Changes are coming to the Home Storage Centers

As of November 1st, packaging at our Spokane Home Storage Center will be discontinued. After November 1st, those interested in purchasing food storage items will find prepackaged items and bulk items as listed on the current Home Storage Order Form. Because the system needs to build up stock levels and adjust for the upcoming demand, all of the planned 17 pre-packaged items may not be available at first.
For the time being, the cannery will continue providing the packaging materials for home packaging.
The cannery will not order any more bulk product from Utah for the 17 products that will be prepackaged. They will receive bulk stock to be sold until it runs out, which may be before November 1st for some of the items.

Homemade Seasoning Mixes




Make your own Ranch, Dry Onion Soup Mix and Taco Seasoning and store in small mason jars....This is soooo much HEALTHIER than those you buy at the store!! They contain a TON of stuff that is not good for you!!

Taco Seasoning:
1/2 cup chili powder
1/4 cup onion powder
1/8 cup ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon sea salt
Put ingredients into a jar and shake.Use 4 tablespoons in a recipe in place of 1 packet of taco seasoning. Store in a cool, dry place.

Dry Onion Soup Mix:
2/3 cup dried, minced onion
3 teaspoons parsley flakes
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Mix all ingredients in a jar, then give the jar a good shake. I’d recommend shaking the jar to mix the ingredients well before each use.
Use 4 tablespoons in a recipe in place of 1 packet of onion soup mix. Store in a cool, dry place.

Ranch:
5 tablespoons dried minced onions
7 teaspoons parsley flakes
4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Mix together and store in an air tight container.
For dressing: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup buttermilk or sour cream.
For dip: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 2 cups sour cream or Greek Yogurt.
Mix up a few hours before serving, so the flavors all blend.
