Limited-Edition Dolce & Gabbana Pasta - Pasta Dishes I Cooked with The Luxury Fashion Brand's Pastas

Have you ever seen Dolce & Gabbana Pasta with Pastificio G Di Martino? A few months ago, I purchased these pastas at my local Whole Foods.

When I found these at the store, I thought that I should buy ones! These are from Dolce & Gabbana, a luxury fashion brand, but these prices are as affordable as regular pasta. 😉

Limited-Edition Dolce & Gabbana Pasta

At my local Whole Foods, there were two kinds of Dolce & Gabbana pastas, Penne Mezzani Rigate and Fusilli Corti Col Buco.

The packaging is so colorful and cute.

These pictures reminded me of my travel in Italy. I had visited Rome, Florence, Milan and Venice in Italy before I moved to the U.S. from Japan. All foods I had eaten in Italy were very delicious, and I would like to travel Italy again someday.

I cooked this penne arrabiata with Dolce & Gabbana Penne pasta.

Thanksgiving Grocery Shopping at Whole Foods

This Thursday, my husband and I went to Whole Foods to purchase some grocery for our Thanksgiving dinner.

Whole Foods Fresh Tabletop Christmas Trees

At the entrance, some fresh tabletop Christmas trees were selling for $24.99 each.

Whole Foods Fresh Tabletop Christmas Tree

Whole Foods Rotisserie Chickens

Did you know that Whole Foods Rotisserie Chickens are very reasonable? Regular Plain Rotisserie Chicken is $5.99 and Organic one is $9.99.

Whole Foods Rotisserie Turkey

Because it was Thanksgiving Day, they were also selling Rotisserie Turkey. This large 10.75-pound Rotisserie Turkey was $69.99.

Whole Foods Rosemary Garlic Bone-In Turkey Breast

They were selling fresh Rosemary Garlic Bone-In Turkey Breast (ready to roast) for $5.99 per pound. The smallest one was 5.95 lb and was $35.64. The larger one was 9.75 lb and was $58.40.

Whole Foods Rosemary Garlic Bone-In Turkey Breast

Whole Foods Fresh Turkey Drumsticks, Wings, and Necks

They were also selling fresh turkey drumsticks and wings for $3.99 per pound, and necks and livers for $1.99 per pound.

Whole Foods Traditional Crab Cake

Two large crab cakes were $11.98.

Whole Foods Mini Chicken Cordon Bleu Bite and Chicken Enchilada Bite

Whole Foods Mini Chicken Cordon Bleu Bite and Chicken Enchilada Bite were $1.29 per piece (Each package contains 10 to 12 pieces.)

Whole Foods Mini Cheesy Jalapeno Chicken Bite and Italian Style Chicken Marsala Bite

Mini Cheesy Jalapeno Chicken Bite and Italian Style Chicken Marsala Bite were also $1.29 per piece. (Each package contains 12 to 16 pieces.)

Whole Foods Wrap

We decided to purchase Turkey Bacon & Swiss Wrap for lunch on Thanksgiving.

Whole Foods Pizza

By the way, we really love Whole Foods fresh Pizza.

What We Purchased at Whole Foods

These were the grocery we purchased at Whole Foods that day. When we go to Whole Foods, we often purchase grape tomatoes and baby carrots. Their fresh grape tomatoes always taste so good. I also love their frozen shelled edamame because edamame shells are already removed, so it's easy to cook and eat.

Thanksgiving Lunch

Turkey Bacon & Swiss Wrap

Turkey Bacon & Swiss Wrap was $5.99. We had it for lunch with bacon, fried eggs, grape tomatoes and baby carrots.

I wanted to have something with turkey meat on Thanksgiving. It was healthy and perfect lunch for us. 😊

Thanksgiving Dinner

Air Fryer Turkey Wings

At the Whole Foods, we were going to purchase Rotisserie Chicken for dinner (because a rotisserie turkey was too big for us), but we ended up purchasing fresh turkey wings there. Three fresh turkey wings were only $9.58. As soon as we came back home from Whole Foods, I rubbed two teaspoons of salt on fresh turkey wings. Then, I soaked them in sake, Japanese alcohol for 6 hours or so in order to get rid of smell of meat and soften meat. Finally, I cooked them with our Gourmia 6-qt air fryer for 40 minutes in total. (Air fry them for 20 minutes. Then flip them over. Air fry them for another 20 minutes).

Air Fryer Turkey Wings

We also made scones, mushed potatoes and cream of mushroom soup. It was super easy Thanksgiving dinner!

Happy Holidays!

Beyond Burger Plant-Basted Patties - It Tastes Like Real Meat!

A few weeks ago, my husband and I went to Whole Foods and purchased these plant-based meat products.

Plant-Based Meat

Not All Plant-Based Meat Tasted Like Real Meat

Years ago, we also had plant-based ham for our first time, and we were surprised that it tasted like real ham and was very delicious! That's why we expected that these plant-basted meat products I purchased at Whole Foods would definitely taste great. First, I tried Lightlife Breakfast Patties, however, it tasted like weird... It was a bit spicy and very dry. I was going to write about these plant-based meat products on my blog, but I was disappointed in that one, so I almost gave up writing about these because I only want to share with you what I really love through my blog.

He Made Beyond Burger Sandwiches, And It Was Beyond My Expectation!

Last week, my husband made sandwiches with Beyond Burger Plant-Based Patties, and it was really good! It was beyond my expectation! It tasted like real meat! It had like natural meat flavors and very juicy. He took a lot of photos for my blog while making the sandwiches and asked me to write about his Beyond Burger sandwiches, so today's article is requested by my husband. 😁

Beyond Burger Plant-Based Patties

Beyond Burger Plant-Based Patties

This Beyond Burger Plant-Based Patties is originally $5.69 and contain two large patties.

Beyond Burger Plant-Based Patties

Is Plant-Based Meat Always Healthier Than Real Meat?

Unfortunately, its answer is probably, "no." Beyond Burger Plant-Based Patties is high in calories, sodium, and saturated fat, but zero cholesterol. If you want to lower your blood pressure, eating plant-based meat on a daily basis is not always better choice because of high in sodium. In my opinion, plant-based meat is not always healthier than meat. That being said, Beyond Burger is so delicious! That's why only have it once in a while to savor it.

This Is How My Husband Made Beyond Burger Sandwiches!

Just cook Beyond Burger patties and eggs in a large flying pan.

This is his homemade sliced bread. 😋

Spread mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard over the slice.

Add the patty on it.

Put your favorite cheese on it.

Put sliced tomato on it.

Finally, top it with fried egg.

Enjoy!

Whole Foods Haul

Yesterday, my husband and I went to Whole Foods because our favorite Allegro Coffee was on sale!

Allegro coffee whole bean and ground were a buy one get one free sale through September 24.

We wanted to buy whole beans because you can keep whole beans fresh longer than grounds, but we ended up purchasing these coffee ground because there was no whole bean for these Whole Foods Blend and Cafe La Duena. Two 12 oz packages of Allegro Coffee ground were only $11.99. :)
