The Smoothie Vegetarians

When life gets busy, it can be helpful to have some quick recipes and meal ideas to help with getting through the day. Here are some good ideas for when you want some delicious foods. These recipes can be helpful if you want to snack or you can make larger portions for a full meal. The first idea is a chicken alternative with an Asian themed side dish. Trader Joes seems to have a lot of good frozen options that can go well with this. Gardein can also be bought at a lot of grocery stores and it comes with a lot of good meat alternatives. I like to use either Gardein or one of the Trader Joes meat alternatives to make dishes like these. There is also Kung Pao cauliflower which is also really good. If you cook it for a bit longer than what the package says it will also ake the cauliflower more crispy if that is your preference. On the side I sometimes like to have some veggie spring rolls dipped in a spicy sauce. I will either pair this with rice or no...

If anyone loves going to Trader Joes as much as I do, they know that there are so many wonderful products there that you can find so much cheaper compared to other stores. I find so many new products that I love and my family has also been a fan of when I have prepared meals for them. We love going to Trader Joes and finding new products. It is a great store to find vegan products in as well and they are also mostly all clearly labeled.  (photos by Danielle) One of my all time favorite products is the tomato basil hummus dip. This has so much flavor and I love putting it in wraps, on crackers, and in pasta recipes. Let me know in the comments what you guys like using your hummus for? I have been using it in my recipes and not just as a dip and it adds so much flavor.  (photos by Danielle) I love all of the hummus dips that I have tried from Trader Joes and because of how wonderful the prices are, I will always load up on multiple types of hummus each ...

(photos by Danielle) Recently I have been loving trader Joes for so many reasons. One of them being that they have such delicious options. The other being that prices are usually really good and I can find some great deals there. It is also a wonderful place to find vegan food and it is not hard at all!! My family is also loving everything that I have been making for them, especially the food we find at Trader Joes! Everything is usually labeled with a “V” if you are wondering about a certain product. They have some amazing products that I would recommend that I have tried out over the past few months. I can not wait to share with you all what I have found!! (photos by Danielle) When I was off on holiday break in between semesters, I had a little bit more time to bake. So what I found was that Trader Joe's has cinnamon rolls. One flavor is plain and the other is pumpkin. I really wanted to try the plain but that visit, the pumpkin was all they had, so I ende...

So when we went to the store to pick up food for my family to eat during any of the upcoming football games, we found plenty of options. We did two products from Gardein which were the wings and the tenders. Both of these taste amazing and you can not even tell the difference. I also made some nachos which were absolutely wonderful.  (photos by Danielle) (photos by Danielle) ...
