Trip to ALDI's

When I was leaving Denton, after visiting my best friends for a few days, I decided to stop by the ALDI's grocery store before leaving town. Like always, I used map quest to get me there... Let's just say, Map Quest took me to the distribution center where ALL the semi trucks go... I was the only normal-sized vehicle in the WHOLE parking lot. Ha! I rerouted Map Quest and ended up finding the grocery store. It only took me 45 minutes to get there... and it was on the opposite side of Denton. :)

After FINALLY getting there, I was definitely getting hungry for lunch, so I kept throwing items in my basket. I was surprised by how many gluten free items they had in the store. I think I grabbed one of every item they had. It will probably last me forever, but I was so excited to see all these products!

I purchased entirely too many products, but I was starving when I was shopping & that's never a good idea! From the top, left to right: Multiseed Rosemary & Olive Oil Crackers, Rice Macaroni and Cheese, Multiseed Sea Salt Crackers. Middle Row: Pretzel Sticks, Very Berry Crunch Granola, Brownie Mix, Yellow Cake Mix, Pizza Crust Mix, Triple Chocolate Crunch Granola, Chicken Nuggets. Bottom Row: Pepperoni Pizza (hot pockets!!!), Ravioli, Cheese Pizza, Lasagna, Southwest Veggie (looks like southwest rolls). 

A few notes: I have not tried all of the products. Honestly, I have only tried a couple of them so far. 

I tried the crackers. They are very crunchy & different, nothing like what I was expecting. I haven't decided if I like this version of a multitude cracker yet. I tried the triple chocolate granola with a bit of milk and it was good! It isn't too sweet and would be great on yogurt. The chicken nuggets were pretty good, but not the best. I got a couple pieces of hard things in the chicken and got totally grossed out. I'm weird with textures, so if I bite on an unknown piece of something in my food, I freak out. Although they tasted good at first, I don't think I'll purchase them again because of the couple times I had a weird hard piece in my nugget. On the other hand, the Pepperoni Pizza hot pockets were AMAZING! It was much better than what I remember actual hot pockets tasting like. If only they would make a ham and cheese version. ;) 

My 21st birthday is Friday and I will be using the yellow cake mix for part of my birthday cake. I'm thinking of making either a quick strawberry cake or a pina colada cake. We'll see. :) 

Happy Monday! School starts tomorrow, and I am excited for all that this semester has to offer!
