Off The Starting Blocks

Day 1 -Spaghetti

Day 2 - Pumpkin Soup

We are two days in to our challenge and we are noticing that we do a lot more dishes, though we are assured this is normal. Dave is also saying that it takes more time to get out the door, making sandwiches and the like. In other ways we haven't noticed too many other changes. So far we haven't been hungry, though we certainly look forward to dinner.

Above are our first two dinners. Spaghetti and Pumpkin Soup.  The soup was something of an investment.  We made a big batch on Monday evening and cooked it in the crock pot overnight. It gave  the entire apartment a wonderful smell, but it was a bit disconcerting to wake up and, at first, wonder who had snuck into the apartment to cook for us.  We are hoping to get four meals out of this very hearty soup.

Also, Casey has decided to continue the challenge for a second week!  I'll try to post her menu here tomorrow and include her thoughts after completing her first week.
