Start of Challenge: Dinner #1

Will not food shop for 40 days. Full blown. But I am able to buy essentials, milk, bread, eggs, water... you know the items you get when a snow storm is coming. $25 maximum...my rules but approved by God so there are boundaries.

Okay easy, I got this....but wait 1st night and I have company coming. Oh great...that is going to take up food. But the company are my nieces. I haven't seen my one in a while and I want to see her...I miss her. Okay think...the old self would make a whole dinner plan up and run to the market and prepare..cost apprx. $50 easy..it is my nieces! 4 people...but NO...new plan, new life, new way...So I inventory the freezer, fridge (top to bottom) and pantry...I found things I never knew I had. I then asked God to forgive me of all my waste. I was so ashamed but He said it is done and do this so I went in to my creative mode and served a fab dinner and fed 4 people without a problem.
