I just remembered that I never wrapped up my Hunger Challenge daily recap. The last day on the hunger challenge was very uneventful, with some quick and easy sandwiches with sautéed ground chicken and spinach for lunch and a meal out of various leftovers for dinner for a total of $6.83. This brings our weekly [...]

Third day on the hunger challenge and I am beginning to appreciate the cause more and more with each passing day.

The challenge is to live off of $7’s worth of food a day (more for families, see below) for an entire week. Why $7? Because it is the maximum [...]
