Costco Faves Part THREE

 These five-cheese tortellini are one thing I always keep on hand in my freezer because everyone loves them, they're great cold in lunches and I can have dinner done in like 10 minutes.


Same with the Rao's sauce.  I started looking in sugar content in our grocery store sauces and while I still use them in certain things this option is SO MUCH BETTER and the two-pack pricing at Costco is better than any grocery store sale on them.


Are you evens shopping at Costco is you're not buying a rotisserie chicken?!?!?!  The answer is no ;). I use the rotisserie chicken in any recipe I can and also will serve it as the protein with a salad and side.  The price can't be beat and they're SO GOOD.


These are my favorite to keep in my desk drawer when I need something sweet.  I don't share them with my kids because they would eat like 4 at a time but if you love a fruit snack but are looking for something a little less gummy give these a try!


For me, meal planning doesn't necessarily mean having an elaborate meal nightly BUT it does mean having a plan so I don't feel frazzled at the end of the day and these come in clutch for chicken sandwiches or as "easy chicken parm" (bake as normal, then top with a dollop of marinara and a slice of mozzarella and broil until melted). It doesn't have to be fancy to feed your crew and this is always a fave in my house.

I keep one of these in my pantry for lunchbox treats, for friends to grab when they're over or for me to grab a mini twix for the road because sometimes it's just needed.  This mix is all the good stuff, promise!


These dried apples taste way better than they should. I don't really get it - but it's true.  I'll buy the big bag if I can find it, but my kids and I could eat all of it in one sitting if I'm not careful so this is often the better pre-portioned option ;)


Spring mix! Seriously - the package is GIGANTIC (I believe 2 lbs) and is under $5.  That beats the bagged mix all day every day.


These are my kids favorite granola bar....


.... and these make a great dinner served with honey balsamic brussel sprouts and/or some mac and cheese.  We will sometimes do them in buns, but most often I just heat them up, dice them and serve them like that.


These are the BEST oven cinnamon rolls ever!  They come in a 3-pack and I like keeping them in the fridge for a surprise morning where I remember to make them and/or a Fall weekend where we're not out the door for cross country crazy early.  JUST TRUST!


Last, but not least - the two pack of Nutella is a STEAL if you have people in your house who love it.


HAPPY Thursday, friends!!!
