aldi: budget cooking made fun

You just never know what you are going to find when you walk into an Aldi. It is almost like a treasure hunt. I've found awesome cheese, imported from Ireland. They always carry amazing German chocolate. Last week I picked up four packages of gnocchi for what one package costs at the 'regular' grocery store. They have their staples, but those oddball, seasonal items make cooking on a budget fun. Yesterday we had a very tasty mushroom risotto with our roasted chicken and Italian spinach. Yum.

Up for today is scalloped potatoes and ham. Not my favorite meal, but the kids and hubby enjoy it.
