Hi !! Christie G here. Ā Iā€™m a little behind in starting my challenge due to a family emergency followed by the not-so-fun sinus funk. Ā While I am Ā completely aware that emergencies and the effects of a sick household donā€™t change the fact that over 4.5 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits to nourish themselves, I wanted to give this challenge the full attention it deserves.Ā 
The above picture is a portion of the foods that I recently bought and Iā€™ll be using as part of my challenge. Ā Not included in this picture are items that I already have in my kitchen. Ā For those items that I didnā€™t purchase but that Iā€™ll be using the rest of this week, I found currently pricing to include in my final project cost analysis. Ā 
For each of my following three days of my abbreviated SNAP Challenge, Iā€™ll provide pictures and the overall cost of my meals for the day as well as my feelings as they pertain to the challenge.Ā 
So letā€™s SNAP to it and get this challenge going!!Ā

#LiveTheWage: Rep. Tim Ryan takes minimum wageĀ challenge
New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/livethewage-rep-tim-ryan-takes-minimum-wage-challenge/
#LiveTheWage: Rep. Tim Ryan takes minimum wageĀ challenge
http://twitter.com/#!/RepTimRyan/status/492372333114699776
Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan and his wife are spending this week taking the minimum wage challenge. The $77 each comes from a $290 a week wage (at $7.25 an hour) less $176.48 for housing and $35.06 for taxes.
http://twitter.com/#!/RepTimRyan/status/492424316936814592
They made it to Day 2.
http://twitter.com/#!/RepTimRyan/status/492838927070679040
For dinner last night, I bought two cans of sardines and a box of rice crackers (Cost $7). I like sardines so this was a good dinner. I picked them up at a market on Capitol Hill, so they were a little more expensive than usual, sardines are a just over a dollar in Ohio and in DC they were over two dollars each. Andrea and the kids had rice pasta (Cost $4) last night with vodka sauce (Cost $3) for dinner last night. We try to watch our gluten intake so we usually chose rice pasta; however, it is a little bit more expensive.
The kids all had pancakes for breakfast yesterday (Cost $2) and cereal for breakfast today (Cost $3.50). For lunch, the crew back in Ohio finished the leftover pizza, deviled eggs and watermelon from yesterdayā€™s party. I was still in Washington, so I grabbed a piece of pizza for lunch at the cafeteria on Capitol Hill (Cost $3). It was not a good use of money, but I was starving and rationalized it because I didnā€™t have breakfast.
Andrea had $6 coupon, so she was able to buy milk and one cleaning supply from CVS. Then she signed up for another ($3) coupon by giving CVS her email, which means we have an extra $3 to spend over the next couple of days.
Today, I drove back to Ohio from Washington and didnā€™t have any food, so I picked up a whopper from Burger King (Cost $5). This was a terrible investment, honestly I canā€™t remember the last fast food hamburger I ate, but I must admit it was pretty good. I also bought a cup of coffee for the road (Cost $2).
Tonight Iā€™m gonna spend some time with the family, so we will tally all of the expenses up tomorrow and let you know what we have left. We have plans to go to the Howland farmerā€™s market tomorrow to see what we can get for the rest of the challenge. Stay tunedā€¦.
On a side note, as Iā€™ve said in every interview I have given, we are not going to get anywhere close to the real challenges that families face on tight incomes or the daily stressors that are constant and at times overwhelming. My wife and I already have a better understanding of these challenges and hope that our sharing can bring awareness to the public in order to bring about the fundamental changes we want to see in our country.
Will the Ryans make it throughĀ Day 3? Maybe itā€™s time to sign up for theĀ Ohio Food Assistance Program. Stay tuned ā€¦

