Trader Joes Easy Dinners

Tacos to the Rescue At the risk of sounding smug, this is what I’d call a “stupid easy” dinner. It’s one of those set-it-and-forget-it wonders that makes your night stress free. Or at least the dinner prep portion of your night. This is my answer to late baseball nights, busy work weeks and general chaos….

Buffalo Chicken Wings

Thanksgiving week meal plan

Buffalo Chicken Wings (Whole30 and Delicious!) Crispy, tangy, salty, crunchy. My mouth is watering just remembering these indulgent bites of buffalo chicken wings.

Fish Tacos

weekly meal plan

Growing up in Southern California, I love good Baja-style beer battered fish tacos. This is a healthier, quicker alternative that’s easier to clean up. Keep all the condiments on the side and let kids or guests top their own tacos.

Simple Roasted Salmon

Simple Roasted Salmon

Simple roasted salmon to the rescue! Roasted salmon keeps the mess off your stove and in the oven. No more splatters of fishly smelling oil hitting your stove and counter top after sautéing filets in a pan.
