I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving week with family and friends, and that it went more smoothly than Bad Kitty Lucy's introduction to her canine cousin while my own family was visiting. Worth noting: on the side, sliced apples and Parmesan pesto roasted potatoes (cut these larger potatoes smaller than quarters and put in at the same time and temp as chicken; might require to increase cooking time a little).

Is Free Aldi Meal Plan Worth It?

More importantly, wednesday: Creamy pesto pasta with chicken & broccoli (apply more chicken, broccoli, pasta, 5 oz cream cheese, and a little added broth & pesto). Top with Parmesan and serve with garden salad.

Thursday: Four ingredient slow cooker Italian beef with provolone (substitute the rest of the jar of mild pepper rings for the pepperoncini, and the rest of your can of chicken broth for beef). Serve with skillet red potatoes (since you'll have bigger potatoes, roughly chop them, and substitute cilantro for the parsley).

Where the Real Savings Hide

Remember that friday: Italian beef burritos: Slice half an onion and saute it in olive oil with 8 oz sliced mushrooms. Stir in your leftover Italian beef and continue to saute until you get some nice browned crispy bits.

Serve in warmed tortillas with shredded cheddar, the last of your cilantro, and avocado, with sliced pineapple on the side. Saturday: Leftovers, family pizza night (ALDI sells a nice large take-and-bake pizza), eat out, or date night.
