I am not super woman!!

Contrary to what some people who really know me think, I am not super woman!! I make mistakes, and sometimes fall on my face.

I am attempting the March Food Storage Challenge over at http/livingmydreamlifeonthefarm.wordpress.com/, let me just say that I have already blown it!

The idea behind this is to eat only what is in your food storage for a month, I had very good intentions last Wednesday when I read about this, I have decent food storage and I do produce most of my food, so I figured I would give it a try.

Thursday was great, most of Friday good, but Friday night is when I blew it... my kids were at their older sisters for the night and my honey wanted a date night and dinner out. Let me just say time to ourselves without kids, is pretty slim, and yes we could have stayed home, but then I just start working and he watches t.v. so I caved ( I can be a push-over sometimes) and we went out. I could have omitted this in my blog, but then I wouldn't be accepting of how hard this challenge can be.

So now my rules--eating out of food storage as much as possible without my family revolting against me. It is not a stretch for me not to go to the store, I hate shopping! My goal is to see
how long I can go without shopping. I didn't know about this challenge before last Wednesday, so I know there are areas of my food storage that is lacking.

My other rule, this challenge does not include beverages, if I have to cook and scrounge for food, I will need a glass of wine while I am doing it, and my honey will need a beer to cope with my crazy ideas!! LOL But I will be doing more research on homemade wine, it is on my to-do list.

Obviously I am not as disciplined as some of the other bloggers, but I will try my hardest to eat what I have stored. I will keep everyone posted about my success and failure during this month.

So far this is what we have eaten:

March 1-- Breakfast: Smoothies Dinner: Left-over potato soup
March 2-- Breakfast: Smoothies for kids, bowl of cereal for me Dinner: eat-out
March 3-- Breakfast burritos, with farm eggs & canned potatoes Dinner will be chili with our beef and tomatoes in the crockpot to go to oldest daughters get together, also taking pepper jelly from my bff and chips (last bag from food storage)

I make my honey's lunches, I eat whatever I can scrounge and the kids eat at school.

So far this is where I am at, wish me luck as the month progresses...
