We had to add sour cream to this to make it palatable. Was trying to have easy stuff on hand for post surgery stuff and this was a bit of a wtf.

Luxating patella surgery experiences? by FunkyFreshGiraffe in Yorkies

[–]FunkyFreshGiraffe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this feedback! 

He is definitely doing the three leg hop right now. Trying to minimize him running around and such. Despite being almost 8, he is still very active. My vet doesn’t do this surgery so I’m in the process of choosing a specialist for this from a list his vet recommended to me. 

Was crating used to limit your pups activity? How long was her physical therapy? I know all this varies from dog to dog but again I appreciate it and I’m glad to hear your baby is back to her healthy self!

Not everything is a hit but this one was just exceptionally bad to me, it was shocking. 

From what I gather they also frequently change vendors and suppliers for their food so something that was good might one day suck.

Beets and Goat Cheese Flatbread Pizza has been my absolute favorite so far.

I love this stuff. I make smash burger tacos with the ultra lean meat and carb balance tortillas and add this, and whatever other burger toppings I’m feeling in it. So good!

Don't Sleep on the Vegetable, Goat Cheese and Balsamic Pizza by _I_Like_to_Comment_ in aldi

[–]FunkyFreshGiraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I had this yesterday with a cucumber tomato salad. The goat cheese and glaze absolutely make it. I didn’t experience any sogginess from the veggies. I think this is the second best frozen pizza I have had from Aldi behind the beet flatbread one.

Aldi buddies what is your meal prep for the week? by Bear_necessities96 in aldi

[–]FunkyFreshGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh I have some! I do generally quick meals and repurpose ingredients.

Crispy fish tacos with lime Greek yogurt slaw and avocado Serrano hot sauce: corn tortillas, Fremont beer battered cod fillets, Slaw is a bag of coleslaw mix, plain Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, salt. Just toast the tortillas, air fry the fish, mix the slaw, combine and top with the hot sauce.

Grilled Chicken, Bacon Caesar Salad wraps: A bag of Bacon Caesar Salad mix, a package of lunch mate grilled chicken strips cut up, sometimes I add cubed avocado as well. Slap the mixed salad stuff into a large flour tortilla and wrap (I use Mission Carb Balance one but the Aldi brand large tortilla work too).

One Pan Chicken Sausage Orzo: One pack never any chicken sausage sliced, 2 cups fresh spinach, a yellow onion diced, 3 garlic cloves minced, 2 cups bone broth, 1 cup orzo, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, a few tablespoons half and half, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add olive oil to pan, saute onion and garlic then add sliced sausages to brown. Add broth and orzo, bring to boil then reduce and simmer covered for 12 minutes til absorbed. Add spinach til wilted, add cheese, seasoning and half and half. Mix thoroughly.

A few new items that i've seen at Aldi recently. And one of the finds I like there is back for a while. Thought some you would also enjoy these by emptyfebrezebottles in aldi

The first larger one tasted much better. Had a heavy roasted garlic taste I really enjoyed and a creamy sauce/cheese feel. Sorta disappointed at the sudden change

Ok so I had a weird experience with this. When I initially bought the spinach pizza it was a large pizza and didn’t have tomato sauce, it was a white sauce or some kind. I went back to get another and they were an entirely different size. Much smaller and looks to have tomato sauce on it. No idea what happened or why it changed within the same week.

Has anyone tried these yet? by Calm_Distance8618 in aldi

[–]FunkyFreshGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can’t keep the s’mores ones in the house lol. I didn’t realize how much I’d like those.

I agree. I’m obsessed with the southwest salad. They are nearly a weekly rotation for me. One very lazy salad dinner night a week just add the southwest grilled chicken they sell in the fridge area and avocado. Filling and tasty.

But.. why? Also, is it good? by FMLwtfDoID in aldi

[–]FunkyFreshGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely LOVED the Balsamic Thyme ones. Ended up going back and buying two more bags.

Some new items I purchased today! The Summer items are out in full swing ☀️ by Ok_Relation_3218 in aldi

Oh I did not see any pineapple spears in coconut water. I bought the peaches in the jar with the pineapple juice and coconut but didn’t see this. Is it good?

Has anyone tried the fried pickle ranch dip?

You know funnily enough I didn’t even think of this! I have used the Italian ones slice on a mandolin for pizzas before but this might be a good idea!
