Hello everyone. Welcome back to
0:01
Katherine's Plates. We are going to do
0:03
an Aldi haul. It is December 2nd. We
0:07
need some Christmas stuff, baking stuff,
0:10
and we need stuff for a wedding gift
0:14
basket that I want to give to Joseph and
0:16
Megan. That is my son and his fiance,
0:19
and they're getting married next week.
0:21
So, I'm trying to put together kind of a
0:22
food basket for them, just a nosh on.
0:26
and Thomas, that's my husband over there
0:29
on his channel, Rational Reviewer. He's
0:31
going to be reviewing some stuff. A lot
0:33
of it is in the frozen bag right here.
0:35
So, we're going to go over that first.
0:38
Now, he picked out some ice creams cuz
0:40
he wants to do those for Christmas.
0:44
So, what we picked out, what he picked
0:46
out was peppermint bark. Now, this is
0:49
Blue Bell. And then Christmas cookies,
0:52
Blue Bell. So y'all go check him out
0:55
over there on Rational Reviewer
0:58
and he will be testing those out for
1:00
you. All right, next we've got some
1:03
appetizers. These were in the frozen
1:06
section and Thomas will be reviewing
1:08
those also on his channel. You know, you
1:10
got tree trimming. You know you're going
1:13
to be putting your tree together and you
1:14
need some appetizers to nosh on. And
1:17
also football season is right now. So,
1:22
we're going to start with the first one.
1:23
This is fried
1:27
and this is a tomato basil. And it's
1:29
fried potato dumplings coated with a
1:32
tomato and basil batter. He's going to
1:35
give those a try.
1:38
And with that one, it's going to be an
1:40
appetizer show. He's going to do
1:43
caramelized onion and gouda mini puff
1:46
pastries. And there's 12 of them in
1:48
here. And it says it's a flaky all
1:51
butter pastry topped with creamy Gouda
1:54
cheese filling and caramelized onions.
1:56
He's a big fan of Gouda.
1:59
So he's going to do that one over there
2:01
also. And the last one that he's going
2:03
to do on that show is everything Frank's
2:07
in a blanket,
2:10
which this is mini Franks wrapped in
2:12
puff pastry and topped with everything
2:14
bagel seasoning. So, he's going to give
2:16
those a try and see if they live up to a
2:19
pigs in a blanket.
2:22
All right. What else do we got in this
2:23
bag?
2:26
I've got smoked guda. I'm going to shred
2:28
this up because I'm going to be making a
2:30
onion soup. It's a French onion soup and
2:33
I got a special way of doing this
2:34
recipe. Oh, if y'all are excited about
2:37
that, let me know.
2:40
I love to caramelize down onions for
2:42
that. And the last thing in this bag,
2:46
boring, I know.
2:49
I had to grab some bell peppers. $1.78
2:52
for these right here. So, I'm going to
2:54
be stuffing these because I love a good
2:56
stuffed bell pepper and I like the green
2:59
ones. All right, we're going to get
3:01
these in the freezer and then I'm going
3:03
to bring out all the good stuff.
3:06
All right, I'm going to tell you that we
3:08
spent $122 at Aldi and I call it the
3:12
Mosy store. I don't know what it is
3:14
about Aldi, but when you walk in there,
3:16
people are mosying or even slower than
3:19
that shopping there, okay? They're
3:21
looking at everything.
3:23
So, I'm going to list the prices up
3:25
above as you see the item. That way,
3:27
you'll know how much it costs for each
3:29
item.
3:31
All right, here we go.
3:35
I saw these and I thought of Thomas
3:36
because he loves gingerbread cookies.
3:38
Y'all, these look they look delicious.
3:42
These are mini Ellisine gingerbread
3:46
cookies glazed. They got the glaze down
3:49
here and they have the chocolate up at
3:51
the top. So, he's pretty excited to try
3:53
these. Maybe we'll get him to try them
3:56
on his show. Y'all scream loud enough
3:59
and maybe he will.
4:03
Now, I got these right here. I'm a fan
4:06
of coated pretzels. Cinnamon bun coated
4:09
pretzels.
4:11
What? Those sound delicious. So, yeah,
4:17
I'll be eating those. All right. So, I
4:20
picked up some M&M's. I picked up these
4:23
cuz I was going to make some M&M
4:24
cookies.
4:27
And then I guess the other ones are in
4:29
the other bag. I found the holiday ones.
4:31
So, I'll just mix them up, make some of
4:33
these, and make the holiday M&M cookie
4:35
ones. So, it's not Christmas around here
4:38
unless you have M&M cookies. Ask Joseph.
4:42
I'm going to make him a nice little
4:43
batch for, you know, his honeymoon.
4:48
Well, he gets some, not all of them.
4:51
Have three
4:52
cuz we really have to have some cookies
4:54
here.
4:56
All right. I saw these peppermint mini
4:59
waffle cones.
5:02
Yeah, I wanted Thomas to try these.
