Wonderful haul. Soup looks absolutely delicious! And those broccoli bunches looked fabulous and somewhat even better than what you can find IN the store. Well Done. Currently snowing and we're expecting more. We have about 4 to 5 right now. One of these days, I'm just going to go out and make a snowman! xo
Very nice haul with a mix of things you would buy (if you could afford it) and things which are extras you wouldn't necessarily buy. While not a mega haul, it represents quite a few dollars.
Nice haul. I love the Aldi dumpster. I hit them up tonight and found about $80 worth of meat, as well as some produce, eggs, sugar and flour. Sure helps when feeding my family of 7.
Great dart set! Really happy about the broccoli and pears. The green one is Bartlet and the other is Anjou. Bosc pears are the kind that look brown. Glad the water will not just go into a landfill. I never tried the chocolate chip muffins. They look tasty.
Good deal DC,free food and soup making,yay!! Im glad irs open to you again. My boy is extra fluffy too,mb they knew it was going to get really cold 🥶..❤️😹😸
Great haul- I’ve transferred to “fizzy water “ from soda - Love the lime - if one really misses the ultra sweet of soda one can add the green sweetener packets from Starbucks that has stevia and monk fruit. Soup looks fabulous
Great finds. The soup looks delicious. I think if you had sour cream or Greek yogurt in your fridge you could have added that instead of milk. I look forward to other dives. Take care!
CROCKPOT FRENCH ONION SOUP You'll Need 3 pounds yellow onions, peeled, cut in half and thinly sliced 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste 2 sprigs fresh thyme ¼ cup balsamic vinegar 8 cups (2 32-ounce cartons) beef broth ⅓ cup brandy, optional but recommended 4 to 6 baguette slices, toasted (1 slice per bowl) 1 ⅓ to 2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (⅓ cup per bowl) How To Put the onion slices in a 5-quart (or larger) slow cooker, along with the butter, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. you can put as much onions as your crock pot/slow cooker will hold because they cook down and then divide for recipes! Cover the crockpot and cook on low overnight, or for 10-12 hours. The onions should be dark golden brown and soft. Add the beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and fresh thyme. Cover and continue cooking on low for 6 to 8 hours. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if desired, and stir in the brandy, if using. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).In evenly-portioned amounts, ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Place the bowls on a baking sheet to catch any spills while in the oven. Top each bowl with a baguette slice and the shredded Gruyere. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted. Turn the oven to broil and brown the tops for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before enjoying! I usually just do a baking sheet full of sliced French bread with garlic butter and any cheese on them that we have since we usually eat 2 or 3 slices when eating one or 2 bowls of French Onion soup. I do not bother with the broiler because I don't like my bread crusty or hard Oh, this soup looks SO good, don't you agree? We love having it do all the work while we take care of other things on our to-do lists. Have you ever made French onion soup in the slow cooker before? Do you have any tricks of your own for making the classic dish at home?
The soup looked absolutely delicious. I'm happy that Aldi is leaving the dumpster unlocked. That was a nice useful haul. Kiss your sweet fluffy kitties for me. ❤
Love your soup! It looked delicious. Just a tip - use caution with metal utensils in your Dutch oven. It’s not like Teflon but it can scratch and even damage the enamel coating. I use a nylon wisk and wooden/silicone utensils in mine.
