Re Kcups, I’m sure you are aware that there are some wonderful brands of reuseable Kcups about. Amazon.com has a wide variety and I’m certain you would find one to fit your particular machine. On a tangent, I use mine for hot chocolate, hot malted milk, mocha drinks as well as coffee and other concoctions.
I’m sure you could buy a couple of ounces of in-store ground coffee to sample, or write for samples, until you hit upon the flavor of your Organic Columbian coffee you so love for a fraction of the price you have now. Perhaps you could even buy it in bulk and store it in the freezer until required and thus save even more, you could even invest in a coffee grinder and grind it fresh after a few moments reheating in the oven when something else is in there cooking. It really does pick up the flavor from the original roasting!
When you shop at Aldi do you find that the cashier throw your items in the cart? I’ve had yogurt and fruit I got for my mother damaged and smashed. Has anyone else had that problem?
Do your kids not eat snacks? I’m trying to picture any of us eating cheese and crackers with fruit for lunch and not be starving in an hour. I was just curious!!
Yes, we do eat snacks. 🙂 I try and always have granola bars on hand as well as applesauce – my 5 year old always prefers applesauce over anything else for a snack. 🙂 Most days it’s just something simple like that, but if I have muffins on hand we will do those or sometimes I’ll make fruit smoothies. ~Gretchen
Thanks, Gretchen! It does :-). Way to go!
This looks great! Awesome chicken breast price. How many people does your menu plan feed?
Thanks! I was excited about the chicken price, too! This menu feeds 3 people. I hope that helps! – Gretchen
