Food Storage Moms-Free Printables
I want to add several of my Food Storage Moms printables to this post so they are easy to find. If you remember one I have forgotten, please let me know. This is 12 years’ worth of Food Storage Moms printables, not the printable recipes (except my bread recipes).
The very first printable I designed was with help from my sister, Carol. I would scribble my thoughts onto white sheets of paper, and she would “purdy them up.” I’m not very techie with making forms. I had to learn to copy and paste twelve years ago. Yep, I own it.
Then, I decided for my blog: I would never sell or charge for any products, printables, e-books, membership fees, or webinars on my website. However, I do have ads posted that help pay for the expenses of my website.
These printables are basic ideas and guidelines for my readers when starting or continuing their efforts to be better prepared. Emergencies come in many forms and don’t have to be the result of natural disasters. You can lose your job, have an accident or injury that pulls you away from work and family, or lose a loved one who is the breadwinner. Being ready to move forward and survive these and other scenarios is critical.

Emergency Documents Binder Contents by Food Storage Moms
Here’s what my binder looks like. It has a zipper outside to keep all the contents safely secured inside. This has been among my most popular items as readers prepare for emergencies. It should be included in every 72-hour Kit, grab-and-go bag, or other tote. It comes in handy whether you must evacuate or hunker down at home.
It’s essential to make it as complete as possible, readily available, periodically updated, and its location is known to all family members. You may have some unique items in your binder, but that’s ok; our needs and priorities can be different. Having identification, birth certificates, insurance policies, divorce decrees, home and car titles and deeds, and other documentation is a must during emergencies.
FSM FREE Printable Emergency Binder Download I prefer printing it on cardstock, and it’s actually in color if you want to print with a color printer.
Food Storage Moms No-Fail Bread Recipes
I know people sell bread-making e-books, but here’s the deal: I want to teach people the pioneer skills of making bread. My recipes are no-fail as long as you have fresh ingredients. Anyone can make bread. I would love to open a bakery and teach people how to make bread. There is nothing quite like the feel of bread dough in your hands and teaching others to make it.
If you know how to make bread and bread-based food items, your family can survive. Of course, you need the ingredients and some water to mix up the bread dough, but as a prepper, you have those things on hand. When eating during an emergency, you want foods each family member will eat, and bread is a top choice. Add peanut butter, jam, cold cuts, tomatoes, or other family favorites, and have toast or a sandwich ready.

Pressure Cooker Printable by Food Storage Moms
Using a pressure cooker is one of my favorite kitchen activities. My top choice is the Sagor (used to be Fagor) Pressure Cooker, which seems sturdier than the Instant Pot. I have both of them, so I have used both. I took classes with Chef Brad using the Fagor product and worked at a kitchen store, teaching people how to make bread, cinnamon rolls, and so much more. It was an enjoyable job. They sold only the Sagor, so I bought a Sagor for all four daughters for Christmas one year after using both.
Cooking with a pressure cooker makes meal preparation easy and time-saving. If you have some tough meat, cook it in the pressure cooker. If you don’t have a rice cooker, use a pressure cooker. If you’re in a hurry to fix dinner after a long day at work, use your pressure cooker.
Each food group has its own unique time and temperature setting, so the final results are what you desire. The printables help solve those types of questions.
Here is the pressure cooker printable:

Dutch Oven Printable by Food Storage Moms
For years, Mark and I had travel trailers and pop-ups. We loved to get out and spend a few days in the mountains or by a lake. He often plans it around a golf course setting, and I’d read a good book, listen to music, or nap. For meals, we’d plan things around our Dutch oven and have a variety of delicious meals. Each time we’d use the Dutch oven, we’d picture cooking meals during emergencies and gain confidence that we could survive no matter what.

