Red Robin wasn't accepting people? Why?
Most kids don't like hot stuff!
Can I please have you recipe to make pumpkin pancakes?
Thank you!
Hi. did you put up the link for Grandpa's Special? I don't see it. Thanks
Yess! The blackberry was new in our store too, so of course I got it and it was amazing!! Hope you liked it! stay blessed 💕
That cinnamon swirl bread you showed at the end is delicious. I was standing in line at Aldi yesterday and they had that up by the registers. I was hungry so of course in the cart it went.
Love watching shopping hauls because it gives me ideas for my own shopping lists
My Aldi is higher than Kroger, Meijer, and Walmart. Very disappointing 😞
Those chocolate pumpkins are delish! Got them last year on clearance 🙂
I think you forgot to put Grandpa’s Special in the cards.
Great job on the cake Jackie !
I wish I had a green thumb ! But my heart is in the kitchen 🙂
What is the Aldi's diet soda pop like? I love going on your grocery shopping hauls. Thank you!
I’m in the same boat as you. I even kill succulents. I’m not like my grandma or mom.
The pumpkin spice ice cream is good.
Good shopping Jackie
Your title cracked me up! My sister and I joke that the 2 of us don't have black thumbs. We have entire black arms! We kill every plant we come in contact with! We both ruin vases of cut flowers, once we get them, they're ready for the garbage in 2 days. I have killed several little, potted cactus gardens. My sister is worse, she kills the upside down hanging tomato plants. We're an embarrassment to our Mom, who is an amazing gardener! Even more amazing because she was born and raised in NYC, living in apts there until her late 20s, without so much as a window box of flowers. For the last almost 50 years, she's lived in a lovely, sprawling apt complex in the suburbs. I grew up there and while her apt doesn't have the right sunlight to grow indoors, the grounds are extensive and we were allowed to plant flowers and for several years, had a pretty extensive veggie garden. After the initial prepping and planting, my black arm and I were banned from all the gardens until it was time to harvest veggies! It was a large community garden with several neighbors, we each had out own plot. Ours was about 15' x 20'. We had a ton of tomatoes, red and green peppers, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash and even several rows of corn! All of it was delicious and supplied us and lots of friends and neighbors with fresh produce from mid July until early Oct! When corn is picked right from the stalk, it's so sweet and tender, you can shuck it and eat it right off the cob, while walking in the garden! Raw, no butter, no salt! Same goes for the ears of baby corn the stalks also produce! For anyone who grows corn, don't forget to pick those ears of baby corn! Great for salads, stir fries, eating with dip as part of a credited platter. And anyone planting a veggie garden, plant half the tomatoes you think you'll want! Keep the plants staked up wrll and harvest them regularly, yeah plant produces a ridiculous amount of tomatoes! Definitely plant a lot of zucchini and let them get gigantic! Resist the urge to pick them when they're the size you find in the grocery store! Let them get huge! We'd forgotten about them until early Oct, thought everything was done after the 1st frost. We ended up with a lot of zucchini that were as big around as a large eggplant and at least 2' long! We used some for zucchini parm. Sliced, breaded, fried and layered with tomato sauce and cheese, baked until bubbly, the same way you'd make eggplant parm. My mouth is watering at that 30 year old memory! We cooked the rest in a lit of ways! My fave, after the huge trays of zucchini parm, was to cut into bite size pieces, sautee with onions, garlic, salt and pepper. I love zucchini, but those giant ones were the most delicious I've ever had!
Thanks for bringing back all these memories! My friends who live in rural areas all over the country always find it hilarious that the girl with the black arm grew such an extensive garden, less than 20 miles north of NYC, in an apt complex in the suburbs! So do I!
I struggle keeping plants alive too. haha Well done on the birthday cake!
Its very hard to kill a zz plant. You water it like once a month or less. Thanks for the walk through.
That cake is so cute! I got the seasonal apple cinnamon ice cream last week, it’s probably the best ice cream I’ve had from ALDI.
You did a great job on the cake
I cannot find the recipe that your grandpa‘s meal
Love your sons cake!
Hi
Jacks
Thanks FOR taking us along. Sounds like a really tasty menu to me. ☺☺☺
Fun!
Do the aldi brand sodas taste as good as the name brand?
Thanks for a video and wee haul. People will always complain, now theyll say too much on the cupboards😋 Great job on the cake thats awesome.
😊👍
That cake looks beautiful!!
My Aldi had a bunch of your plain Bel Vie water that you like!
I keep wanting to ask–you like the plain sparkling water. Why do you like the seltzer vs tap water and why the unfavored? I love seltzer too and any flavor as long as it is purely seltzer.
You are awesome! I hate waste too! Take care God bless!
I get so many ideas from your hauls thamks
You did a great job with your son's cake! How fun! Love it!
