Well, the Food Stamp Challenge is complete and we made it! Sunday was a looooooooong day when it came to food, though. We were all so tired of leftovers and really just wanted to go to Cracker Barrell or Puleo's. Neither my husband nor I ate breakfast on Sunday, so we were starving by the time we got home for lunch and then the unthinkable happened......the chicken and rice that was supposed to cook for 3 hours took almost 7 hours to cook completely! I got home from church and when I removed the aluminum foil, my heart skipped a beat and my stomach started growling - the rice wasn't even cooked! It was back to leftovers until supper when we ate the chicken and rice. Although we certainly didn't go without food last week, I missed the flexibility of eating whatever we wanted and not having to worry about every dollar spent!

Wrapping-up the Week
Well, I am tired of Manwich and peanut butter sandwiches. I really, really want something chocolate and I would give my right arm for grilled fish with wild rice. Oh, a nice juicy peach would be really great right now too. I have money left in the budget and we certainly haven't gone without, but I miss the extras and the flexability to change my mind altogether and not stick to the overall menu for the week. Tomorrow is the last day of the challenge!
