Review: Belmont Sea Salt Caramel Gelato

This gelato is delicious!

I tried the caramel flavor, but they also had a strawberry cheesecake flavor.

The caramel flavor has little chocolate covered caramels sprinkled on top.  

Aldi Review: Asiago Batard

I had never heard of a batard, but this bread is delicious.  

You can smell the asiago cheese through the bag.  It is soft, similar to to a baguette.  

It made a wonderful ham and cheese sandwich.  

I hope it becomes a regular item!  Read about those spectacular Simply Nature Vegetable Chips here.  

Review: Sea Queen Salmon with Honey Bourbon Marinade

We tried this salmon and it is excellent.

We grilled it for about 3 minutes on each side.

What should you buy at Aldi?

Definitely the Honey Bourbon Salmon.

Aldi Staple: Simply Nature Vegetable Chips

These are so good!  They have become a staple at our house.  

I am not sure which color is my favorite, but the chips are sweet potato, batata, taro and parsnip.  They are all good.  

Review: Cattlemen's Ranch Filet of Beef

Cattlemen's Ranch Filets come in Teriyaki or Original. We tried the Original flavor.  It is pre-marinaded which makes it easy for a weeknight.  

My husband cooked it.  He got a cast iron skillet very hot.  

Then seared all the sides.

And cooked it until the thermometer read 145 degrees.  

OK, we may have pulled it off a little before 145!  We like it rare.  

I would buy this filet again, and next time we will try the teriyaki.  It was delicious with some twice baked potatoes and some ciabatta bread.

Aldi Review: Specially Selected Arancini Bites

These arancini, or risotto balls, are a fantastic appetizer to keep in your freezer.

Simply heat them in the oven and serve with tomato sauce for dipping.  

I used Simply Nature organic Tomato Basil sauce.  

Why wait for Girl Scout Cookie season?

Samoas are one of my favorite cookies and Benton's Caramel Coconut Fudge Cookies are almost the real thing. A buttery cookie encased with coconut and caramel with just the right amount of chocolate drizzle. Where can you go wrong!?....Oh right, the year long wait. 

Well, Benton's cookies from Aldi can hit the spot and especially at the price of $1.79 a box.
