So, the plan for dinner tonight is chicken tacos. I bought chicken on sale at HyVee last week and froze it. I also had almost a full pack of taco shells at home. I defrosted the chicken and threw it in my InstantPot with some taco seasoning mix and chicken broth. While that is pressure cooking, I headed to ALDI’s to get the rest of my fixings.

Here at the store, I got some avocados, a package of salad mix for taco salads for me and Joe B, full fat, an extra box of taco shells for leftovers or to just have on-hand, taco seasoning for a future batch of chicken tacos. I got some grape tomatoes and cucumber, bell peppers and snap peas for a little veggie plate to accompany the tacos…I hold out perpetual hope that my kids will one day love to snack on raw veggies.

I had good luck in the produce department so I tried my luck with some other things we needed. Found string cheese because we love string cheese at my house and ALDI’s didn’t have any when we came here last night. I found some blueberries and blackberries, and scored a container of full fat Greek yogurt…for my favorite snack, and so Sara can make some more fruit and yogurt pops tonight. And I picked up a dozen eggs, thinking ahead to the weekend…we are traveling and I’m planning how I’m going to stick to my keto during a powwow weekend.

$32.46 guys!!!!!!!! This would have cost me easily another $20 at another store here in town. Whooooo!!!
