Monday Menus- Hunger Challenge

Our church is doing a Hunger Challenge all this month.  This week is beans and rice week. Our family is having beans and rice for dinner every night.  The girls and I will be having it for lunch too.  We may add a breakfast in there too, but that will be hard.  The boys are going to have a hard enough time with no snacks and just rice and beans for dinner.  They like rice and beans, but this is a lot. 

"Today, three billion people will eat rice and beans as their only meal. Not because they want to, but because it is the only food available or all they can afford. For this week’s challenge, you and members of your family will join 28% of the people in the world for a “common meal” of rice and beans. "  This is from our church's website.
