Fall is finally here!

Our family just moved and the very first thing we bought for our new home was an outdoor table and grill so we could entertain. Now that we’re living back in the city, we’re loving how often people feel comfortable simply stopping by. However, we don’t always get a lot of notice and we didn’t have a lot of room for seating.

Now, not only did we find a great seating option at Southern Salvage, we’ve learned that by simply keeping a few ingredients in the pantry and fridge, we can create great party foods quickly when the unexpected guest stops by.

And because I’ve done my shopping at ALDI, you know it’s frugal too. Like, some of these recipes are under $5 frugal.

I’ve partnered with ALDI because not only are they my go to grocery store for savings AND taste, but they’re also celebrating their new store opening in Spring Hill (more details below). Together, we’re thrilled to bring you these 5 fast fall entertaining ideas…all with 5 Ingredients or less!

We know you’ll be hit with a lot of temptation around the holidays, so we’ve chosen the most healthy options whenever possible (for example, using dark chocolate on the chocolate covered strawberries in stead of milk chocolate).

You may have even seen me demonstrate these recipes on Talk of the Town. But just in case you missed it, I’ve got the entire list of my favorite, flavorful and healthy fall recipes, (equally perfect for a tailgate party or family gathering) for you below:

As I mentioned above, ALDI is now in Spring Hill! The new store, located at 4917 Main St., offers high-quality grocery items at incredibly low prices.

o ALDI’s Spring Hill store features high ceilings, natural lighting and environmentally-friendly building materials – such as recycled materials and energy-saving refrigeration and light bulbs – to ensure that customers enjoy a shopping experience that is simple and easy to navigate.

o In addition to the store’s new look, ALDI brings shoppers a wide range of new, healthier options like organic produce, USDA Choice beef, the newly introduced liveGfree™ gluten-free product line and the SimplyNature line of products which are free of artificial colors, flavors and unnecessary enhancers.
