Day 1: The Genesis

Oh baby its cold outside and I have nothing in the fridge to eat.  I really need to go to the produce market to purchase some fresh produce.  The cupboard is bare, I mean really bare, plus I have not shopped for food in about a week.  I have been known to create food from "nothing in the fridge".  I have been challenged by my kids (my husband is not positive about this experiment, but then again he gets to go out to eat during lunch so he's not overly concerned!) to go for an entire month without going to the grocery store to see what I can create.  
The only fresh produce I have in the fridge as we speak is 2 pear, 5 radishes, 2 lemons and 2 limes.  I also have about a hand of fresh ginger and about 7 Meyer lemons on a lemon tree in my family room!

I am going to take pictures of my freezer, refrigerator and pantry so you can see what type of foods I am going to create.  I am going to try and feed my family 2 square meals each day for a minimum of 1 week and maximum 1 month. Oh and by the way we are also following weight watchers and counting flex points so this will be an additional challenge. Wish me luck!

It will be interesting to know how you will be able to feed 4. I should be able to save some money. I am just 1 person

You have a lemon tree growing indoors? Do you move it outdoors in the spring? I would love to have a lemon tree, what do you need to be successful?
