Healthy {Easy} Dinners!

I saw this on one of the (many) Trader Joe's fan accounts I follow on Instagram, so I can't remember where to go back and credit the account for the recipe!

Anyway, it is very simple. Sprinkle TJ's Chile Lime seasoning blend (not spicy, just flavorful) on the salmon fillets, and bake them at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until done and they flake easily with a fork.


Take a bag of frozen cauliflower rice and put it in a pot with a little water. Add a pat of butter, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt and pepper, and keep stirring for 10 minutes over medium-high heat.


Voila! Delicious and healthy!




Cauliflower gnocchi ... one of the cult favorites from Trader Joe's, and worth every penny! Oddly enough, you cannot cook these according to the instructions on the back of the bag. Click here to read about the three different ways that you can cook these, because if you follow the bag instructions, you will end up with soggy, tasteless gnocchi!

I sauteed these in olive oil, straight from the freezer, no thawing necessary. Take a few min and let them brown/crisp up. I topped with freshly grated Parmesan, sauteed spinach and a little bit of TJ's awesome kale cashew pesto sauce.



Wine, buttery garlic breadsticks that I bought frozen and baked up at home, salmon with either Trader Joe's ancho-lime seasoning, or garlic powder and lemon wedges, diced zucchini tossed in olive oil, garlic powder and black pepper and baked, diced portabella mushrooms sauteed in butter, heavy cream and Madeira wine, and white rice.
