Challenge Completed

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!
