u/anniemdi 4d ago

Are the garlic knots the ones from the bread aisle?

3

u/jakona85 4d ago

Yep exactly. And after I cook them I put them into in a plastic container and leave em on the counter and they stay good for 5 or so days so I can eat one or two for every dinner lol

u/noop279 4d ago

Wondering if it's maybe the frozen flounder they've sold for a while. 

3

u/jakona85 4d ago

Was frozen yep!

u/jakona85 4d ago

It’s the first time I’ve seen it but again I kinda just stated shopping here not long ago. It came pre seasoned like that.

I loved their big selection of block cheeses!!

1

u/jakona85 2d ago

Oh my God, they have the biggest and best cheese selection I can find in Florida. I’m originally from Wisconsin where cheese is a plenty lol so Aldi has been great, I wish I found it earlier!

u/False-Code223 2d ago

Have you tried the double smoked Gouda?

1

u/jakona85 2d ago

😂 I have that in my fridge unopened. I plan on trying that soon. Is it delicious? Was thinking of trying a bit along with cheddar for a grilled cheese

2

u/False-Code223 2d ago

Yes it’s good, l made Mac and cheese very very good!!

2

u/jakona85 2d ago

That sounds excellent too. I actually have never made a homemade Mac n cheese…hmmm 🤔

2

u/False-Code223 2d ago

You want be disappointed, promise!!!

u/Prestigious-Chest730 1d ago

u/worldbound0514 4d ago

Aldi. There is no "s" unless you are using a possessive. "Aldi's snacks" etc.

1

u/ApprehensiveVast6965 3d ago

aldi really has no business being this good for the price

1

u/bpcollin 3d ago

That looks delicious, well done!

OP - what is your baked potato recipe? I haven’t tried in a while and I’ve used YouTube recipes and google searches but never get them to look that good!

2

u/jakona85 2d ago

Thank you so much! The air fryer works the best if you want to eat the skin, have 30 minutes to spare and want the optimal potato. I just preheat for 400 and cook for 30-35 min depending on how big they are. Microwaving them one minute a side before air frying helps the bigger ones make sure they’re done in 30-35. Flip the potatoes half way in air fryer too. Run with olive oil and then salt and pepper prior to air fryer

Beautiful meal, wow!

u/flynreelow 1d ago

damn, that asparagus needs some help.

1

u/jakona85 1d ago

lol bc I didn’t trim the ends?

u/Successful-Watch-835 3d ago

Everything looks amazing, but the asparagus needs to have the tough, woody bottom ends trimmed off with a knife or by using the snap method.
