Come into ALDI with me see what I bought for a week of groceries for my family of 5. I always use items from my pantry/freezer as well. I share my dinner meal plan at the end. Also, I do NOT buy my groceries exclusively at ALDI, but they're the first place I try and my favorite to shop at.
Recipes: Old Fashioned Noodle Soup: This is a family favorite and a family recipe:
1 large white onion, diced 12 oz Salt Pork 7-8 large russet potatoes, diced 8 cups water (6 to begin, 2 later)
Brown diced salt pork, add in onion. Sautee together. When onions are translucent, add in 6 cups water and the potatoes. Heavily pepper (to taste). Simmer for an hour or two. I love to make this portion in the morning and let is go for a long time! Eventually (at least after an hour) bring to a boil. While its starting to boil prepare noodles.
Noodles: 2 ½ cups all purpose flour 3 large eggs Pulse in food processor, add water to get to pliable consistency (amount will depend on climate in kitchen…. I usually do a slow drizzle from a tablespoon)
Roll onto floured surface, cut into preferred sizes (these will expand). Drop into boiling soup, boil for a bit and then reduce heat and simmer until ready to eat. I prefer to do this as long as possible too. Low and slow wins for this recipe. Salt at the end (I usually add roughly ½-1 tsp)
Black Bean Soup (I don't usually follow a recipe, but something like this): https://pin.it/6Hd2MF0ex Crusty Bread: https://pin.it/UXzqyQ6Mj Roasted Cauliflower: https://pin.it/1wHm5tasb Alfredo: https://pin.it/5OtWk7566 Greek Chicken (I use this recipe's marinade, but make it with just chicken breast and red onion): https://pin.it/7HFwIPM0D Greek Bowls: have a spread of rice, cauliflower rice, Greek dressing, beets, feta, kalamata olives, red onion, chicken, kale, hummus, grape tomatoes, tzatziki (I completely forgot this!!) naan bread - everyone makes plate/bowls with desired toppings. For me that's everything!
