverythingPrepared.com!

Here is what Jim had to say…

I Can’t Believe It’s Food Storage is a great book I highly recommend. How would you like to have your home food storage and actually be able to eat it too?

The “Rock Star of Food Storage” finally reveals the methods she uses to simply and deliciously use her food storage in her everyday meals. This book is a must have for for anyone with food storage. You will not have to wonder any longer about how to use your home food storage as Crystal provides simple, step-by-step examples that will help you use it instead of lose it. I wish I had this book years ago.

I have to admit, when Crystal contacted  me about reviewing I Can’t Believe It’s Food Storage, I was a bit skeptical, but excited too. I had learned about the book through Twitter (eatfoodstorage) and the Food Storage Network. They have some great information on their sites so I was interested in seeing what Crystal had to say in her book. I had initially contacted her about reviewing it, but hadn’t heard anything.

When Crystal did contact me, I looked forward to receiving the book. After all, I enjoy reading about food storage and emergency preparedness and have a small library of books on the subjects.

There are 7 great things I noticed about this book:

  1. It is easy to read and follow.
  2.  It shows you how to decide if you are a menu person or a themed person.
  3. It teaches you “tricky” ways to sneak food storage into your meals so your family will be wanting second and third helpings (We used this in our family with great results even before I read Crystal’s book).
  4. It is well researched with addresses (linking info) to key resources you can use right now (this save you a lot of time).
  5. Key questions about food storage are answered with tips and links to helpful videos.
  6. It is written for LDS readers with quotes and thoughts from LDS leaders so the LDS population won’t have to search for them.
  7. Best of all…there are over 100 tried and “kitchen-tested” recipes in I Can’t Believe It’s Food Storage. 
    Side Bar: Thank you Matt (Crystal’s Husband) and Kate (her daughter) for being the taste testers.

Bonus: You’ll love the conversion charts. It makes it easy to convert measurements, and it takes away the guesswork and time to do math calculations.

There was only one thing wrong with the book. It didn’t include our Home Food Storage Supplies website as a place to purchase products online (just a little humor). Maybe I can talk her into adding it to her next edition of I Can’t Believe It’s Food Storage.

All kidding aside. This is an outstanding book I highly recommend.

I believe everyone should have this book.

  5. I go to a Baptist Church in a rural town in Georgia. I was wondering can I order food from the LDS Canneries to be shipped to my home in Georgia. Thanks.

  7. The Canneries do not normally ship items. Even LDS members need to show up at the door to pick them up. I am not sure what the policy is on showing up and purchasing for those who are not members, however, many members will be willing to take someone or help them out as a “missionary opportunity” or goodwill gesture. It is my understanding that you can go to http://www.ldscatalog.com and place an order for a few select items to be shipped to your home. I hope this helps.

  9. I read your book and pass it around too.   I discovered something simple you may want to add to your powdered eggs arsenol of recipes.  I use hot water and a whisk to dissolve the clumps easily, and flavor it with salt, garlic powder and onion powder.  It’s an  absolutely amazing difference.  I scramble it up in a hot pan with olive oil and an egg sandwich, or eggs and potatoes actually tastes the way it did before.  Better still, microwaved left overs tasted even better!!  Try it.  I hated the horrible taste and hideous texture of powdered eggs until now.   

    1. I have to try this! THANK YOU!
