Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 20 or until the kale is tender. I buy the big bunches of kale when they go on sale at Whole Foods and easily get 2-3 meals out of them and I ADORE the roasted frozen corn at Trader Joe’s. I’m not a professional cook! Just a regular gal who loves cooking and loves food!

For a quick pasta marinara, I like Trader Joe’s Marinara Sauce (it’s great right out of the jar), pasta, and a good quality parmesan. For rice pilaf, I cook Uncle Ben’s converted rice in broth, add a frozen vegetable blend (I use one with red and green bell pepper, carrots, onion, and celery) and cannellini beans.

In my opinion, the best apples for baking are all of the above, because they hold their texture well and don’t get grainy when cooked. No one in my family loves cooked apples by themselves. When you see a product you like in stock at Trader Joe’s, be sure to grab a few extra. You you’ll thank me later!

My husband takes fruit every day in his lunch, and I love to cook with fresh veggies and herbs, so we go through a ton of produce in our house! Shop at discount stores like Trader Joe’s and Aldi. My husband and I actually go to Trader Joe’s every weekend to stock up on some of our favorite produce items.

“Green spaghetti” is a favorite in our house, and is simply hot cooked pasta tossed with pesto and extra Parmesan – YUM! I buy my basil at the farmer’s marker or Trader Joe’s, so it’s very affordable. It lacks freshness, which is what I love so much about it. I also use it as a seasoning.

Use good olive oil and not cooking olive oil. In this recipe, I used Trader Joe’s Sicilian Selezione Extra Virgin Olive Oil , which has a peppery bite, so I didn’t add black pepper. It was our “table vinegar,” and it’s what I use the most in my kitchen. Extra-virgin olive oil.

I’ve been eye-balling these bags of broccoli slaw at Trader Joe’s for weeks now and finally decided to find a way to use them. Honestly, we often just sit down with a hunk of blue cheese, some crackers or bread and a bottle of wine when we don’t feel like cooking. The sharp flavor and creaminess are addicting.

We’ve been moving for the last three days, and every single part of my body hurts, I’m exhausted, and I did not feel like cooking. I used the Trader Joe’s roasted corn because it adds so much flavor, and it’s just one of my favorite ingredients. Cook for 10 minutes on a gentle simmer. Directions.

I've made a habit of saving the coffee canisters that house my favorite Italian roast coffee from Trader Joe's. This time of year I always overbuy on the bargain tomatoes and quick freeze them whole, using them for cooking throughout the winter. They are made of a nice, heavy cardboard, with a silver-foil lining on the inside.

You can find the mini potatoes at most grocery stores, but we like the Potato Medley at Trader Joe’s. I do this right on the baking sheet I’m going to cook them on. I assemble everything right on the baking sheet and can have it in the oven in about 5 minutes. Instructions. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 3.2.1275. .
