When the power goes out, dinner still needs to happen.

So does breakfast. And snacks. And keeping your family calm, fed, and grounded.

The Power Outage Cookbook isn’t about survival rations or extreme scenarios. It’s a practical, family-focused guide to eating well when electricity is gone using familiar foods, simple tools, and flexible recipes that actually work under real-world conditions.

Inside, you’ll find 40+ power-outage-friendly recipes organized by breakfast, lunch, dinner, and kid-approved snacks. Each recipe is designed as a template, not a rigid formula, so you can adapt to what you have on hand, the fuel available, and how long the outage lasts. No specialty ingredients. No complicated steps. Just food that keeps life feeling normal.

This book also teaches a clear food hierarchy for outages- what to eat first to reduce waste, what to save for later, and how to stretch pantry staples over time. You’ll learn why breakfast sets the tone for the day, how lunch can be flexible without stress, why dinner matters more than ever, and how snacks quietly keep morale from unraveling, especially with kids.

Whether you’re facing a short blackout or a longer disruption, this cookbook helps you:

• Reduce food waste
• Conserve fuel and effort
• Keep routines intact
• Lower stress for adults and children alike

Preparedness doesn’t have to feel grim or extreme. Sometimes it starts with using what’s in the fridge, enjoying the ice cream first, and sitting down to a warm meal, even by lantern light.

If you want a power-out plan that feels calm, capable, and human, this book belongs on your shelf.
