The Food Challenge

I am so peeved. I bought a brand new Kenmore Fridge 2 years ago and it is broken. Of course I did not buy the extended warranty. Silly me for thinking it would last a while. I remember Refrigerators lasting a good while, at the very least 7 years, right? They just don't make things the way they used to. Fixing it costs about what I paid for it. Needless to say, I am not getting it fixed. I am moving within the next few weeks and more than likely my new apartment will have a Fridge, so I made the decision to go without.

Now the challenge is eating healthy and not spending a fortune. So far I have been hitting the market every couple of days or so. I've found a bag of salad greens can last a good 24 hours. Today I bought spinach, tomatoes, blackberries, watermelon and some chicken from El Pollo Loco. For lunch I had 2 pieces of chicken, rice (homemade brown rice), and a spinach-tomato salad with balsamic dressing (homemade) and watermelon. I still have some salad and fruit left. As a matter of fact, I just had some blackberries for my mid-afternoon snack today with a peanut butter sandwich. Tonight, it's going to be black beans, brown rice, salad and watermelon.
