It’s Sunday again, time for a new menu. This week eating is going to be difficult. From Monday April 29 – Friday May 3 I am eating on only $1.50 a day for the Live Below the Line campaign to bring awareness to the extreme poverty felt by people around the world.
I have been talking to my two oldest about it and I think they are interested in joining in as well. I’m hesitant about allowing them, but I think they can handle it. I’ll just monitor them closely to make sure it doesn’t have a negative affect on them. It is after all for just 5 days. It could be a lesson well learned.
So $1.50 a day is difficult, but it’s made even more difficult by having to feed the rest of the family normally. Cooking food for them that I can’t eat was probably one of the hardest parts about last year. I’m hoping this year is better since I know what to expect.
So lets get on with this. Grab my button below, check out what’s cooking in my kitchen, and link up your own menu at the bottom. Feel free to join me in the Live Below the Line campaign or donate if the mood strikes you.

Monica’s Menu For April 28 – May 4
Sunday: Grilled chicken breast with egg noodles and carrots.
Monday: Ziti and meatballs. I’ll just eat the ziti (wouldn’t eat meatballs anyways).
Tuesday: Hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill with pasta salad (I’ll eat a hot dog).
Wednesday: Chicken alfredo. I’ll eat just the pasta.
Thursday: Breakfast for dinner again, it’s cheap and hubby’s working.
Friday: Oven fried chicken with rice pilaff and corn. I can eat small portions of this because the chicken is only 99 cents a pound.
Saturday: Chicken parmigiana. It’s my favorite meal and I’ll get to eat normally again.
This is going to be a tough week. For the most part I’ll really only get to eat one meal a day and drink plenty of water. Will you join me and Live Below the Line?
