1. Here I am again talking about a kitchen item in my favorites’ list, but I beg you, if you don’t own a steaming basket*, get your hands on one. It’s so much easier to cook certain vegetables (like beans, broccoli, etc.) in a steaming basket than in water.
2. I don’t know about your gym clothes, but mine stink (especially after they sat in my gym bag for a few hours), so I invested in Molly’s Suds Sports Wash* to take care of the odor.
3. I’ve been a big fan of gnocchi recently. The regular potato kind, the sweet potato kind and most recently the cauliflower kind. Have you picked these* up at Trader Joe’s? You should.
4. My friend Tanja went to Aldi the other day (no, we still don’t have one nearby – don’t ask!) and sent me Schogetten* just because and it just made me so happy, a) because I have such a sweet friend, b) Schogetten are delicious and c) they remind me of home.
5. I’ve been craving ice-cold chocolate milk this month and Nesquick* is my favorite.
6. In case you are not using a password manager app yet (who doesn’t?), I’d like to recommend Dashlane* to you. It’s a great app that really keeps all your passwords straight and makes logging into websites a breeze.
7. I recently got this Method Body Wash* Coconut-Rice Milk-Shea Butter with one of my Grove.Co* shipments and I just love the smell of this body wash so much. It lathers up real nice, too.
What was one of your favorite things this month?

August 31, 2018 at 12:23 pmI might have to look into Dashlane. I have so many passwords to keep straight! LOL Oh gosh, I used to love chocolate milk but I haven’t had any in about a year and a half now.

September 1, 2018 at 6:25 amOooh, I love your roundup! I haven’t tried the cauliflower gnocchi yet, but I love the regular kind so will have to pick this up. Also! I live right by an Aldi now! I haven’t been yet, but hoping to go grocery shopping in the next week and will look for these chocolates :) also had no idea that method made body washes—great find! Xoxo and hope you are enjoying your weekend, San!

September 5, 2018 at 5:54 amThe cauliflower gnocchi sounds so good but my hunch is that it’s not GF. Booo! I would love something like that as I love gnocchi and have a couple of good gnocchi-based recipes that we make in the summer and fall. There is a good GF gnocchi at a specialty grocery store near us but it’s so pricey and it does not reheat well so I don’t make it very often.
My favorite thing from the past month was fresh tomatoes and cucumbers from my garden. My garden has been a bit neglected this year as I have struggled to find the time to get over there but my tomatoes and cucumbers did pretty well!
