Delicious Finds #3: Inexpensive (and super delicious) Gluten Free Mac N Cheese

Note: this is not a sponsored post. This is simply a series where I share serendipitous supermarket finds that turn out to be delicious.

Hello my loves,

Happy Thursday! Hope everyone is having a great week so far. Just a quick post to share yet another super market find that has turned out to be truly delicious. I twitted about it the first time I made it and have been a fan ever since.

Last week I was able to find some organic chicken cutlets on sale at my local supermarket and thought to myself--- what better way to pair up some delicious chicken than with mac and cheese plus some veggies on the side to round it all up?! Well, that's exactly what I've been having for dinner the last couple of nights and I've had enough self control to still still have a good amount left over.

I believe the box is good for allegedly 2.5 servings but I've been portioning it to one cup each time I have some (2 times this week) and it looks like I still may have enough for two more servings.

 

The rice pasta comes with its own cheese powder, however, I add about 1/4 cup of part skim mozarella to make it more wholesome. Another tip is that I been using almond milk instead of the regular 2% milk the recipe in the box calls for; making it a whole lot creamier.

 

Almost forgot to mention this 'delicious find' was found at Aldis (can you tell I love that place?!). The box only costs about $1.99 if I remember correctly. I know it probably doesnt compare to mac and cheese made from scratch but is a great alternative for a quick and delicious meal. Also, a lot healthier than other options, in my opinion. Perfect to satisfy that comfort food craving from time to time.

 

Again, I am not getting paid to write about this. I simply enjoy several of their products. After I twitted about the mac and cheese, someone from their social media group did reach out (publicly, via twitter) to offer some coupons. I have yet to take advantage of that but will in the near future. We shall see. If anyone from Aldis is reading this please email me :)

And that's all folks!

 

Would love to hear from you-- what is your favorite mac and cheese recipe? Link it below! would love to give it a try.

Love,

Mabelle

Delicious Finds #2: Organic White Cheddar Puffs

Hello lovely readers,

Happy Saturday!

If you missed Delicious Finds #1 check it out HERE.

As mentioned in my original post-- from time to time I come across 'serendipitous' finds at the supermarket, Target, my local Bodega, etc. Items which catch my eye, I grab on a whim, and which turn out to be delicious.

In these post, I share my finds and what I think of them.

Not being sponsored for this. Just sharing.

So part of my "grocery shopping" staples include chips which I tend to eat with my sandwiches or wraps during lunch. Chips make my lunches simply more wholesome and satisfying to say the least not to mention I'm usually very busy during the day so I tend to prep quick lunches.

While shopping at Aldis, I usually grab their Sweet Potato chips (also super delicious). But the other day, right next to my go-to chips I found this gem:

First of all, some advise for the marketing department or designer of the bag of this product: remove the "Kids" label. I almost didn't buy this because I don't have any kids at home so I was a bit hesitant. The only thing that motivated me to put it in my cart was reading the ingredients. Every single ingredient was organic and everything sounded so delicious I couldn't resist. I believe the bag was $1.99 or so (cant remember exactly) but it seemed like quite the bargain.

I got home right at the nick of time: Lunch Time! and I prepped my sandwich. I couldn't wait to try this product and let me tell you something--- it did not disappoint!! Light and fluffy cheese flavor. Kinda' melts in your mouth. Super flavorful but not overpowering. Perfect complement to my lunches. Very similar in texture and flavor to Pirate Booty products (if you'd tried them).

I believe the 'Simply Nature' brand is owned by Aldis. So, if you have one near you or shop at one, I'd encourage you to check this out and try it. I looked through my pictures to see if I took a photo of the first meal I had with the puffs but couldn't find any. I guess I couldn't wait to eat that day and forgot to take a picture :)

And that's all ladies and gents.

Tell me, have you tried this product? Have you tried anything delicious lately that you came across by "chance" and would recommend? let me know!

Delicious Finds #1: Eureka Bread

Hi All!

Hope you are having a great day so far. I've been working away all day. Thankfully had a chance to hit the gym earlier today but then it was back to work.

Anyways, I had such a delicious lunch today which inspired me to share what I ate with all my readers. My lunch was as simple as it gets--- a turkey and cheese sandwich. However, my palate was having a party with the bread, it was delicious!

I actually came across this bread yesterday during a trip to target. At about $3.50 per bag (and organic!) it caught my eye after taking a quick glance at the ingredients. I felt it was a pretty good deal for such a wholesome healthy-looking bread (similar to something I'd find at Whole Foods or Trader Joes), so I decided to give it a try.

This bread did not disappoint. I picked up the "Grainiac" 'flavor but they had pretty much all of them at Target. The excerpt in the front of the bag definitely describes it to the T:

We baked as many organic grains into this chewy, flavor filled bread as physics will allow — 12 to be exact. Try it for yourself and become a Grainiac!

So anyways, from time to time I come across 'serendipitous' finds and I'll be sure to share them with you on the blog as long as I find them delicious enough to let the world know. This bread definitely made the list. As long as the price remains the same (or lower, of course) they've gained a customer. If you'd like to read more about the brand check it out here.

By the way-- Im not getting paid to talk about this on the blog nor am I a sponsored blogger for the brand. I simply found this delicious and had to share!

Thanks for reading.
