$38.52 Prime Rib for 4 Serving from Costco at Sand City, California by Ruth Paget

$38.52 Prime Rib for 4 Servings from Costco at Sand City, California by Ruth Paget 

Prime rib lovers might want to try Costco’s pretty excellent version of the baked dish, which sold for $38.52 today (November 14, 2026) at Costco in Sand City (near Monterey), California. 

My family portioned this out into 4 servings, which comes out to $9.63 per person. The COSTCO brand is called Cuisine Solutions and requires baking. 

I liked the au jus from the prime rib with mashed potatoes instead of butter. We drank a Chianti from Trader Joe’s with our meal followed by brie cheese and vanilla ice cream. 

I enjoyed our American lunch after market day thanks to the great deal on prime rib at Costco in Sand City, California.

(Note: I eat red meat once a month as part of the Mediterranean Diet and like having a reasonably priced option from Costco available.)

Fruit Salad with Homemade Ricotta Cheese Keeps Stomachs Full by Ruth Paget

 I was watching TikTok chef Giovanni Siracusa make ricotta cheese utterly fascinated with the thought of using it to top off a simple winter salad made up of bananas, apples, oranges, and rehydrated raisins to boost the immune system.

Siracusa adds lemon juice to warmed milk with lemon juice and adds salt.  Then, he scoops out the solids with a strainer.  The solids are freshly made ricotta cheese.  

I have posted a link to Siracusa’s video below:

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPL79vNFD/

If you do not want to make ricotta cheese, you can use yogurt or cottage cheese as well.

This soup tastes great with toasted or day-old baguette bread.

When it is cold, this soup is vichyssoise.  I prefer the cold version of this soup in summer.
