A Well-Balanced Diet Just got Easier

And a Well-Balanced Diet

Gone are the days of the old food pyramid and the 4 Basic food groups.

 The New Food Pyramid is a tool to educate people to eat a more balanced diet from a greater variety of food portions without counting calories. The USDA has now expanded the four food groups to six groups and expanded the number of servings to meet the calorie needs of most people.

The New Pyramid, or MyPyramid, is color coded. Orange for grains, Green for Vegetables, Red for fruits, blue for dairy, purple for meats and beans, And yellow for fats,oil,sugars, and basics.

 Thrive has incorporated these colors on each label of their products. All your grains are easily recognized by their orange labeling, and your veggie by their green label, your fruits by their red label and so forth.

 Our color coded cans keep your food conveniently organized while ensuring your diet contains the proper amount of balance and variety. When used in conjunction with our Food Rotation Systems, THRIVE foods are continually rotated, guaranteeing your family receives the freshest food possible.

Thrive has made planning, preparing, and storing healthy & nutritious meals for your family more simple than ever before!!

Using The Q to Create Your Home Store

Using the Q is a great way to create your Home Store. It is pay as you go food storage!

We know you are busy! At Shelf Reliance we know you don't have time for last-minute trips to the grocery store. By creating your Home Store you will always have the freshest ingredients when you need them! Your onions will already be chopped. Your hamburger meat will already be browned and ready to go! And you will never run out of milk or eggs again!

The Q is invaluable when setting up and maintaining your Home Store. Setting up your Q takes just a few simple steps!

Use The Thrive Planner

With the Thrive Planner all the stress is taken out of food storage. You want to be using the food in your Home Store, and you need to replenish this stock. With the Planner this is an easy task! Just enter in your families specific information. You input the "duration" of food you'd like to store in your family's Home Store (For Example: 3 months, or 1 year). Next you simply input the age and gender of your family members. Using this information the planner assesses daily calorie needs. The planner also uses the USDA Food pyramid to determine proper food portions. This allows the Thrive Planner to  help you store the proper amounts of dairy, grains, fruits, vegetables, and other foods in your Home Store.

Add & Edit

After you use the Planner to create a well-rounded Home Store Plan, you simply add it to your Q. You can easily add products to your Q, or delete those you know you will not use. It is completely customizable. Keep in mind your family's taste. What are your favorite recipes? Do you frequently run out of milk? Do you use lots on onions? If no one in your family eats olives, you may consider removing them from your Q. Here in the Crawford Home we eat LOTS of Strawberries. I fear one day I will wake up to a house full of family members who have turned into big plump red berries!! So, I have Strawberries as a top priority on my Q. This is your Q, to create your family's Home Store. Customise it any way you would like!! If you have any questions, send me a message! I will be happy to help you create/edit a Q that is perfect for your family!

Set a Budget

Set your monthly budget. Think about how much of your food dollars you would like to reallocate to Thrive. Are you planning on using mostly Thrive meats? Will you be purchasing lots of produce or mostly using the fresh freeze dried produce in your Home Store? Remember, you can adjust your Q budget is needed, or even pause shipments.

Sit Back & Relax

Shelf Reliance will send your products right to your front door, on the day of your choose each month. No need to coupon or compare prices. No waiting in long lines at the grocery store. No last second dashes to the store for forgotten bread or milk. You just sit back, relax, and the food comes to your door! No hassle! And, as an added bonus, with the Q you can earn great rewards for FREE stuff!!

To get started with the Q, pop on over to my website Tawny's Thriving Home and get started. If you have any questions along the way, I am here for ya!

What is a "Home Store"

Imagine walking into your pantry to find your own grocery store, stocked with all of your families favorite foods. Everything is fresh, ready to use, washed & chopped. All the food in this grocery store is free. You just grab and use what you need to prepare your families favorite meals. You have everything at your finger tips. Convenient and ready. All in your home.

This is your home store.

