Today is day 5 in my 30 Day Food Challenge. I have been doing pretty good in terms of not buying meals out (save for a drink and a cookie at work since I had forgotten my water bottle. The cookie was M&M chip, so no explanation needed for that impulse buy!) and I somehow only managed to buy my coffee creamer. However, I got it plain so I can make a vodka sauce later on this week.
Anyway, for tonight’s meal, I am planning to go super simple. Since I am cleaning out my cabinets, I am making some good old fashioned macaroni and cheese….Velveeta, to be specific. In order to make it a bit healthier, I will also be having fruit on the side. The leftovers will be used for lunches and possibly another dinner, depending on how much is left.
This challenge is getting to be a bit difficult as I run out of staples, but I am looking for creative ways to make it work.
I admit, tonight the biggest challenge is even going home to cook at all because the weather is bad and all I want to do is curl up on my couch with my book and some takeout. However, I am determined not to spend any extra money when I have food at home that needs to be eaten.
Stay tuned for tomorrow night’s challenge meal! The plan right now is to heat up the leftovers in my fridge, but add things to them to make a different meal. Thanks for reading.