#SNAPChallenge 26 Lawmakers Live Off Food Stamps To Protest Republican Cuts Ā 
Members of Congress are living off food stamps for a week to protest Republican cuts. Itā€™s a challenge for them, but GOP cuts would hurt millions of everyday Americans.
Other officials have attempted to live off of food stamps for short periods of time. Newark Mayor Cory Booker took the challenge earlier this year. WhenPhoenix Mayor Greg Stanton participated in the challenge, he found he was ā€œtiredā€ and it was ā€œhard to focusā€ by day four. ā€œIf I were doing this with no end in sight, I probably wouldnā€™t be so pleasant,ā€ he wrote. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), who recently participated in the SNAP challenge, found ā€œIā€™m hungry for five daysā€¦I lost six pounds in four days.ā€
Compare these reactions to the arguments made by conservatives, who pan food stamps as government dependency. ā€œUnfortunately, the rapid growth of this program has only increased dependency on government and added to our federal deficit,ā€ 25 Republican members wrote in a letter Tuesday. Last Thanksgiving, a Fox News host joked she would look ā€œfabulousā€ on a food stamp diet.
I want a reality tv show where politicians have to live in poverty for a month. They have to live in Government housing, shop with food stamps, and get only a limited amount of money for clothes. Because here, they still have all their trappings, lilke nice cars and thousand dollar suits. I want them in Walmart jeans trying to determine if they can afford a carton of milk.
fuck-me-barnes
Give them a full calendar year. I want to see them confident in January, and sometime around June choking back tears at the Safeway because they are tired, so tired, of eating 25 cent cup noodles, eyeing other peoplesā€™ full grocery carts with a dull bewilderment. Let me see them despair because they have a persistent nagging cough that wonā€™t go away and might be turning into pneumonia but the minute clinic is $60, which might as well be as six million dollars, either way they ainā€™t got it to spare - and that doesnā€™t count the cost of prescriptions. Let me hear them tell people about the muscle cramps they get at night due to eating non-nutritious garbage for months, the weakness from persistent hunger.
Let them know the shame and frustration of only owning one pair of cheap polyester pants for work and one pair of thrift-store jeans, and both persistently have ripped crotches and seams coming undone, no matter how many times they get sewn back up.
Let the women know the particular sort of despair that comes once a month when you canā€™t afford even the cheapest pads or tampons.
Let them understand the frustration of being charged a $35 fee for a $2 overdraft. Let them watch as the bank holds charges from different days in ā€œpendingā€ till they all come through on the same day, and the bank charges them four times for a single overdraft because ā€œthe charges all cleared at the same timeā€.
I want them to know the particular pain of having to decide between food for the week, or transportation costs to and from work. You canā€™t have both. Choose wisely.
You do not truly understand poverty until youā€™ve lived it and a month isnā€™t enough to encompass it. Not even close.

Indulgences
After a stressful day, I bought a box of chocolate covered pretzels. They cost almost $4. I started to think about how that was almost a whole day expense for food and I canā€™t move past it. Buying one thing for enjoyment could mean that I starve another day for that decision. After eating the chocolate, I realized it wasnā€™t worth it --Lexi

Hey everybody! Apologies for missing a post yesterday. This post will cover Days 4 and 5. On Day 4, I finished the last of my chicken penne leftovers and had more yogurt with bananas and honey for breakfast. On Day 5, I cooked the beautiful mess you see above. I basically took everything I hadn't used yet and cooked it in a pan. Here's what went down:
Chopped chicken breast, browned in olive oil (seasoned with salt, pepper, or whatever you want)
Chopped mushrooms
1 can of black beans, mostly drained
1 can of mixed vegetables, drained (carrots, green beans, Lima beans, potatoes)
A crazy amount of cumin. Seriously, go nuts.
I seasoned and browned the chicken in olive oil, added the mushrooms and cooked for a few minutes, then threw in the beans and veggies. Added the cumin and let it cook for a while over medium heat. Served over whole grain rice.
Super simple! The mushrooms were my favorite part. Cumin pairs really well with black beans and mushrooms. You could easily make this vegetarian/vegan by leaving out the chicken. Honestly, it doesn't even need the chicken but I needed to use it up!
Today is the last day of my challenge! I'm munching on leftover Cumin Explosion Stew for lunch and plan to have it for dinner, too. My next post will be the last regarding this week's Challenge. Thank you for reading!
