One of my favorite condiments is chili oil. Trader Joes’ new Chili Onion Crisp is a favorite on almost anything. But when paired with honey to make an amazing glaze it is a game changer! Paired with homemade pickled raisins, this carrot dish is sure to bring the sweets and heat! 

In the baking mood? Pat thinks you should bake these and he believes you will love these so matcha!

One of my favorite guilty pleasures is chicken fingers. But ever since going gluten free its hard to find healthy chicken strips that also taste good. Most are soggy without any flavor. This is why plantain crusted chicken is the perfect solution to both bad textureand lack of flavor that many healthy chicken strips have. These chicken fingers are crunchy, crispy, sweet and salty, and packed with flavor. Super easy, and a crowd pleaser whether you are cooking for your kids, or snacking for yourself! 

This is a delicious cold salad that is light, but brings all the flavors! Perfect as a stand alone meal or a side to compliment a bigger meal. Just in time for those warmer months!

I put the new bomba sauce from Trader Joes on pretty much everything. Here's an easy pasta recipe combining all things bomba with shrimp and pasta. If you like some spicy heat, then this recipe is for you!

Pat loves pesto, especially when it's homemade! This recipe is so easy to make, you can use it to accompany your favorite pasta, on meat, or fish! All ingredients can be found at Trader Joe's and Pat hopes you enjoy!
