- I planned on spending about $100 this week but I’m working on a HUGE Pasta Salad video (which will be posted on Friday 3/29 at 9am PST! Yay!!) so I ended up doubling some ingredients, just in case I made some mistakes and had to re-do recipes. I really hope y’all watch the video - I want to see if you’re surprised by the recipes! ☺️

My mother was Scottish and when she made shortbread she pressed it like you did with the granola. She used a second baking pan the same size as the pan she was using to perfectly press down to an equal thickness.
I love that idea!! Thank you for the tip!
FYI - that Watkin’s “Natural” food dye has polysorbate 80 in it (which is linked to cancer, autoimmune issues, & infertility). It’s definitely better than most artificial dyes but couldn’t believe it was in there...I was fooled into it once too until I looked at it super close - so definitely no judgement - just a heads up! 😊
Oh wow! Thank you for mentioning that!
Laura, thank you for the healthier homemade treats I look forward to trying these out during my kids summer break!
You’re welcome!! We devoured them haha. They’re delicious! I hope you love them too!
It all looks so good and so easy you probably can make jam out of some of those blackberries that you got
I definitely want to do that! I love homemade jam 🤤
@@LauraLegge you may want to try sticking some of those strawberry tops in balsamic vinegar make a strawberry balsamic vinegar and even maybe cook it down and make a strawberry balsamic vinegar glaze
@@lorisiedl8733 yum! What a great idea! I’ll have to try that!
@@LauraLegge 😊
I love the idea of making a strawberry vinaigrette. Aldi sells one in the summertime and it's delicious, but I'd love to make a homemade one to have year-round. Thanks for sharing!!
You’re welcome! I’ll be making that recipe this week and then I’ll share it too ☺️ I’m excited to see how it turns out!
The lower sodium bacon is actually the best bacon I've ever had! A full pound for the price is amazing. I eat low sodium and I can have this.
I LOVED it!! I was surprised that it was so good!
Just crumple up the sheet of parchment paper. Smooth it out flat. It will then conform to any pan you put the piece into and stay in place
Thank you so much for the tip! I’ll try that next time!
I make my granola bars similarly but add a cup of rice krispys and a few nut to the mix… so not quite as sweet!😊
Yum! I’ll have to try that! Thank you for the recommendation!
Aldi has THE BEST CHIPS!!!!!
Their tortilla chips are perfect!
NO GUILT!!!
Yes!! They’re SO good!
Strawberry vinegar. Thanks I'll be making that soon.
I hope you love it!
They also sell dates in the produce section by the bananas. A bit $ but really good.
i wish my local Aldi's had these produce prices. Here in the Midwest the produce is pretty expensive there.
Oh wow! I’m so surprised! I wonder why!
@@LauraLeggeI don't have a clue. The blackberries were $1.59 a package when I went in yesterday.
@thatway7831 yes! Ours are $1.89 here in NE Florida.
🎉🎉🎉
😍
So many fun recipes! I haven’t made date balls in year, definitely need to give it a go again. You’re also reminding me I need to make more sunflower seed butter.
Thank you so much! ☺️ I’ll have try to making sunflower seed butter! Is it the same process as peanut butter?
@@LauraLegge Yes, same process. Just blitz them. They break down, get gritty, sometimes a little oily and then come together.
@@MessyPaperCrafter perfect!! Thank you!
The chocolate energy balls look so delicious 😋
Thank you so much!
Great Job 👏
Thank you ☺️
I love how you never really pick the first item, you pick from the middle 😅.
Dates, almond butter and coconut is yummy adult treat... My kiddo doesn’t like it though.
Haha yes it’s a habit 😅 I’ll have to try the dates with almond butter and coconut! It sounds delicious! Thank you for the suggestion!
Your Aldi’s prices are low compared to ours in Connecticut
Seriously. I live in RI and the prices are much higher.
Oh wow! That’s wild!
Same in Louisiana . I no longer shop there because it’s so expensive . Walmart is cheaper for me .
Our prices here in Southeast Wisconsin are much higher as well unfortunately
hiiiiiiiiii
