Happy Friday, everyone! It’s time for one of my favorite posts of the month, where I get to talk about all things Trader Joe’s! Before I get into my April finds, let’s recap some of my March items that I hadn’t tried by the time my post was published last month. March Recap Mini French Baguettes – Can you even…

What We’re Watching
I haven’t done a post about what we’ve been watching on our streaming services in a few months, and that must mean we’ve watched hundreds of hours of TV and movies since then, right? We’ve spent many days parked in front of the TV for one reason or another, so we might as well share some recommendations! So what have…
Breakfast Casserole
I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a lover of casseroles in general, but when they’re of the breakfast variety, you can definitely count me in! This breakfast casserole is perfect for a variety of occasions. It’s a crowd-pleaser at brunchy potlucks. It’s a great make-ahead breakfast to portion out and microwave for busy weekday mornings. But my favorite time to eat…
Starting Our Balcony Garden
I have a guest author joining me on the blog today, and you guessed it…it’s Gary!! Back when I first started this blog, I semi-joked about having a Gary’s Garden series since he is usually the one who takes the lead on our balcony garden. Well, the day finally came! We started our balcony garden about three weeks ago, and…
Peiffer Plates – March 2021
I don’t know about you all, but I always love seeing what other people are eating. It helps inspire me to try new things, reminds me of hidden gems, or just prompts me to add items to our grocery list. And, since most of my camera roll tends to be food, I figured this would be a quick and easy…
Gary’s 30 Days of 30!
For those of you that don’t know, my handsome husband turned 30 earlier this week. How wild is that?? I’m married to a 30-year-old! I was wildly unprepared for a pandemic birthday last year. So much so that Gary had to open his presents in leftover penguin holiday paper. Needless to say, I wasn’t going to let Gary have another…
Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Since we indulged in my favorite Animal Style Fries recipe last week, I figured I should share something a bit healthier this week! For the longest time, green beans were our go-to veggie side dish. And don’t get me wrong, we still eat our fair share of green beans, but once Brussels sprouts entered our rotation, they quickly became a…
In-N-Out Animal Fries – Trader Joe’s Style
In case you missed it, I teased a fun new recipe, in my Trader Joe’s Food Finds – March 2021 post and I just couldn’t wait more than a few days to share it with you all. The minute I saw Magnifisauce in the store, my wheels started turning about recreating In-N-Out animal-style fries. Now, I want to claim that…
Trader Joe’s Food Finds – March 2021
It’s time for one of my favorite posts of the month, where I get to share about all my fun Trader Joe’s food finds! Per usual, before I go into detail about the new items I got this month, I need to give you all an update about some of the goodies from my Trader Joe’s Food Finds – February…
The One Where we Stayed Home for a Year
On this day last year, I experienced what working in an office felt like for the last time. Ever since I came home from work that day, I’ve been here. All. The. Time. With the exception of medically necessary appointments, grocery shopping (every 3-4 weeks), picking up takeout orders, and spending time away from other humans in the great outdoors,…
