The Food Challenge

My roommate Alex and I have a problem. We love going out to eat. Cafe Rio, Burger Supreme, Mountain West Burrito, McDonald's, Wendy's, all of the above...You name it, we love it. However, this lifestyle is not good on the wallet or the waistline, so we decided to create in a little challenge:

No going out to eat for one whole week. Our reward for making it a full week? Going out to eat. I'm easily motivated.

Day 1: Sunday
For the first day of my challenge, I made macaroni and cheese and frozen vegetables. I had no food in my cupboard, ok?

Not my finest work, but I put lemon pepper on the vegetables. That counts for something right?

Day 2: Monday
Still don't have food, so I had chicken noodle soup and a granola bar while I wrote my Anthropology of Mormonism paper. Was I satisfied? No. Did I give in? No.


I actually went grocery shopping last night, so hopefully some more creative meals will be coming soon.
