Product Favorites & Dinner Idea

Man, life just never slows down does it?
Sorry Kristen & I have been blog slackers lately (come on Kris!)
She has been enjoying her month off of teaching piano and I have been busy with my first month OF piano!

* But let's get back to business here *

Remember how Trader Joe's is my heaven on earth? Well here are a few of my current FAVORITES.

* 100% Pineapple Juice *
This stuff makes amazing smoothies! I find Jess drinking it straight from the can all the time :)
And seriously with the cans?? How stinkin cute are they?

* Unsweetened Coconut Milk *
Gluten/Dairy/Sugar Free and Smells so delicious
 4 oz coconut milk + 4 oz pineapple juice + frozen fruit + flaxmeal or flaxoil = Favorite Breakfast

 * Chocolate Icecream made w/ Coconut Milk *
Dairy Free and surprisingly addicting :) They also sell strawberry

* Chile Lime Chicken Burgers *
Find these in the frozen section! They are healthy with all REAL ingredients
 Now obviously this messy pile of goodness is no masterpiece but let me tell you it was phenomenal.

Chile Lime Chicken NACHOS!

(This recipe made enough for 2 adult servings. If you use ALL 4 burgers, double the RED ingredients)
Ingredients:
These ingredients in RED are optional but highly recommended!!!!
* 1 mexican grey squash (or a regular zucchini works too)
* 1/4 c. chopped onion
* 1 T. chopped cilantro
* 1 small garlic clove, minced

* 2 TJ's Chile Lime Chicken Burgers
* TJ's Reduced Guilt Tortilla Chips
* Extra Sharp Chedder Cheese
* Pico de Gallo

Directions: If you want to take the super simple route, heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high flame and add the 2 chicken burgers. Cook through, crumbling burgers into taco-style meat as you cook. Construct a layer of tortilla chips on your plate, add SMALL amount of *Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, top with chicken, guacamole, and pico.

This time around I used my mexican squash that I had gotten in my Bountiful Basket! Heat oil in a large skillet and add chopped mexican squash (or zucchini) & onion. Saute for 5 minutes or so until softened. Add cilantro and garlic and stir for 1 minute. Add 2 Chicken Burgers and cook thoroughly, crumbling into taco-style meat. Layer goodness and directed above :)

*p.s. Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese has a much stronger flavor and taste than regular cheddar cheese, so you can use LESS but still get MORE flavor. WIN WIN Situation.

Thanks for READING!
