What to Buy at Trader Joe’s
Happy Thursday, wonderful peeps!
We’re so close. SOOOOO close to a holiday weekend. That glorious fact makes me all kinds of happy. Sleeping in. Eating. Celebrating. It’s all a mere 2 days away.
We can do this.
I know a grocery trip (or two) are in your future in preparation for your delightful Labor Day plans. Or work week lunches. Or school-packing endeavors.
I don’t know about you, but I spend an incredible amount my week at grocery stores. I secretly love it, though. Perusing through all the aisles, picking out my favorite items to concoct my favorite meals, snacks, and desserts.
It’s better than Christmas.Read More

Banana Bread Granola
Call me crazy, but I love mornings.
My internal clock always goes off at 6 AM, so I almost always am up to an early start. If it’s a work day, I’m getting dressed, doing the whole makeup and hair thing, making Mark and me breakfast, and slowly easing into the inevitably crazy day ahead of me. Truth be told, I’m at my most productive in the mornings; therefore, I always try to pound out as much of my to-do list as possible before noon.Read More
Thai Peanut Burrito Bowls
I’m a huge fan of keeping meals as simple as possible during the week.
I don’t know about you, but by the time I get home from work on a Tuesday, my brain is pretty much fried beyond the point of talking, let alone putting together an impressive, elaborate meal.
For this reason, Mark and I get into meal ruts. Bad. We make the same roasted vegetable salad every week, at least once a week. We always have some sort of Mexican food, whether it be burrito bowls or tacos. We always have popcorn. It’s hard to change it up when we have these tasty meals down to a system.Read More
