It’s a cold rainy Sunday afternoon as I’m typing up this post, and we are warm and cozy inside. I do think that fall food might just be my favorite… Here’s what we ate last week :

SUNDAY //

Honey Apple Cheddar + Bacon Panini + Trader Joe’s Tomato Soup
notes: I bought TJ’s already cooked bacon (in the deli section) to make this easy. I did not have apple butter, so I used the Apple Cider Jam from Trader Joe’s which was a little too sweet for my liking. Overall, though a yummy combo. And TJ’s tomato soup is forever my favorite grilled cheese companion.

MONDAY //

Gnocchi w/ Pomodoro Sauce
notes: this herb infused homemade pomodoro sauce was super delicious, and I love the change of pace that serving it with gnocchi provides instead of the usual pasta. I like TJ’s gnocchi available in the pasta section.
Autumn Kale Salad : swapped out the goat cheese for some feta and this salad was a winner for me. Yummy dressing recipe too.

TUESDAY //

Crispy Baked Black Bean + Sweet Potato Tacos
notes: we are trying to eat less meat around here and you really don’t miss it with these tacos. I used the white corn tortillas from TJ’s and honestly, they fell apart a little too much. I’m going back to flour tortillas next time. DEFINITELY make the fresh avocado salsa. The combo of the two is winning.

Salad / Chips+Salsa

WEDNESDAY //

Date Night | Kids had Nuggets/Mac n’ Cheese

THURSDAY //

TJ’s Dinner Hack : Orange Chicken Fried Rice
notes: Trader Joe’s freezer dinner hacks for the win. This was yummy and a refreshing change from the chicken and rice I usually serve to the fam…
