Deeeelicious indeed, sir! You and I and some others have long known about the wonders of Aldi! Such high quality, lower sodium as a matter of routine over the store and national brands, great taste and an always dependable price that's often at least half that of other stores.Plus really nice employees who make a good living wage with great benefits. Woo-hoo!
Please do be sure you're getting enough protein, though. I know you know that, but especially with all the physical activity your work entails, you need something that'll stick to your ribs as well as the happy good carbs to burn. Ground turkey from Aldi has always been our standby for meatloaf as well as a great mix-in with chopped fresh veggies into plain spaghetti sauce over whole-wheat pasta. (Kroger always has good dollar-type deals on their store brand of whole-wheat pasta, too, and it tastes even better if you just slightly overcook it.)
If you want to carry something with you for a quick healthy snack in addition to fruit, the cereal bars from Aldi (strawberry, blueberry, etc.) are really good and the usual low cost. I have 'em with me all the time.
Congratulations on continuing to feel better and get even more healthy. You're a role model for all of us!
All the best to you and our beloved Curly, dear Larry/Flowers, and Keveeen the Guest Penguin! ;D
