Food Storage Friday - Mac and Cheese
I feel kind of silly sharing this no-brainer recipe with you all, but it was just introduced to me and I thought it was great! It's so easy, so simple, so.... good! My kids loved it! And isn't that what a food storage recipe is supposed to be like?
There are only two ingredients: 1 lb pasta, and a can of cheddar cheese soup:
Cook your pasta, drain it, and pour in the soup. I didn't even have to heat the soup since it heated up so much on contact with the pasta. I didn't add water or anything, but I think it would be better (and a bit creamier) if I had added half a cup or so of the hot pasta water. I'll do that next time.
Enjoy!

Reader Question: Evaporated Milk
One of the items I am considering leaving out of my food storage is
evaporated milk. It has such a short shelf life. I don't mind using it
up in quiches, but I don't want to eat that much quiche.
It's okay in yogurt, but not great.
The powdered milk is not a problem. We use it for everything except straight up drinking, so we don't buy as much fresh milk when it comes time to rotate.
Do you store evaporated milk? If you do, how do you keep it rotated?

I will be curious to hear everyone's answers to this, because I used to store a lot of evaporated and sweetened condensed milk and ended up throwing them away because they expired before I used them. Now I just keep 3-4 cans of each on hand and most of my milk storage is powdered.
I have a crepe recipe that uses evaporated milk and there are loads of dessert recipes (think fudge) which use sweetened condensed milk. Other than that, I'm out of ideas.
Do you store evaporated milk or sweetened condensed milk? How do you rotate it?
