The 7 Day Challenge: DAY 6 (SATURDAY)

Welcome to the 7 Day Challenge. For 7 days, we are testing our Emergency Preparedness and Food Storage Plans. Each day will bring a NEW mock emergency or situation that will test at least one of the reasons “WHY” we strive to be prepared! REMEMBER: No going to a store, gas station, or spending any money for the entire 7 days! And please feel free to adapt the scenarios to fit your own family and situation.

You have house guests coming to visit today and you just found out that they are living a strict vegan diet due to health issues. You must feed them and your family today without using meat or any other foods that come from animals. You don’t have time to go to the store before they arrive.
Goal: Eat all your meals without using meat or other animal products

Today’s Tasks:

Make breakfast without using meat, eggs, or milk, or other animal derived products
Make lunch without using meat, eggs, or milk, or other animal derived products
Make dinner without using meat, eggs, or milk, or other animal derived products
Use 3 different grains or legumes in your cooking today
Find and print out (or bookmark) 5 recipes that use grains or legumes that you can use in the future to continue rotating and using your long term food storage
SHARING TIME: Share a picture of one of your vegan meals on our Facebook page or on Instagram (use tags @foodstoragemadeeasy and #FSME7daychallenge) or write up your experiences and what you learned in the blog comments or on our Facebook discussion thread today.

Today’s Limitations:

For this day, and ALL days of the challenge: no spending money, no going to stores, and no restaurants
You cannot use any beef, chicken, pork, tuna, etc. today
You cannot use eggs or items made with eggs
You cannot use milk or items made with milk (i.e. ANY dairy)

Advanced Tasks:

Make a fancy dinner (break out the china) including a vegan dessert
Use an extra 2 grains or legumes in your cooking today
Try to avoid using products made from animal parts today (fur, leather, wool, and silk)

REMEMBER, TOMORROW’S CHALLENGE WILL BE DIFFERENT.

Make sure your fill out today’s Report Card to see how well you did, to keep track of areas you can improve, to remember things you need to do, and things you need to buy. Use the data to make a game plan to take you to the next level of preparedness, whatever that may be.
