Last week, I posted a blog called “Bypassing Convenience”, and while I always think making your food from scratch is the way to go, sometimes you need some “convenience foods” to help you out in a pinch. Trader Joe’s is my go-to for quick easy meals when I am in a crunch.
My Most Loved Trader Joe’s Products:
Taquitos
Garlic Hummus Dip with Pita Bread
Vegetable Burritos
Chips and Salsa
Spinach Tortellini with Marinara
Rigatoni alla Siciliana
Gnocchi al Gorgonzola
Asparagus Risotto
Frozen Fruits (blueberries are affordable)
Goat Yogurt
Once in a while, I will cook a couple taquitos and top them with pico de gallo, sour cream and cheddar. Delicious! The beef is our personal favorite.
I love Trader Joe’s salsa, pasta sauce and hummus because it is beyond affordable and very yummy!
As a snack for great digestion, I often mix goat yogurt, frozen blueberries and a bit of honey together.
Trader Joe’s pasta meals, while not always the healthiest of options, are portioned well for two people. They also take less than 10 minutes to prepare.
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love from-scratch cooking! But sometimes even a domestic diva needs a little break!
