Living Insanity's Loving Food

These skewers from Aldi are the bomb!  They take about 10 minutes in the air fryer.  Remember to flip them over once.  I sprinkled with tajin after cooking.  They skewers come in a package were each skewer is sealed.  You only open up the number you want.  10 in a package.  They lasted 3 meals for me.  The asparagus was also from Aldi!  It was awesome.  After the horrible Sams Club asparagus I guess I needed to give the veg another try.  My red skin mashed potatoes are not Aldi.  The potatoes were probably bought from Walmart.  This meal was so good.  I love Aldi sometimes!

We went to the beach for the air show.  My boyfriend wanted steak and shrimp for dinner so that is what we had!  I bought 4 sirloin steaks, a caesar salad, and asparagus from Sams Club.  Then I made some instant garlic rice.  I sauteed mushrooms from Walmart too.  The shrimp came from the crab shack down the street.  The Sams club steaks were outstanding.  The produce was not.  I had to throw out a lot of mushy slimy asparagus.  We also had to pick out brown lettuce form the salad.  We wont be buying produce from Sams again.  

There is a new Dash In on route 40.  It's a gas station with some fresh food made to order.  I tried a burger and a smoothie.  The burger was ordered via touchscreen system.  This one has bbq pork and onions on it.  It was messy and hard to find the burger taste overall.  The smoothie was ordered at the counter.  You are given a cup and then follow the instructions on the smoothie machine.  A lot of flavors were out, but this is mixed berry and it was awesome.  I'd get it again especially on a road trip.  There is a Dash In on the way home from the beach house too.    

 The pork on this was perfect.  Seared on all sides then baked in the oven.  So yummy and tender when it was done!  The rosemary potatoes were good too.  The letdown was the sauce didn't have that punch dijon is supposed to have!  I think more mustard would have made it.  I'd eat it again.  It ended up being an easier cook than I thought since several things just went into the oven.

  This was a HUGE letdown on flavor.  It was not basil enough and I added twice as much lemon zest and juice to get any lemon flavor.  Sauce was also not creamy!  We won't be making this recipe again without major changes.

  This is my new favorite Hello Fresh meal. They had a ton of flavor and even included cilantro which I'm always suggesting they include!
