I live for the Veggetti. It’s this cute little gadget that makes veggies turn into spaghetti! It is so easy to use and takes less than one minute to spiralize one zucchini.
Once I spiralize it, I saute it up with some olive oil and sea salt, and add some type of pre made sauce. EASY. QUICK. HEALTHY. Right up my alley.
Today I want to share my newest discovery from Trader Joe’s. (Click here to see how I feel about Trader Joe’s.)
Hail to Trader Joe’s!
Because of that store I have been able to create healthy, incredibly delicious hot side dishes which I then reheat the next day for lunch.
But the best part is that they are SO EASY to make!
What makes them so easy, you ask?
Sometimes I have to state the obvious. So here goes: most store bought desserts are filled with crap. Preservatives, food dye, harmful oils, soy lecithin…you name it – they’ve got it!
But really – who has time to make sure homemade desserts are available in their house at all times?!
Enter 3 ingredient creamy peanut butter mousse.
Taco night. What is better???
I don’t think I ever met a person who isn’t psyched for taco night!
As a mom, I love it for two reasons. First, it’s dang delicious! Second, it’s dang easy!! All I need is that taco kit that has everything included (shells, seasoning and sauce), a pound of ground turkey (or beef), and toppings like shredded cheddar, avocado, lettuce and tomatoes.
Complete dinner in 20 minutes.
All good, right?
Not really. I always knew in my heart that there IS a price we pay for this convenience but I kind of sort of shoved it aside and held my ears and said “la la la la” whenever the thought popped into my mind!
Buzz kill alert:
I want to preface this post by letting you know that I do not receive any type of compensation for writing about specific food products. I am always trying new, healthy foods and get so excited when I find ones I love and want to report back to you and give you the scoop!
I am not a vegetarian. Yes, I love vegetables and eat tons of them, but I still enjoy meat sometimes too. That said, since I don’t make meat the ‘star’ of every meal, I like finding delicious alternatives.
Enter neat– a healthy replacement for meat.
