Remember how I used to maintain a 365 blog? I stopped that about a year ago, at the same time I began posting here just three times a week. I kind of miss the fun and ease of 365 posts, but don’t want the every day commitment, so I thought that sometimes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’d just do a 365-ish kind of photo post here.
None of us were terribly hungry on Sunday night, so we had kind of a snacky meal. As I was getting things ready to eat, I realized that all of this is from Aldi. 🙂

We also had Aldi pistachios (not pictured) and popcorn popped on the stovetop.
(Which wasn’t from Aldi, because they don’t carry popcorn except for the kind in microwaveable bags, and I don’t think those are particularly fabulous from a health perspective or a trash-producing perspective. And it’s not like popping it on the stovetop is hard.)

Aldi does have the whole popping kernels a couple of times a year, at least they have in the past. I love Sunday evening dinners. We often have "snacky" ones or "breakfast for dinner" on Sundays because we usually eat a larger meal later than usual that day. :-)

We love a good grazing meal. I admit there were many days it was just me and the littles when a whole meal wouldn't make sense or when the day completely got away from me and a meal like this hit the spot :)

Kristen, How do you pop corn on your glass top stove without scratching the surface as you shake the pan? Loath to eat over packaged, everseasoned, chemical laden microwave popcorn I got (from a freecycler) a hot air popper. The only problem with that is, it's a single use appliance taking up precious space in my kitchen.

I pop plain popcorn kernels in a glass microwave safe bowl, cover it with a plate. Microwave for just 4-6 minutes then add butter, salt or whatever you like. I love that I don't have an extra little appliance, it's easy clean up and it tastes better than in a pan on the stove top, in my opinion!

Aldi's should hire you as a PR person!

I love having easy, light meals like this! It´s almost like a type of Tapas; only you can choose whatever type of food you´d like!:-)
