Snack Time With Michelle

Hi friends! Todays snack is the Cream Cheese Buffalo Dip by Happy Farms. I really liked it and thought it had just the right amount of kick to it. I dipped the bold and zesty pub pretzels in it but it was also good with regular tortilla chips and crackers. It might even be good on a bagel 🤔
Happy Snacking!

Hi friends! Advent Calendar season is officially in session. Who’s else is excited??? What Aldi Advent calendars did you score this year?

Happy Thanksgiving! Let’s talk about these chips. So, first of all, I love beer and I also love chips, but Beer chips?? We were skeptical to say the least. The fact that they were .99 also didn’t make me feel better about them being any good. However, to our surprise, they were actually pretty dang good. They slightly taste like beer on the back end but overall they are seasoned well. It’s a weird vibe with these. I want to dislike them but I can’t stop eating them. Are they the best? No. Would I buy them again? For sure. Happy snacking friends!

Hi friends!! Tonight we tried the frozen Crab Rangoon. For a frozen appetizer it isn’t awful but if you are really craving a good Crab Rangoon I think these miss the mark. The filling is a little lack luster in flavor but the sweet chili sauce they come with it quite delicious. Overall all I would say they were average. Wold probably buy them again, but not rushing out anytime soon. Ingredients and calories in comments. Happy Snacking!

Heading to Friendsgiving tonight and Kayla made an all ALDI charcuterie board to take along. They have the best selection of cheese and we have yet to meet a cheese we didn’t like. Until tonight... this masquerade mango cheese was gross. Waaaayyy too much ginger, so it didn’t make the cut and ended up in the trash. Do not recommend, unless you love ginger, a lot.

🚨 Hi friends!! New snack alert!! 🚨

Truffle Dip! It’s a mix of cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and Parmesan cheese with truffle oil and it is amazing! Creamy with little chunks of cheese throughout and the truffle oil is just the right amount and doesn’t overpower the other flavors. Mixed with the pub pretzel (previously reviewed and still delicious) the snack is over the top. If you love cheese and truffle then go get this dip. Have you tried it already? What was your favorite thing to dip in it??

Bonus: It’s Arlo approved and he can’t get enough of it.

Happy Snacking!

It is not a snack post but we are doing great over here. Hope to get back at this soon. Anyway… How it started vs. How it’s going

Good morning! Arlo can now feed himself the Aldi fruit pouches and is quite proud (as he should be). He loves them and gobbles them up quick. This mornings pouch was the apple banana and apricot with rice. Definitely Arlo approved.

Happy Friday snack lovers!! These simply nature chocolate chip soft baked mini cookies are delicious! Gluten-free, dairy free, and Vegan! They are little, soft, yummy, and packed with flavor! Go sn**ch some up, you won’t regret it.

Happy Tuesday! Trying out the medium roast breakfast blend coffee and it’s a hit. It’s described as a blend with sweet cocoa, crisp dried fruits and spices. I’d say it’s spot on. Tastes even better in my mug I received for Mother’s Day. Enjoy your day friends!

Im back with a snack update from Arlo!! It’s been a busy few months watching this guy grow and learn. He turns seven months this weekend and I can’t believe how fast it has gone. His first Aldi snack was the Apple Flavor Rice Rusks and as you can see he approved! What are some of your highly recommended baby snacks from Aldi??

Move over Larabar the Elevation Bars from Millville are giving you a run for your money. These are delicious and less expensive. Gluten free too! If your looking for a tasty healthier snack these are a must. Nutrition information in comments. Happy Snacking!

Happy Sunday!! These peanut butter coconut crisps in the chocolate chip flavor are what’s up. I opened them an ate the whole bag 😂 They’re light and crispy with excellent flavor and the coconut doesn’t overpower. Highly recommend.

Happy New Year! So far I am not off to a great start in the snack department for 2021. I love Butternut Squash but I was not impressed with these Butternut Squash crackers. They don’t have a good flavor and leave a very weird aftertaste in your mouth. Hopefully my next snack will be better.

What’s your favorite Aldi find of 2021 so far???

Merry Christmas from our family to yours 🎄

So I was hesitant to try this because I really disliked the Street Corn dip made by this brand. On a recommendation from I gave it a go. It is delicious! I will say, it does have a little kick to it so if you don’t like spicy it might not be for you. Overall a great game day snack! Go Lions!!

Kayla found the 1,000 day aged Gouda at our store today. I have been wanting to try it but can never find it. Arlo is not thrilled with my enthusiasm but y’all this cheese is amazing!

So today I turned the big 4-0!! I can’t believe I’m actually 40, but here we are lol. Anyway, for my birthday dinner tonight we had an ALDI USA feast and I have to tell you, it was all terrific! Brussel sprouts cooked in the Aldi air fryer and topped with balsamic glaze and Parmesan cheese. Crab Legs, Scallops and Mashed potato entree and for dessert, a homemade pumpkin bread pudding made with the pumpkin filling and vanilla brioche bread and served with the 1/2 fat sea salt caramel ice cream. Plus, an Aldi Lager Beer to wash it all down. It was delicious! Highly recommend any and all of these things. Now to sit and watch The Bachelorette and enjoy a few of these truffles Kayla got me for my birthday as well. I hope you all had a great day!! I’m stuffed...

Edit: Thank you all for the birthday love! I was trying to thank you individually, but FB blocked me from commenting on my own post for spamming 😂 😂 😂. Anyway, I truly appreciate all the love!!

So I found these hard candies awhile back and was immediately taken back to my childhood. My grandma used to ALWAYS have these at her house. I was so excited when I saw them. Turns out they still taste as good as I remember them. Who else remembers these from their childhood??

You guys!!!!! I am always so excited about all the different cheeses they have but we have officially found a gem! If you are a fan of aged cheddar go get some! If you aren’t, you should be! I have had plenty of aged cheeses from specialty stores and you will pay a pretty penny for them. This one is a strong competitor and priced way better.

So I can’t make up my mind on these. hated them. I’m on the fence. They are crunchy and have flavor I just can’t decide if I actually like the flavor. Have you tried these? What were your thoughts??

Happy Saturday! When I’m not snacking, I’m pretty good at making Breakfast Scrambles. All ingredients are from Aldi, including the Champagne for the Mimosas. Brunch is my absolute favorite meal and it has become a Saturday quarantine staple at our house. What’s your favorite brunch foods??

Arlo is enjoying his first Thanksgiving. Even though it isn’t a traditional Thanksgiving this year, I hope you all are well and enjoying this day. From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

Hey snack friends! Have you tried these?? They are delicious and Gluten Free. They are also only 110 calories per serving (which is 16 pieces). I also recommend the cheddar version which are just as good. Which do you prefer? Cheddar or caramel?

Today’s snack is a homemade snack with all ingredients purchased at
Celery filled with cream cheese and topped with everything bagel seasoning! I am not normally a fan or raw celery, but serving it this way is a win in my book!
What’s your favorite way to eat celery???

So I am typically not a huge fan of nuts, but when I saw these I liked the “simple” ingredients so I thought what the heck. Turns out they are delicious. They have the perfect amount of hunny added to give it just the right amount of sweetness and make for a great grab and go snack. I believe they also come in a peanut, cashews and almond variety. Downside: there are only four bars in each box. Happy Snacking!
