Food finds + quick dinner

I usually go to Aldi to grocery shop, or the local Fair Share by my house, once in a while Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. I’ve kind of stopped going to Jewel or Dominick’s in the Chicago-land area, because their food is so much more expensive!

But, I ended up going to Dominick’s and did find a few things I wanted to pass along.

This Kashi cereal may have been out there for a while, but I hadn’t seen it before and its only 1 point per cup on Weight Watchers!

My son saw this at the store, so I picked it up for him

It looks like the pasta shape of Spaghettio’s! Even though I’m a grown up I still love Spaghettio’s. But this version is whole wheat pasta and you can just add your own sauce (a little healthier alternative!)

My husband and I had no kids for dinner tonight! Our old babysitter who we had for 12 years invited the kids to go to her house and play for the afternoon and stay for dinner. They had a great time, and I was kind of lazy about what to make for dinner, so I chose a staple I usually have in my pantry:

I just browned up 2 chicken breasts which I cut into smaller pieces and added the mix and that’s it! Very low maintenance dinner! I never noticed on the package before if you don’t like it as spicy you can add 1/2 cup of regular rice and and extra 3/4 cup of water.

It hit the spot!
