Powdered milk is a GREAT item to have in your food storage.  There are so many recipes calling for dairy.  If you are still on the fence about buying powdered milk, here are a few reasons why you should invest:

1. It is cheaper than milk
2. Easier to “have milk on hand” than having a cow or goat
3. Shelf stable
4. If you run out of milk in your fridge, you don’t have to run to the store to grab some
5. Its crazy easy to cook with!

I keep powdered milk in my food storage… so that I have milk I can USE for cooking in case electricity goes out or if we are tight on our food budget, we can make till next month with some milk.

As I started buying powdered milk, I wanted to be sure I knew how to use it so I could rotate it out.  I was also given about 10 #10 cans of powdered milk from 1999 and was wanting to use it up so I could replace it with a more “fresh” supply.  I came up with a list of some great recipes to practice using your powdered milk.  (Personally, I’ve never drink my powdered milk… I only cook with it…. I’m not THAT brave, yet).