5:04
They're bite-siz waffle cones filled
5:06
with heavenly
5:08
smooth peppermint flavored chocolate. I
5:12
want to give one of those a try. I think
5:14
I'm going to right now. Let's do it.
5:17
Y'all want to do it? Let's do it. Let's
5:20
do it.
5:21
Wait a minute. You can't throw out me.
5:23
Duck down.
5:25
Oh, hey. Oh,
5:33
girl scout cookie.
5:35
Mhm.
5:36
That's what that tastes like.
5:44
It's 150 calories for five.
5:46
For five of those.
5:50
Those are good.
5:52
Those are good.
5:53
Those are really good.
5:55
Winner,
5:56
y'all. These taste like Girl Scout
5:58
cookies.
5:59
Yeah, those thin mints.
6:00
Thin mints.
6:03
I got to go back.
6:05
Put some of those in my freezer.
6:07
All right,
6:09
for the kids basket, for their wedding
6:13
basket, I'm giving them these cheese
6:16
sandwich crackers. It's a 12count. And
6:22
this is by Savoritz.
6:24
All right.
6:26
So, that's going in their basket, too.
6:28
We're going to get just a lot of little
6:30
goodies, things to easily eat. You don't
6:32
have to worry too hard about it.
6:35
And then
6:37
got them this mini peanut butter
6:39
sandwich crackers.
6:42
Said it's made with real peanut butter
6:44
in the filling. And again, these are
6:46
made by Savorites.
6:51
Another good one. Now, for their basket,
6:54
I'm also going to put in a brownie
6:56
fudge. Oh, this is a chewy fudge brownie
6:59
mix, which is by Bakers's Corner, so
7:02
they can make themselves some brownies.
7:06
And
7:08
that's bag one. We still got a few more
7:10
bags. Thomas put this in the cart. This
7:13
is soft mini nougat bars variety pack.
7:19
Those look good. They're nougat bars.
7:21
And there's a chocolate, straatella,
7:26
pistachio,
7:27
strawberry, and amoretti cookies. So,
7:31
there's four different flavors in there.
7:33
That sounds pretty good.
7:37
All right, let me go on to bag number
7:40
two.
7:41
All right, I had to go get the
7:43
croissants.
7:46
Bakery style croissants.
7:48
There's a recipe that I'm going to be
7:49
using for that French onion soup. We're
7:52
going to be using the guda cheese and
7:54
instead of like the crusty French bread,
7:56
we're going to be doing croissants. And
7:58
I'm going to show you how that's going
8:00
to be incorporated into our soup.
8:02
Doesn't that sound delicious? It does.
8:06
And then I just got some restaurant
8:08
style tortilla chips because we needed
8:10
some.
8:15
And Thomas got his mixed nuts with sea
8:18
salt.
8:20
Those are good.
8:21
Yep. And
8:26
we got another bag. And that's got all
8:28
the fun stuff in it. This is ricotta
8:32
spinach raviolis.
8:35
And they look really good. They're on
8:36
the pasta aisle near their sauce and the
8:39
pasta. And we picked up some of these.
8:41
Got one for ourselves and then one is
8:44
going to go into the basket for Joseph
8:47
and Megan.
8:49
Y'all, I'm so excited. They're getting
8:50
married next week and we are like
8:53
excited.
8:55
We get rid of them. It goes to Megan
8:57
now.
8:57
Yeah. And no takes taxis.
9:00
Done.
9:03
All right. We got a fun one here. Do I
9:07
keep saying that?
9:08
You keep saying
9:08
maybe I do. All right. Thomas has the
9:12
Christmas tree brownies.
9:15
Now, this is Little Debbie. I think he's
9:17
going to compare these to the brand that
9:20
Aldi has and he's going to do that on
9:21
his show with some other Hostess snack
9:25
cakes.
9:26
Little Debbies.
9:26
Little Debbies. So, you'll see that over
9:29
there.
9:31
Well, okay. This is maybe not so fun,
9:33
but I needed to get some um Pam, but I
9:36
got their variety, which is Carlini
9:38
original. If you've ever tried that, let
9:40
me know how it works for you. It's just
9:42
non-cooked non-stick cooking spray.
9:45
That's what it is. All right, we got
9:48
some candy cane chocolate sandwich cream
9:52
cookies.
9:55
Now, these are going to go into their
9:56
basket
9:58
if they make it.
9:59
Yeah. Thomas is going to be doing like
10:01
an Oreo review show also. So, this is
10:06
their brand, which is Benton's. So, he
10:09
may throw that one in there also and
10:10
just kind of see what you know the
10:12
differences between their brand and an
10:14
Oreo.
10:16
All right, something else for Thomas. I
10:19
found this and I was like, he needs this
10:21
oldfashioned peanut brittle.
10:23
Mhm.
10:24
We made oldfashioned peanut brittle. we
10:27
make it for Christmas time. But we're so
10:29
busy right now with the wedding coming
10:32
up. So,
10:34
I'm going to make him have this right
10:36
here.
