My Aldi Lunch

Had to do the usual Saturday errands.  I'd eaten breakfast at about 5:30 a.m.—not my norm, by any means—so by the time I got home, I was ready for something quick. I'm not normally a fan of frozen pizza, but with a few additions, they can be pretty good.  At Aldi, I bought a Reggio sausage pizza, some spring salad mix, cremini mushrooms, and grape tomatoes. While the oven was preheating, I cleaned and prepped a few mushrooms and tomatoes. Once the pizza was baking, I sauteed the mushrooms and tomatoes and made a quick dressing for the salad.  Pictures—not the best due to the lighting in my kitchen—are below. 


The pizza, mushrooms, and grape tomatoes from Aldi

I sauteed the mushrooms and tomatoes at the same time. Normally,
I would saute the mushrooms first, then add the tomatoes when the mushrooms
were almost done.  Hunger dictated a shortcut, however.   

Spring Mix salad greens

Also from Aldi:  olive oil, white wine vinegar, and honey
from my pantry




The vinaigrette:  about a tablespoon of olive oil,  about a teaspoon of
vinegar, salt, pepper, and a few drops of honey.  
Voila!  Spring greens dressed with a quick vinaigrette and pizza with 
sauteed mushrooms and tomatoes.  That stray green at the top of the plate was a 
result of dressing and tossing the salad on the serving plate
instead of in a separate bowl.
