I follow a young woman Katipederson on TikTok who puts together meals for a family of four for $15, shopping at Aldi or Trader Joe’s or Costco.
I’ve not been inspired to actually prepare any of the meals to feed my family but I like her enthusiasm and energy and the taste testing portion with her teenage son. Here’s her link to her dip. She’s got almost 600 thousand followers.
The other day she shared a dip recipe from Trader Joe’s ingredients. Here’s the total cost of this 13×9 dish of hot dip. Using ingredients from Trader Joe’s. The Steelers vs. Browns (rivals) were playing Sunday afternoon. I had a plan. This is not one of the just under $15 total posts.
I can tell you it’s pretty rich with the cheese and heavy cream in the queso. Don’t over consume.!! And I can tell you that everyone who eats chicken in the house, loved it!!!
Just under $28 for the dip ingredients. If I’d purchased a couple of the bags of the organic corn chips it would have been an additional ten dollars. I already had a bag of Tostitos scoops at home in the pantry You drain the liquid off the salsa It’s not too spicy but is flavorful with jalapeños in the queso Stir it all up in a large bowl Bake at 375. It did make a lot
Here’s what you need. I added a can of black beans, rinsed and drained. Got that idea from the comments. That would add $1.49 to the total.
This pic is from the Tik Tok video. The corn chips aren’t shown. I used this screenshot to find the exact products in the store. I’ve not bought them previously.
This is happening all over the city. It was a very exciting day!
The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Department checking for lead pipes. Several houses on our street have to have their pipes replaced. We do not.
My grandson called the shovel and dump truck Mighty Machines (which is an educational Canadian Show about all types of vehicles (premiered in 1994) you can find episodes on YouTube.)
They dug a big hole. Then filled it back up. Ananda went to get his hard hat and little dump truck. We watched from the car for quite some time – A “digger” and a dump truck.