A Home Store is your essentially your grocery store in your pantry. It is your food insurance. In your home store you have stored all the foods your family uses and loves. Your Home store is the solutions to all the "What If" Questions.

With your home store you will never run out of milk or eggs.

In your home store you will have fresh fruits and vegetables always in season and already washed and chopped.

With your home store you never have to worry about sky rocketing food cost.

With your home store you are able to more easily minister to others, because you have food readily available.

With your home store there is Less Martha and More Mary, you are able to spend more time with your family and loved ones because your shopping, planning, and preparing are done.

With your home store, you have food insurance. No matter what happens, Job loss, a recessions, disability, or illness you will have nutritious food for your family.

Your home store contains lots of freeze-dried foods with a long shelf life. Your food store contains canned goods and quick meals you've stocked up on either through THRIVE or couponing.

The easiest way to build up your home store is using the Q. The Q is pay as you go Food Storage. Shelf Reliance helps you determine what and how much of each food you need. The Food Rotation system helps you ensure your foods are easily and properly rotated.

With the Q, everything comes to your door step! No crazy dashes around town for the best prices. No running into your ex at the grocery store. Just sit back and relax and let the food show up on your door step.

Who Stores food & Uses a Home Store?

Probably the most famous example is The Duggar family of 19 Kids and Counting.

Now, If only we could introduce the Duggar's to THRIVE && The Shelf Reliance Food Rotation System!!

You may not be a Duggar, and you may not have 20 in your family to feed. Even the most "average" family with 2.5 Kids in the suburbs can benefit from a home store. It is a great way to save money, save time, & be prepared. Best of all a home store works for everyone & every living situation. From the College Student in the dorm apartment to the busy mom of many in the country. We all need to eat. And we could all benefit from healthier foods that are quick and easy to prepare.

Texas Wild Fires

I have been taking pictures of the terrible disaster happening around us...

These are a few of my snap shots... A bit of beauty in the horrible heart breaking destruction...

Food for thought

In rural america we are fairly accustomed to short power outages last a few hours to all night. But a disaster can bring with it outages that last much longer.



Due to the recent wild fires, many are without power for various reasons. Some have no idea when or for how long power will be restored. These people have no been forced to evacuate due to the wild fires, but they are facing the effects of the disaster in their own homes.

A few things to think about:

- With out power, How will you:

* Cook

* Shower

* Maintain the foods you have stores in your refrigerator and freezer

* Get water for drinking

* Get water to operate your toilet

* Get your news and weather information

* Get information on emergency survival

* Charge cell phones & other communication devices

Freeze Dried foods, such as those we have at my online store, Tawnysthrivinghome.com, are great to keep in your home for everyday use and emergency situations. They can be used by simply adding water. They require no refrigeration or freezing. They taste great and are an excellent source of nutrition. Best of all, most products have a 25 year shelf life, so they can always be kept on hand.

Shelf reliance also sells other emergency needs and camping products, by using the Q you can actually earn points to purchase some of these items for free. These items include portable stoves and cookware for heating foods, emergency radios, solar-powered items, an emergency radio that is solar-powered and can charge your cell phone, and water storage and purifying items, and much more. The website also offers an emergency planner to help you decide what is best for you and your family.

With a well stocked pantry and "home store" you are not only saving time and money but you are also prepared for the things that may come up along the way.

The recent fires have brought up other questions.

What about Road Blocks?


Many local roads have been blocked off as a result of the wild fires.

This can result in several different potential problems for those who do not have a well stocked pantry.

Road blocks often mean supply trucks can not get to local grocery stores to replenish stock. A stock that during a disaster is likely to need stocking more than ever. Supply trucks may also be unable to reach gas stations. You may not be able to easily get in or back out of a particular area.

When you need emergency supplies is often when they are hardest to get too.

In this case, being prepared is key. 

