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…
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…
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…
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 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…
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…
I mentioned that Israeli couscous was one of my favorite Trader Joe’s food finds in the month of December, and several of you caught on to me teasing a yummy lemon couscous recipe. Well, the wait is over! Before the year 2020, I’d probably only ever had couscous two times in my entire life. Then, one of our sweet friends…
We don’t tend to be huge soup eaters in the Peiffer household, probably because it never feels cold enough in Santa Barbara for it. But, when we do commit to the soup route, we are definitely team thick and hearty! Potato leek soup checks both the thick and hearty boxes, without tons of heavy cream or added fat. It’s also…
Meal preparation in the Peiffer household usually looks something like this: Cook a large (sometimes complicated) meal on Sunday evening. Eat leftovers for at least 3 nights. Try to make it through the rest of the week with quick and easy meals that can be thrown together after work without too much hassle. Obviously, we try to incorporate variety where…
Am I the only one who buys bananas purely for the sake of letting them over-ripen on my kitchen counter? As the brown spots appear, so do the baking possibilities! Nope? Just me? Oh, well! I love a portable baked good that’s suitable for breakfast, snack, or dessert. These muffins are a spin on the banana bread my mom used…
