Ringing in the New Year on A New Budget

So this is our 2nd day of 31 Days of Buying Nothing. We are headed to my Sister In-Laws home for dinner (pizza) and fireworks this evening. I was stressing last night because we have committed to buying nothing but necessities and I love to wow at dinner parties and spoil others with my food, how was I going to pull this off and not feel like a slacker? So after racking my brain and cabinets I decided to make 2 big batches of homemade breadsticks with marinara dipping sauce and garlic butter sauce. Who doesn't love homemade bread and breadsticks are the perfect companion for pizza. My SIL was thrilled and my husband is just over the moon, he is a bread a-holic in the worse way. Thank the Lord for flour, yeast and water and we only had to spend $1.26 on crushed tomatoes for the marinara sauce.
