I don’t frequent Trader Joe’s simply because it isn’t exactly convenient from where we live, nor can I grab some of those household items I need like diapers or prescriptions. BUT, I love Trader Joe’s. And I’ve been feeling a little bored with some of our meals and I was inspired to make something fun and different. So I’ve made a few trips to TJ’s lately and found some really good stuff.
I thought I’d share a few of those things as well as a colorful salad and easy dinner in case you’re eager to mix things up like I have been. Enjoy!
Favorite Trader Joe’s Items (and a few not pictured):
Cauliflower Gnocchi (I cook with pesto & chicken!)
Sweet Potato Gnocchi (I just throw some cooked chicken into the pan with it and DANG, so good)
Cilantro Dressing
Grilled Chicken Strips
Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry (5 minute prep with no sauce necessary!)
Sunbutter for my kids
Mixed Nuts!
Sundried Tomato Chicken Sausages
Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Cups!
A Colorful Salad:
You can mix a variety of things but I chose chickpeas, sliced radishes, diced peppers, grilled chicken, and crumbled goat cheese over spinach with cilantro dressing. It’s so good and those radishes give it the perfect crunch! Avocado would be a great addition!
An Easy Dinner:
This is the cauliflower stir fry with added grilled chicken strips and no sauce! Under 10 minute prep and so delicious!
Tell me your TJ favorites! Always looking for new inspo!