10:37
Now, we did try to do oldfashioned
10:39
peanut brittle in the microwave. And let
10:41
me tell you, if you value your teeth,
10:45
don't do that. I couldn't even put that
10:47
video out because I mean, honestly, you
10:49
will break your teeth with that stuff.
10:52
Doesn't set right. All right, another
10:55
one for Thomas is Swiss Rolls. This is
10:58
Baker's Corner. He's going to be
11:00
reviewing that one also with the Little
11:03
Debbies and kind of give y'all what's
11:06
different about it.
11:08
All right, this one's going to my mom.
11:11
If you're watching, this one's for you.
11:13
Merry Christmas.
11:15
She gets these every year. These are
11:17
Queen Anne milk chocolate. These are
11:20
cordial cherries.
11:22
And she's had these for as long back as
11:25
I could ever remember as being a child,
11:27
too. She's always had one of these under
11:29
the tree. There you go.
11:30
Happy birthday, Miss.
11:32
Happy everything. Right.
11:36
All right. I picked up some of this to
11:37
put into their basket for the wedding,
11:40
which is buttery homestyle mashed
11:41
potatoes. Just a quick, you know, mashed
11:43
potatoes.
11:45
It's funny, when you're that young, you
11:46
don't care. You'll eat anything, right?
11:51
Okay, Thomas put this in here. Um, what
11:54
is this?
11:55
Honey.
11:56
Honey, but what is the name of it? I'll
11:58
put it right here because I don't know.
12:01
Anyway, what's really cool is there is a
12:03
What is that?
12:04
Honeycomb.
12:05
Honeycomb in there. So, can y'all see
12:07
that?
12:09
All right, we'll zoom in on that for
12:11
you.
12:12
Aldi twice as nice guarantee.
12:16
So, that's Aldi doing that.
12:21
All right. What do we have here? This is
12:23
for their basket. Also, this is
12:26
I wanted them to try this 92 jasmine
12:29
rice. They love jasmine rice when
12:31
they're cooking up chicken. So, this
12:33
will be really good for them. It's
12:35
aromatic, perfectly steamed.
12:38
And who's cooking up chicken?
12:41
They cook up chicken. Now, it might be
12:43
the breaded chicken in the freezer, but
12:45
they can have some rice with it.
12:48
I have gone over there to show them how
12:50
to cook and I'll probably keep doing
12:52
that till they get the hang of it.
12:57
All right, there's that second pack of
12:59
ravioli. This is the ricotta and spinach
13:03
ravioli right here. These are mini, so
13:05
they look really good. So, I can't wait
13:06
to try those. We got one right there.
13:08
And then that's theirs right there.
13:12
And
13:14
I found them. the holiday M&M's.
13:18
Yeah,
13:20
M&M cookies.
13:24
And then
13:26
God, y'all, I love a good shortbread
13:29
cookie during the holidays. They come in
13:30
the tins. These are in a box and they're
13:34
cafe crs.
13:37
They're uh delouch,
13:40
I don't know, German. So, they're German
13:42
and they're shortbread cookies topped
13:45
with sugar crystals.
13:47
Put that under the tree for me. And you
13:49
got a friend for life, let me tell you.
13:52
Got to have those. You know, everybody
13:53
has their favorite Christmas treat. If
13:56
y'all have one, let us know down in the
13:58
comments because it'll be really
13:59
interesting to see what everyone likes
14:01
to have their favorite under the under
14:04
the tree. All right. My daughter Rihanna
14:08
loves like those uh melting cocoa bombs
14:12
that you put into milk, hot milk. So, I
14:15
got her this. It's a melting snowman.
14:19
One of her little Christmas gifts.
14:21
If you're watching, Rihanna, is she?
14:24
No.
14:27
It's okay.
14:29
All right. And then I found these and I
14:32
want to try these. These are mini bagel
14:35
sandwich crackers and they're everything
14:38
seasoning and there's cream cheese in
14:40
between the little bagel sandwiches. So,
14:43
what do y'all think of that?
14:47
All right, you guys. That is our Aldi
14:50
that what? That is our Aldi haul. I
14:53
tried to put both words together, didn't
14:54
I? $122.
14:57
This is what we've done for Christmas
15:00
for the wedding, but I still got more
15:01
things to put into their wedding basket.
15:03
Maybe I'll show y'all the wedding basket
15:05
when I get it all done. I'm super
15:07
excited for that. And Thomas's show, The
15:12
Rational Reviewer. Go check it out.
15:14
Click on that. He reviews a lot of
15:16
things. If you want him to review
15:17
something, just go over there, comment,
15:19
and just say, "Hey, why don't you review
15:22
chicken from wherever?" Okay? and if we
15:25
have it around us, he'll give it a try
15:26
for you. All right, you guys. Happy
15:29
holidays. Merry Christmas from
15:31
Katherine's Plates. We all wish you
15:33
happy holidays for sure and a great new
15:36
year. All right, we will see y'all on
15:39
the next episode. Bye.
