What do you get when you combine smooth, chocolatey ice cream with
creamy peanut butter, crunchy Oreos & a drizzle of caramel?
One over-the-top, intoxicatingly delicious… ICE CREAM CAKE!
Nicole & I recently asked our {simply} facebook fans
what kinds of recipes they are currently looking for.
The general consensus was healthy & quick meals.
This salad is exactly that!
I almost hate to call it a salad…
because it is so much more with the added heartiness of cheese tortellini thrown in the mix.
It’s fresh, filling, and nutty with a hint of sweetness!
You have some options here, depending on your personal taste preferences:
… Kale or Spinach …
… Fresh Strawberries or Apples Slices …
… White or Whole Wheat Tortellini …
… Feta, Bleu, or Gorgonzola Cheese …
… Walnuts or Pecans …
… Balsamic Vinaigrette or Poppyseed Dressing …
Whichever ingredients you choose…
I promise you won’t be disappointed!
This meal is easy to prepare, ready in minutes & tastes incredibly delicious!
The perfect Spring or Summer dinner dish served with a side of
crusty whole wheat bread & a glass of your favorite wine!
We are quite fortunate to have Trader Joe’s stores here in California!
Luckily for the rest of the country, they seem to be spreading quickly!
Once you have the opportunity to shop there,
you will have a hard time returning to your usual market.
The selection of food is great…
especially for healthy items & specialty foods.
I love that they carry & label food products for people with special diets
{such as vegan or gluten-free}.
As a family, we do about 90% of our weekly shopping at Trader’s.
I personally love their produce & vegetarian options,
while the kids love their snacks,
& Husby loves their dried fruit, nuts & trail mixes!
Trader Joe’s seems so much more affordable for healthier food products.
I walk out of there weekly,
with my cart overflowing with groceries, for what I consider to be a fair price.
Although I have shopped there for years,
I still find new favorites all of the time!
I thought it would be fun to share with you several of the items
that make it into my cart each week,
along with a simple, yet scrumptious, dinner recipe {see below}!
