I never realized how much crap I used to eat until having to regulate it down to the minutiae. Turns out, I used to drink a lot more sugary drinks and prepackaged sweets. How do I know? Because every time I went into a store today I starting eying the soda cooler and candy section. Who knew I was a Snickers fan?I had a pre-arranged Magic Show and dinner planned for Thursday but because Husband is working on a deadline, had to cancel. I guess it's for the best, the magic show was $20 per person and if the magician was no good I'd have a hard time claiming that the entertainment was worth $17. Lol.
Honestly though, the idea behind this project is not to be impossibly restrictive, it's to prove that if anyone chose to live off $3 a day, healthily, they would be able to do so. I hope that at the end of this project I will continue to make many of the recipes I develop and properly portion them to avoid weight gain after the project. I hope too, Dear Reader, that you'll enjoy these recipes and find them not just budgetary edible, but easy to make and eat.
