Trader Joe Goodies

This is a strange, very unique find. I've been hunting for these for months bc I saw it on instagram. It finally came to Dallas. It has a tart flavor like dried cherries but not as sweet. Lots of added sugar though, but you can't really eat that much in one sitting in my opinion.

This is really good salsa. I love the flavor and texture that the pumpkin seeds add.

Seafood Paella!!!

So, my husband liked it, i was ok with it... it was just too fishy for me. Which he is usually the one to call that out. Not bad though, they really load it up with shrimp, calamari, and mussels

Tarte aux Champignons - Flat bread with Mushroom, emmental and parmesan cheese

We were pleasantly surprised... liked it a lot more than we thought. Crust was very flakey. Good flavors. Kinda floppy though. Maybe would cook it a little longer?

This is why I love TJs! There are so many new and unique foods to find everytime I go!

Vegetarian Meals

Before my trip, I had a fun pot luck with my girls I made Jackfruit BBQ pulled "pork" Homemade Coleslaw dressing After returning... went straight to my sister's for Thanksgiving... Turkey, ham, pumpkin pie, etc etc. First cooked meal at home: vegetarian jap chae with Zoodles and Carrot Noodles with my new spiralizer. Augh, I don't know why my pictures don't show up on some posts... but I am too lazy to fix it AGAIN. :\

Bunch of cooking and baking

Making pumpkin brownies Recipe here All that turned into this. Honestly, the flavor was really good but coconut flour in this recipe gave it a kinda dense, chalky texture. Def would use regular flour instead. Always. Watching. Just fed up that I wouldn't give them some brownies Food haul? All my TJ goodies. Chocolate chunks were to make these with some leftover coconut chia muffins. Love this stuff. It's muop xao hanh la tom. This squash is what luffas are made from. I love it sauteed with green onions and shrimp. Seasoned with a little fish sauce. My mom mainly makes it into a soup which is really good too. Day old rice is the best to use for fried rice. Really quick one with celery, grated carrot, egg, and soy sauce

Roasted Cauliflower

An all time favorite. My father in law is a quiet man, but we know when he enjoys something. One day, I just chopped up a cauliflower, tossed it in olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper... then threw it in the oven at 450F for 30-40 min until nice and browned to your liking. The next day, he brought home 2 cauliflower heads.
