The Dinner We Didn't Eat and the Dinner We Did Eat

Last night we were planning on going out to eat since it would be our last chance for a whole year. To be perfectly honest much of the money we waste is on food and that's why I made this a part of our family compact. However, my mom invited us over to enjoy New Year's Eve dinner with her and my dad and the rest of my sibs that live at home. How could we pass that up? Nothing could be better than ringing in the New Year with those we love. So we traded in fast food for a delicious, healthy meal of black bean soup. I'd say that we've started out our year on the right foot.
