Hi friend!

Do you love shopping at Aldi or looking for some easy recipes?

In today's video I'm going to take you along as I do my weekly grocery shopping at Aldi, then share with you my haul! I will also be doing prepping dinner and making Pinky Winky! It's so good!

Dinner recipes on the menu -
1- Greek Chicken Bowls (I share in the video) served over rice.
2- Creamy Tomato and Basil Chicken (aka Marry Me Chicken) - I bake the chicken and use fire roasted tomatoes instead of sun dried tomatoes. I serve it over rice. It's so good! - https://littlesunnykitchen.com/marry-...
3- Sheet Pan Pesto Chicken ( I just toss jarred pesto with chicken and a little white wine vinegar and let it marinate all day. Add to a sheet pan with veggies. Serve also with a side salad.
4- One-Pan Asian Ground Beef and Rice - https://www.fivehearthome.com/one-pan...
5 - Slow Cooker Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork with coleslaw on brioche buns. Serve also with French fries. I also like to top it on baked sweet potatoes - https://www.motherthyme.com/2024/01/e...
6 - Mini Turkey Meatloaves serving with rice (you can also serve with mashed potatoes) salad and a veggie - https://www.fivehearthome.com/turkey-...
7 - Easy Hamburger Helper - served with a side salad - https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/one-... (I don't add the zucchini)

+ other items for salads, Big Mac Salad which I toss together with lettuce, pickles a little cheese, diced onion and cooked ground beef or ground turkey. I make a simple homemade 1000 island dressing. It's so good!

I always keep pasta and pasta sauce on hand to whip up for an easy meal too.

Greek Dressing
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon (about 1/2 lemon), juiced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Add all ingredients to a jar, close lid and shake well. Store in refrigerator until ready to use.


Over 7 easy-go to dinner recipes! I don't plan ahead what I am going to make each day unless it's an ingredient that needs to be used up first. Most of the time I decide the night before or the morning what I'm going to make with the "pool" of dinner ingredients I've picked for the week or let the family pick.

I keep my list of recipes on the menu for the week going and cross them off until I get low, then I start working on my meal plan for the following week, rotating go-to recipes and I always like to add a few new ones into the rotation to keep things fun and trying new recipes!

I hope this gave you some dinner and recipes inspo!
