I find Aldi such good value for money. My must-haves I get from there:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cauliflower rice<\/strong> &#8211; I usually make pizza with this (recipe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/cauliflower-pizza-recipe\/\">here<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cottage cheese<\/strong> &#8211; Aldi one is the best cottage cheese. I absolutely love the onion and chives cottage cheese, it is syn free too! I top a jacket potato with it or make crustless quiche with it (recipe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/crustless-quiche-muffins\/\">here<\/a>) or eat it straight from the tub! It is sooo good.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fry Light<\/strong> &#8211; when on offer I buy a few to keep me going.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salmon<\/strong> &#8211; although the price has gone up recently, Aldi salmon is still the best value. I keep it simple by just grilling it for around 10 minutes and add salt and chilli flakes to it once cooked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quark<\/strong> &#8211; you can make so many things with it. Use it for savoury or sweet dishes. I like to make pancakes with it (recipe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/quark-pancake\/\">here<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skinny Latte Brooklea Yogurt<\/strong> &#8211; I have to admit that I am\u00a0slightly fussy\u00a0when it comes to yogurts. My absolute favourite are the Alpro yogurts. I tend to find other\u00a0yogurts a little bit too thin in texture. I like the creamier versions and this one from Aldi although is not as creamy as I&#8217;d like it to be, it is an amazing flavour and syn free unlike the Alpro yogurts!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Passata<\/strong> &#8211; you can this in most of the supermarkets and I don&#8217;t think there is much difference to the taste. Passata is great for pasta sauces or curries. Syn Rree and Speed Food.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What are your must-haves?
