#34 No Groceries

Several days ago I watched this video.  I was talking to Brandon about it later and marveling about our increase in cosumption (we consume twice as much as we did 50 years ago, and our homes are twice as big as in the 1970's....and our stuff still doesn't fit).  He mentioned how it amazed him that people could have pantries full, second refrigerators and deep freezers, and still have to go to the grocery store each week.  So, I decided to challenge myself to a week with no groceries.  Just use what I have.  I did go to the store for fruits and vegetables, cause I didn't want a week of straight crap.  Here's what we ate.  


Day 1- Baked burritos
Day 2- Breakfast for dinner (pancakes, eggs, stripples)
Day 3- Brandon didn't want anything....which means he didn't want leftover soup or anything else I offered him. I had popcorn and apples with cinnamon and sugar.  mmmm
Day 4-We both ate out for girls'/guys' nights
Day 5- Rice, lentils, and veggies for me.  Brandon hates lentils, so he had rice, chili beans, and hot dogs (which he said was really good....I didn't try it.)
Day 6- I don't remember.. I know I cooked, but have no clue what I made.
Day 7- Noodles, veggies, and asparagus for lunch.  Ate out with friends for dinner
Day 8- I know the week was over, but we had breakfast for dinner again.  Waffles and eggs.  I made my first fried egg.  Mmmmm
