We have a wood stove for our main source of heat and propane as a backup, a gas generator that runs just our two fridges, boiler and gadgets (but not kitchen gadgets or our large washer). We have a propane stove/oven that runs on the generator as well. All in all the only difference for us is hotspotting our phones to our TVs. I’m only annoyed because while I can watch TV I can not for the life of me get any sort of usable internet via hotspot/tether on my work computer. Our internet has been out since Friday. Power came back Saturday night.
As far as food: I keep sourdough starter in the fridge and can make bread/pasta from scratch easily. We keep lots of pantry staples like flour/sugar/salt/grains and frozen veggies. I also have lots of cast iron cookware so if I had to I could cook on a fire outside.
