Sometimes, in the midst of a crazy week, nothing feels as good as a comfortable but cute outfit, yoga, and homemade food.
I enjoyed a homemade breakfast for the first time in ages since I took today as a rest day.
I enjoyed fresh strawberries with a side of Trader Joe’s Whole Wheat toast and egg whites. I microwaved the egg whites then topped them with mild salsa.
The few extra minutes to get ready meant that I could also try a new outfit combination and have time to change four times!
Unfortunately, my husband couldn’t take the time to take a non-akward picture. Oh well, regardless I was able to switch this skirt up by pairing it with a different top, shoes, and belt.
My work day was a complete blur since I started the morning in meetings at Macy’s and then ended the day in meetings back at the office. While I was sitting in meetings, poor little Justin Bieber was getting beat up by a crazy masked man.
By the end of the day, I felt about the same way this Bieber fan felt after waiting outside Macy’s Herald Square for two days straight.
Luckily, I had this lovely site waiting for me at home.
After a 20 minutes of shoulder opening yoga poses, I headed into the kitchen to whip up a homemade dinner. It’s been a long week for both of us and we agreed that even though takeout or delivery is easy, nothing tastes as delicious as homemade.
I was able to repeat Sunday’s beet and arugula salad with the leftovers in the fridge while Bo prepared lemon and garlic sautéed spinach and sautéed mushrooms. The main dish was Trader Joe’s chicken patties. These are seriously one of our favorite Trader Joe items. They are perfectly seasoned, our perfect cooked in a pan or grilled, and are healthy!
Now, it’s time to relax and let go with Hall Pass. Hopefully it’s good for a few laughs.
What is your favorite Trader Joe’s item?
my favorite Trader Joe’s product changes weekly, but I can’t live without their peanut flour. My smoothies wouldn’t be the same without it!
I saw hall pass and it is super funny and cute!
Definitely a tie between the 12-grain snack crackers and the tofu veggie burgers. The crackers taste like mini, healthier Ritz, and the burgers taste like potato pancakes! I like to make them with feta cheese and hummus for a quick and delicious dinner.
I love the Trader Joe’s Chicken Burgers too! SO flavorful and juicy. I was bummed the shelf was bare when I grocery shopped this weekend, I’m going to try to run over and grab more first thing tomorrow morning.
I have a lot of TJs faves — the frozen brown rice pouches are awesome, and their Wine Country Chicken Salad is perfect on a piece of crusty bread. This spring they had some really good Inside Out Carrot Cake Cookies — definitely a splurge but worth it.
This post makes me want to scream — Why don’t we have Trader Joe’s in Florida! So sad 🙁 Dinner looks so good!
I’ve been wanting to see Hall Pass — was it good?
I always pick up some frozen meals for the days I don’t have time to cook. There is an incredible variety, they are much cheaper than eating out and are decently healthy. I always grab frozen veggies and chicken too- easy to whip up a quick meal.
That’s a great idea! My friend keeps Kashi frozen meals in the work freezer and her home freezer which I’m going to start doing too!
