My grandmother is many things—loving, funny, resilient, 100 years old (!)—but an amazing cook she is not. I've written my nana several times, so eagle-eyed readers may recognize her as the grandma who's not above heat-and-eat sides and whose daily breakfast involves complicated steps such as toasting a bagel. Unlike many Allrecipes readers, I did not grow up with intricate pies and comforting casseroles gracing every visit to Grandma's.

My fiancée and I shop at Aldi once a week and try to keep the bill under $40. From penne pasta to frozen veggies, here's what we buy to make meals.

My partner and I spend $40 a week at Aldi. Here are 17 things we love to buy and how we use them.

I love quiche, but I don’t often have time to make a pie crust from scratch, nor do I always have the right ingredients on hand. So, when I was strolling past the deli section at the front of one of my favorite ALDI stores—and yes, I do have three favorite ALDIs I shop at regularly—I discovered La Terra Fina quiches.

Heinz has been super busy lately and not just with its ketchup. This company has been dropping many new condiments for us to try, and we’re not complaining one bit. In March, we welcomed three new gravy flavors—Roasted Garlic & Rosemary, Caramelized Onion & Thyme, and Herbs De Provence—that make our poutine dreams come true.

I could write love letters about so many of Aldi’s snacks—and, in fact, I have. There are so many good ones that sometimes it feels like my weekly grocery run is just a restock for chips and cookies with a few staples, like Red Bag Chicken and cottage cheese, thrown into the mix.

Watermelon season is here and, I don't know about you, but I’ve personally made it my life’s mission this summer to eat as much watermelon as humanly possible. With its high water content—92 percent to be exact—few foods are as refreshing and synonymous with summer as watermelon.

Everyone knows the tune: "Beans, beans, the magical fruit..." They are indeed magical (and something of a a fruit and a vegetable). Either way, I'm not surprised a bean recipe is our most-saved recipe for the Fourth of July. And this recipe isn't just any side dish: Cowboy beans are...

Guests gather around the grill and mill about outside at most backyard barbecues. If the host is running back and forth to the kitchen preparing and serving sides, they miss out on the best parts of the party. By getting the side dishes sliced, diced, and stirred before the party, you are free to spend the party working the grill–or the crowd.

15 Make-Ahead Sides That Will Make Every Backyard BBQ So Much Easier

When it comes to summertime grilling, the stakes are high. The sun is blazing, kids are running wild, everyone is hungry, and all eyes are on you while you tend to an open fire. No big deal, right? While burgers have a reputation for being an easy option to serve when curating a cookout menu, they are incredibly hard to do well, especially at scale. You have hot spots to contend with and flare-ups to manage, knowing that just a couple of minutes separate a perfectly cooked burger from one that looks and tastes more like a hockey puck. That said, in my opinion, the payoff of a perfectly cooked burger is worth the cortisol surge of (wo)manning the grill. One has not experienced true joy until they have nailed a tray of beautifully cooked-medium burgers.

On a long road trip, we all need two kinds of essential fuel. There’s the kind that keeps the car running, and then the type that keeps *us* running. While any old gas station or fast food fare can do the trick, if you’re going to be in the car for a while, you might want to employ some strategy to keep you satiated. Bringing your own snacks reduces unnecessary stops, meaning you’ll get to your final destination that much faster. And with the costs of fast food higher than ever this summer, that’s money back in your pocket. Finally, when you’re munching on something you actually like—and maybe something nutritious—that long drive will feel less like a chore and more like a fun adventure.

The 9 Best Snacks for Long Road Trips
