As we were brainstorming, one thing I noticed was the abundance of food that we have around our home. Last year, missionaries from Haiti visited our church and we had them over for dinner. One of the things they mentioned that really hit home was that they do not have food! They could not believe that you could go into a grocery store and that food was on the shelves. They do not have any food that is in excess and not being used.
As I looked around my pantry, fridge, freezer, and kitchen, I realized how much excess food we have truly have in our home! We do not want to live in excess, and therefore, our first challenge is to not buy anything from the grocery store except for fresh fruits and vegetables. It will be quite a challenge, but I know that we can do it together!
Our journey begins tomorrow, April 19th, 2010...and we did not go out and buy a bunch of groceries this weekend :) Some of our goals for this challenge include: Save money (who doesn't want to do that in this economy?), spend more time together cooking, and be creative in the kitchen (I often get into a rut!). This is going to be a great challenge!