Where Do I Start by Food Storage Moms
I’ve been storing food my whole marriage. Being prepared has always been vital for me. Knowing where to start and how to maintain a complete food inventory during an emergency is daunting for many. My Meal Planning Schedule is a great way to catch the vision, implement a storage plan, and put it to work.
What Do I Have by Food Storage Moms
Knowing what’s in the pantry or on those basement shelves is essential. These printables help you stay fully stocked, well-organized, and informed at all times. Keep them up to date and monitored, and you’ll sleep better at night.
72-Hour Kits by Food Storage Moms
These kits are essential, but knowing what’s in them and how to use them is vital. Each family member should have their own and be stocked with those unique items appropriate by age and personal needs. Have them checked periodically to make sure they’re up to date and that items haven’t expired or spoiled. Rotate items out as needed and add items as circumstances change. Make sure they’re readily accessible and that each family member knows where they are.

Food Storage Moms Portable Kitchen
You can store food for use in an emergency, but you need a way to cook, serve, and clean it up. A portable kitchen serves these purposes and takes much of the worry out of “how to” when an emergency arises. Your potable kitchen can take on a life of its own based on what and how you do meal prep, but this printable has the basics you’ll need as you put your emergency plans together.
Food Storage Moms First Aid Kit
Other challenges often come along in an emergency situation, including injury and sickness. My first aid kit is below, and the printable outlines what I feel are the most critical items to include. Again, yours may be different, but there are several basic first-aid items we all should stock and have ready for use.
It’s great to have a quality first aid kit, but remember that you’ll also need the training and expertise to put the included items to use. Consider taking a current first aid class so you know you’ll be prepared to put the contents to their best use.
New printables will be added as I think of them. I hope this makes it easier to find the ones you can use. Feel free to pass on any of these printables to people you feel will benefit by having and using them. Also, I suggest your family and friends sign up for my daily blog newsletter to gain insight into everything prepping. Thanks again for being prepared for the unexpected. We can do this together. May God bless this world, Linda
Would like to subscribe
Hi, Richard, I will add your email, just check to confirm, thank you so much. Linda
It says you already subscribed, I wonder if it’s going to your spam? Linda
Are these printables in the book you wrote? I have your book and just wondering if I need to print these as well. Thanks
Hi Treena, I know my whole wheat bread recipe is in there but not the others. My binder is not in my book, or “Where Do I Start” or “What Do I have” (that I need to add right now because I forgot that one). The Dutch oven chart or pressure cook charts are not in my book either. I will be adding some as I make them or remember that I made them. Thanks so much for purchasing my book, Linda
Hi Treena!
I’m so pleased I’m not the only who really makes good use of Linda’s book. One suggestion though?
Go back to the store and grab a second copy! My first copy is quite sad and bedraggled, loaded with Post-it Notes and layers of highlighter! Granted my second copy is getting a little rough around the edges, but every time I read it I find one more thing I hadn’t noticed the first time!
Hi Cheryl, oh my gosh you are so cute!!! Thank you for your kind words about my book! It’s people like you that keep me going! I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! Hugs! Linda P.S. Let me know if I need to send you another book!!!
Thank you Linda for you hard work in putting these list together. I printed them and will have to start getting things together. Here comes another storm but hope it misses SE Texas this time.
Hi, Melba, I am going to add more as I remember the ones I have made. I will also add new ones as I think about them. if we lose power we will need printables. The storms this year are crazy! I hope it misses SE Texas as well. Hugs, Linda
Do you have recipie for making refried beans with electric pressure cooker ???
Hi Mary, I have a pressure cooker printable sheet for beans on my website, this is what I do. You do not need to soak the beans overnight. I have a Fagor electric pressure cooker. I use one cup dry pinto beans (check for rocks) with 3 cups water, in other words, 1-3 ratio beans/water. I add one onion finely chopped, 3 cloves chopped garlic, one tablespoon cumin, 3 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped. I also use the juice from one lime as well. I set the pressure cooker on high for 50-60 minutes. If the beans are old cook them longer. When you open the pressure cooker if they need more time to cook them, reset the pressure cooker on high for 10-minute increments until they are cooked to your preference. I use a potato masher for mine after cooking them. You can add your own favorite spices to this recipe. I love beans, Linda
What is the black three level thing on wheels and where did you get it?
thanks,

