![]() ![]() I have plenty of different veggies and greens on hand. With all of this, we will be eating lots of strawberries and other fruit. Italian Grilled Chicken with grilled veggies.Easy Noodle Stir Fry with asparagus, carrots, broccoli, and zucchini.Roast with carrots, potatoes, and gravy.My kids do not miss grating cheese by hand. Make Peanut Butter (I also make it this way sometimes to make it more spreadable.).Grate Cheese (It took about 10 minutes from start to clean-up to grate a 5-pound block.).Not that you were asking, but my two favorite ways to use my food processor are: Saturday I was actually home for the entire day – something that hasn’t happened in quite a while! I baked bread and got caught up on some work, made a menu plan, and had my kids help me grate one of those huge hunks of cheese in our food processor. Walmart – 5 bottles of 100% apple juice (because I could Price-match them for 98¢ and like to have juice on hand for company/treats), 2 huge blocks of cheese, half-and-half, and 3 buckets of ice cream (not pictured) for our homeschool basketball banquet dinner.Fresh Thyme – tons of butter, lots of chicken breasts and thighs, a beef roast, full-fat yogurt (a great treat I can’t find locally), 12 pounds of strawberries, 2 bunches of asparagus, 5 huge red peppers, 4 packages of organic prepped hashbrowns (because they were a great price and will be a fun treat), and 6 kiwi (for a dollar!).Aldi – a case of organic salsa, 4 packages of brown sugar, 1 cantaloupe, and 8 cans of knock-off rotel.Here’s the breakdown, but as you can see… Fresh Thyme Farmer’s Market was the most fun. I am going to save so much money!Įlias and I hit Aldi while we were in Lincoln, then went to Fresh Thyme, then ran into Walmart when we got back into town. The beauty of this is that while I don’t go to Lincoln very often, I can price-match this store’s produce prices weekly at my local Walmart. But 88¢ for huge and beautiful red peppers, people!!! Chicken for $1.57 a pound! Strawberries for $1.50! Not everyone geeks out when grocery shopping. “Elias!! Wasn’t that so much fun! That is my new favorite store! Didn’t you just love that!?!?!?” I filled my cart in a way that made the cashier question my sanity (what’s new?) and I left super pumped up. ![]() I decided that this store is a cross between Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, with prices that beat both places. Since Elias and I had doctor appointments there last week, we stopped in. A brand new Fresh Thyme Farmer’s Market just opened up in Lincoln. That right-side-up-upside-down picture was taken on Friday when I was introduced to what may now be my favorite grocery store. Others of you are like, “Why are the peppers and avocados spilling out all over the grocery store? Who is going to clean that up? Why did Laura do that? This is not okay.” Some of you are seeing this first picture right-side-up. This is because I am a professional and always do things professionally. But if you are a subscriber, you will see that they still appear upside-down in the newsletter. I edit them to turn them right-side-up, and they appear as such here on my blog. First let me say that sometimes, but not always, when I take pictures on my phone, they upload upside-down to my computer. ![]()