Keeping first aid, emergency, and food supplies on hand is essential. Wal-mart may run out of eggs and milk as customers try to "stock up" as disaster hits and supply trucks are limited. But if you have stocked your 'home store' with Thrive whole egg powder and Thrive instant milk, the shortage will not affect you and your family. In fact, you may be able to help your hungry neighbors around you, because you were prepared. What a wonderful opportunity that would provide!!

In Conclusion,

We hope disaster never hits. But in times such as this, the reality that disaster can happen at any time is all too close to home. It is times like this that help us to remember why we must prepare in order to protect and provide for our families.

Creating a well stocked pantry "home store" provides you convenience & a wonderful money-saving option. This alone makes it a worthy investment. But, in times of trouble, the home store acts as your first line of defence for your family, providing supplies and nutrients and comfort when it may not be available other wise. In this instance your home store goes from a convenient worthy investment to a life saving necessity.

Disaster Close to Home... The importance of being prepared

Wild Fire... The words make you think of forest fire...

But a lack of rain, and dry windy conditions have created the second disaster in the area recently from Wild Fires.

This time the fires are getting MUCH MUCH to close to home. Lots are being evacuated.

We were all discussing packing up a few things and getting ready just in case we need to evacuate. We were trying to decide what we needed to take, and where we would go.

The last few days we have talked to those who DID have to evacuate. Many were having to buy necessities like clothing and food.

I realised, WE NEED A 72 Hour EMERGENCY KIT!



I know the kit is recommended. Both FEMA and the Red Cross recommend you keep emergency supplies on hand. And Both recommend having 72 hours worth of basic supplies ready to go in case of emergency or evacuation. I know we need emergency supplies. We face power outages and the like rather frequently, but Evacuation?!? I always think of that as something that only happens in areas that flood or have earthquakes or hurricanes...

I had never thought of evacuation as a problem we might face. I had never though that we NEED a kit ready at all times for each member of our family. Evacuation is a real threat that we all need to be prepared for, No matter where we live.

We needed something we could "grab & go" with food, water, & the basics.

 But as the fires move closer and closer, and more and more of our friends begin to evacuate, I realise...

WE ALL NEED TO BE PREPARED... 

An emergency can happen at anytime & any place!

Since you do not know where you will be when an emergency occurs, prepare supplies for home, work, and vehicles.

Home	Work	Car
Your disaster supplies kit should contain essential food, water, and supplies for at least three days.Keep this kit in a desig­nated place and have it ready in case you have to leave your home quickly. Make sure all family members know where the kit is kept.Additionally, you may want to consider having supplies for sheltering for up to two weeks.	This kit should be in one container, and ready to "grab and go" in case you are evacuated from your workplace.Make sure you have food and water in the kit. Also, be sure to have com­fortable walking shoes at your workplace in case an evacuation requires walking long distances.	In case you are strand­ed, keep a kit of emer­gency supplies in your car.This kit should contain food, water, first aid supplies, flares, jumper cables, and seasonal supplies.

Here we are praying for rain. Praying for the fire fighters. Praying for those who have been affected and lost everything in these fires. We are trying to come together as a community and support one another... And we are asking everyone to please pray for our area and an end to these devastating fires...

Our family, and many others are trying to prepares incase we are forced to evacuate, in case of emergency.... This reality is a sobering truth as to why we all need to be prepared for the emergencies we hope and pray will never happen...

Using The Q to Create your Home Store

Creating a Home Store with the help of the Q

The Q is essential to reap all the benefits of having a Home Store. Ask yourself if all the points we discussed are important to you.
-Do you want to live a healthier lifestyle?
-Do you want to save time in the kitchen?
-Do you want to spend more time with your family?
-Do you want to save money?
If you answered yes to these questions Shelf Reliance can help you and the best part is that you can do all these things without spending one penny more than you already are!!!
How to make your Home Store work for you:
1. Buy 25% less when you go to the grocery store.
2. Stop buying overpriced, processed foods.
3. Replace one grocery trip with the Q.
4. Instead of picking up take out, use the convenience of Thrive foods.
5. Use your Home Store rather than going to the grocery store for one item.
6. Use Thrive ingredients in your meals or snacks once a day.