Hi, Karen, it’s called a Stanley Fat Max. I got it on Amazon cheaper than at Home Depot. Let me see if this link works: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V29B7K?ie=UTF8&tag=foostomom00-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B000V29B7K Stanley 020800R FatMax 4-in1 Mobile Work Station for Tools and Parts
You are such a blessing! I printed out your Emergency Info Binder pages that you had a couple of weeks ago. Then took it to Office Depot, bought a ream of cardstock and printed 15 sets. I have been putting together binders as gifts for family and friends.
I gave a set to our friends; they were so impressed by the amount of information they could now have in one place, in an easy to use format, as well as have important documents organized and ready to take with them at a moments notice! That’s really important as they live very close to the water here in NW Florida.
( PS that storm south of the Yucatan Peninsula is forecast to come visit us, not Se Texas next weekend. Pray it just dissipate as our area has had 20-30″ of rain in the last 2 weeks and the ground is just mushy.)
I haunt thrift stores, yard and estate sales for zippered binders, leftover sheet protectors and any other office supplies that can be used to create the Emergency Info Binders.
Will be printing out several of your lists here. Hope my husband bought a new ink cartridge!
Hi BDN, wow, what a great friend you are!! What a blessing you are to them! I just sent you an email, so please check for a message I sent you. Stay safe, and keep prepping! You rock! Linda
Oh, Linda! I have never made a comment before, but I wanted to know more about your book as well as tell you how much I appreciate your gifts of knowledge. I have much food storage including home canned goods, but there is always something new to discover as we prep for the inevitable. Thank you, thank you for encouraging us all to take care of our own families and anyone else who has a need; you are the example of gracious sharing and love of others.
Hi Shirley, oh my goodness, thank you for your kind words! It’s people like you who keep me going. I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Hugs! Linda
I just want to say thank you for your printables. I had tried starting an ICE binder but found it a bit overwhelming and wasn’t sure where to start. Your printables give me hope that I won’t mess this up and that I can handle this.
Hi Millie, oh I love hearing this!! Thank you so much for letting me know. It means so much to me, Linda
As I have to eat Paleo for the most part I was wondering what would replace the breads part of my food storage.
Hi Deborah, I have heard about the Paleo diet but I don’t know enough to help you with this. I struggle with diets that require almond and coconut flour for long term storage. The diet is fine, I’m just saying those flours do not store well for long-term storage. I remember making some gluten-free bread, it’s expensive to make and had some ingredients that would have been hard to store for anyone. What are you eating for bread right now? Is it sprouted bread? Hmmmm. This is a tough one for me. Linda
I love your site. I have your book. Today I checked out your lists.
You have put together a great resource.
Thanks you,
Hi Lisa, thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words! Stay well, Linda
I believe this is the new link for the Stanley Mobile Kitchen: https://amzn.to/3wKqWNJ
Hi Kay, I will fix it, I tried to catch all of them. Thank you so much! Linda
Linda,
The Stanley Mobile Kitchen is available at Home Depot for $40 less than Amazon. They also offer free shipping on the item. Here is the link if someone wants to save the $40. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-22-in-4-in-1-Cantilever-Mobile-Tool-Box-020800R/202262088
Plus, this is sold by Home Depot, not a third party seller like on Amazon.
Just saying.
Hi Harry, oh thank you! That’s where I bought mine. I paid $99.00 at Home Depot years ago. They didn’t have them for a few years. Linda
I have ours on order. Supposed to receive it on Thursday, May 23. It is something we have needed to better organize our necessary emergency kitchen stuff that we have stored in several places. This will help me make sure I can find those items if needed in a hurry. Thanks.
Hi Harry, great idea, it’s nice to have it all in one place and ready to use or take somewhere. Linda
