Every Girl Has Her Secret Weapon!

So if you haven't figured it out by now, I love cooking. However, sometimes I just don't have time to cook. I mean, it's amazing that I cook as much as I do! So when you want to eat relatively healthy, can't cook and don't want to break the bank...what is a girl to do??

Trader Joe's - more specifically, the frozen food section.

I've been shopping at Trader Joe's on and off for a few years now and every time I go, I find myself hoping to find a reason to dislike it. I know, I need mental help. But I honestly can say that I've never found something there that I was not thrilled with, or at the very least, pleased with. More importantly, the food is dirt cheap!

Speaking of cheap - I have a side note to a previous post about almond flour! Apparently Trader Joe's sells a way cheaper package of almond meal, for about $4 as opposed to the $10 bag I mentioned. I learned about that from fellow Trader Joe's enthusiast Marianna, who happens to be my boyfriend's sister.

Anyway, back to the good stuff. Their frozen food section is full of delicious treats, appetizers and entrees that are gourmet enough to be served at a local restaurant. The quality is excellent and the options are abundant. I was inspired to write this post because tonight I didn't want to cook and I was thrilled with my dinner choice. Pizza Al Pollo Asado. It is corn masa with grilled chicken breast, refried beans, jack cheese and tomatillo salsa.

It was absolutely delicious, for 410 calories. The "pizza" is more like a bunch of mexican flavors on top of a semi crispy, but mostly cakey (which was good) corn cake. It was pretty large so I did NOT feel hungry after. I highly recommend this frozen item. I also highly recommend their french onion soup that almost rivals my own. Speaking of which, I think I will make french onion soup my next blog post! Healthy, yummy and delicious!

Until then ya'll!