I am so excited that Shelf Reliance can help us make these small positive changes to the way we shop and cook! We are revolutionizing the way we run our homes and kitchens! If you continue to invest the money you are saving towards your Q you will see your “home store” grow to the point that you will have everything you need to prepare delicious, nutritious meals at your finger tips. Little by little your family will become more and more self-sufficient.

Get on the Q, incorporate Thrive foods into your life, and take the time and money you save and invest it in your family!!

Why Store Food??

Thrive is one great option for storing food and creating your Home Store. Lets take a look at reasons why you might want to store food.

Why Store Food

Does it seem like everyone is making a big deal about storing food? For many, the issue may seem hardly worth addressing. After all, we live in a country known for being the “land of plenty.” It is sometimes hard to imagine that one day we could find ourselves in a situation that would require us to rely upon the food we have stored in order to provide for our families.

Determining every possible reason to have food storage is an impossible task; however, one need only take a look around our volatile planet to sample some of the many disasters of our time. In the spirit of optimism, more likely reasons to store food may be the least obvious. We never know when unplanned interruptions of life may befall us such as the unexpected loss of income due to a layoff or injury.

Reasons to Rely Upon Food Storage:
• Natural Disaster 
• Terrorism 
• Labor Strike 
• Economic Depression 
• Drought 
• Crop Failure 
• Personal Tragedy 
• Civil Unrest

• Unemployment


What do I Need for Food Storage?

Water.  Although a person can survive as long as two weeks without food, the human body wasn't designed to go long without water. Depending on the conditions and surrounding environment, this could be as little one day. Use any of our water storage containers to hold your water supply.


Food. When it comes to food storage, the first rule to remember is to store the food you eat and eat the food you store. This concept helped us develop what we call our Food Storage Rotation Systems™. Because all food has a shelf life, these systems will help you effectively rotate your food and protect your investment. We also offer the basic foods needed to sustain life. The food you eat during an emergency has a dramatic impact upon the psychological well being of those affected. Use our Food Storage Calculator to determine how much to store for you and your family.

Emergency Preparedness. We offer a range of emergency supplies and 72-hour kits that can be customized to match the needs of your family. Use ourEmergency Planner to determine the items you will need for a specified amount of time.
Decide Today to Start Preparing

How do you start? The thought of preparing your family for an emergency may appear somewhat daunting at first. Our line of products is designed to help your family start with the most essential items needed during an emergency. Have you used any of the following excuses for not having food storage?

• I don’t know where or how to start my food storage. 
• I don’t know what foods to store.
• I’m not sure what to do with 100 lbs. of wheat, rice, and beans. 
• I can’t afford to pay thousands of dollars for boxes of food storage. 
• I have no means of rotating my food storage. 
• I simply don’t have time.

• I don't know how to cook with food storage.

We Make Food Storage Easy!

By becoming a member of Shelf Reliance, we provide you with tips that make food storage easy. Here are some examples of tips that can help you get started:

• Store the foods you like to eat! After all, if all you had to eat was whole wheat and lima beans, would you want to survive anyway? Our THRIVE Kitchen provides simple and easy solutions to cooking with Food Storage.

• Build your storage at your own pace. Buy a few extra of something you find on sale at the store. Spending a few dollars a week at the store is more manageable than buying all of your storage at once. Shelf Reliance has a program called the THRIVE Q, where you can receive monthly shipments of the foods you want, at a price you determine. There is no commitment and you can adjust your monthly budget if your circumstances change.

• Let Shelf Reliance FRS systems rotate your food for you.

The "Home Store" Savings

Your making dinner. Everything is going perfect. You mix your dry ingredients in your bowl for your families favorite Corn Bread. You open the fridge to find... YOUR OUT OF MILK AGAIN! How will you finish dinner? What will the wee ones drink to give them a full tummy before bed? You NEED milk!!




