Dollar Tree Dining #10

I’d like to share a couple of Dollar Tree adventures from the past few weeks. I’ll start with White Castle. When I was a kid, White Castle was this distant wonderland. When I was maybe 10 or 11, my mom brought me to Detroit to see a Tigers game. On the way, we stopped to…

Dollar Tree Dining #9

I revisited the Loma plant-based meals this week. They are good, but we bought so many that we’re struggling to eat them all! I realized after maybe my 10th packet that the Tikki Masala packet tasted more like chili than anything, so I heated it up, added a little additional water and cheese and chili…

Dollar Tree Dining #8

Today, I have two meals to share with you: Asian-inspired potstickers, and Indian-spiced riced cauliflower. I had the potstickers for breakfast. With 14 grams of protein (and another 3 grams in the dip), it was hearty. The riced cauliflower was a delicious, low-calorie dinner. The entire bag of riced cauliflower contains less than 100 calories,…

Dollar Tree Dining #7

Most of my Dollar Tree Dining posts so far have been about snacks; not necessarily full meals. They have not necessarily been nutritionally balanced. I am changing my focus now, and making satisfying meals with ingredients purchased at Dollar Tree. Yesterday, I spent $3 at Dollar Tree and made a healthy, well-balanced dinner for two…

Dollar Tree Dining #6

This Teriyaki Chicken dish was really tasty. At first, I wasn’t sure if I liked it as much as the other amazing Dollar Tree dishes that I’ve tried… but it might have been psychological, because I noticed it had pineapple in it… I am not always the biggest fan of pineapple… I don’t want it…

Dollar Tree Dining #5

Why am I so obsessed with Dollar Tree?! A few times a month, my partner and I go to the nearby Dollar Tree, grab one of their shopping carts, and fill it up with fun foods. Often, a few impulse snacks will end up in our cart for the way home: Dollar Tree has the…

Dollar Tree Dining #4

Popeye would be proud! $3 for a delicious somethin’ sort of dinner. Protein. No guarantees that it’s dolphin safe, but it tasted good. All the gluten. Vitamins C and K.. Love me some hard consonants. Netflix and chill, spinach, and tuna. And enough rolls left over for breakfast tomorrow. La’ Chaim, my friends.

Dollar Tree Dining #3

A Dollar Tree exclusive: My breakfast today included both the best cornbread I’ve ever had, and cheddar jalapeno chicken sausage. There was no mechanically-separated chicken in this sausage! The cornbread muffins were really good! With a big, thick, chewy muffin top! Just like every woman wants! Keep scrolling, and there might be a recipe… Well,…

Dollar Tree Dining #2

My next experience with Dollar Tree Dining was a bean and cheese burrito with a side of steamed rice cauliflower. This was an easy, well-balanced, and cost-effective way to get an excellent, big, vegetarian meal for a great price. And, it was pretty. It was delicious, nutritious, and fast to make. Try it at home!…

Dollar Tree Dining #1

The Dollar Tree has a huge degree of amazingness! To showcase this magnificence, I have established a blog segment that I’m calling, “Dollar Tree Dining!” Don’t expect gourmet, but it will be yummy! Dollar Tree Dining Incident #1, Friday, January 18: I ate this in a parking lot before going to see music. I forgot…
