Victory and Defeat

I won't be within my goal this week.  That is kind of discouraging. 

But on the plus side I have been steadily using up long-neglected items in my pantry and freezer. 

I won't dwell on my trip to Costco that left me without a penny more in my grocery envelope and made me want to quit only two weeks into my endeavor.  Instead I will pat myself on the back for making hummus from a can of chickpeas (already in my pantry) instead of purchasing pre-made.  

I haven't ACTUALLY made it yet.  But I am going to.  I'll let you know how it turns out!