You or your darling husband make a mad dash to the store for the precious commodity. You can run up to the local connivence store, where the milk is not as fresh & almost a dollar more expensive. Or you can go the 10 miles to the local grocery store for your usual brand.

You loose precious time with your family && husband. Dinner is delayed making everyone cranky, especially the youngest members of your family.

You spend extra cash, not allowed in your carefully planned grocery budget.
You spend about $6.00 on extra gas (15 mpg at $3.50/gal about 20 miles round trip to the grocery store). While in the store every delicious candy bar and sweet treat catches your eye. After all, your hungry, it's just before dinner time. You pick up a soda at $1.50 and a candy bar for $1.00. You've already tacked on $8.50 to that $3.75 gal of milk!! That is quite a bit of money wasted!!

COST OF 'MILK RUN'
Fuel. $6.00
Extras. $2.50
+ Milk. $3.75
---------------------------------
$12.25 for 1 gal of milk
+priceless time with your family


What if there were another option? What if you could have delicious flavorful milk waiting for you anytime you needed it?! What is this milk was in expensive and has at 25 year shelf life??

My new Favorite Thing: Thrive

You may recall my desperate attempts at finding powdered eggs while attempting the WWII Ration diet. My search for powdered eggs quickly launched me into several “survivalist” & “preppers” websites. At the time, I didn’t think much of it. But after further research, being prepared and food storage was an avenue I had been looking for without even knowing!! After all, I am a BIG fan of homesteading, self sufficiency, going off grid, ect. I wanted some security and convenience to our food. I want a modern-day Victory Garden, Yes, and a small flock of poultry, a calf, and a few goats. But in unpredictable Texas weather, you need a food & survival “insurance policy”. Some of my friends thought I was crazy. Others thought it Typical Tawny.

One BIG selling point to our home is the large walk in pantry. I adore it. As you know I always love buying in bulk. I love to walk into a well-organized fully stocked pantry. It is like having the grocery store right next to your kitchen. I like to plan & prepare meals, I despise last minute trips to the grocery store!! Without a well planned list, my grocery budget is attacked and seems to never recover. 

For about a week after my “once-a-month” grocery trips, we would eat all the yummy fresh produce I had purchased. We wanted to gobble it all up, because, it spoils, after all. Then for 3 weeks we were back to canned goods, frozen foods, and whatever was left in my pantry.

This system just wasnt working. We needed to find a way to 1. Keep the pantry stocked. & 2. Make the fresh produce last longer.

Then like magic THRIVE!!



Well, not magic. But you get the picture. A friend of mine recommended the blog of one of her friends. She said this blogger was very crazy & like minded to me. And, My neighbor!! So, I clicked link to her blog, and WOW! I knew this neighbor would quickly become my friend. We just had too much in common!!

She was a consultant for a new company called Shelf Reliance/Thrive. It was the thing I had been looking for!!! A food rotation system. A Q to help you create a “Home Store”. Best of all: Freeze Dried Produce!!!

Finally! A way to meet my needs!! And a way to feed my family healthy, fresh, produce! With out all the waste!! Produce that would last all month (and then some!!)!

Then I got worried. What if this freeze dried stuff taste terrible??? Today, while visiting with my new friend, I had a chance to try and taste many of the products. I even brought some fruit and eggs home for the Mr to try! I must say, terrible this food is NOT!! I am absolutely addicted to the yummy raspberries! The tasty pineapples!! The flavorful Strawberries!! And the yogurt bites! SO TASTY! And best of all: A tasty, easy, healthy snack!! I can not say enough about how excited I am about these products!!

If you have never tried freeze dried foods, or have been less than happy with them, PLEASE try these products. They will have you hooked!

I’m so excited, I signed up as a consultant!! I'm the newest member of the Shelf Reliance Team!!
