Guidelines:
- Eat only from the pantry, freezer, refrigerator
- No eating out
- May purchase milk, eggs, bread and fresh produce
- Begins today with no pre-planning or stockpile shopping
- Cooking for others: may purchase ingredients for donated meals
- May accept dinner invites from friends
End Date: 2/8
Lessons Learned:
- Forced creativity: I have made some of the most delicious (and healthy!) meals just by trying new combinations based on what I had on hand.
- Rationing: I found myself more conscientious about quantities, leftovers, throwing away food. I might end up needing that item in a few weeks!
- Week 3 is tough. Not because I'm running out of food but because I'm getting bored with what I have and am tempted to go buy fries. I'm headed to PA tomorrow to spend time with family and will have to break the "no eating out" rule a few times.
- I am a person of excess. True American.
