Tomato Soup with Tortellini and Mushrooms
This meal is one of those Trader Joe’s hacks. Or one of those [insert grocery store name here] hacks, for that matter. Simply heat up some creamy tomato soup on the stove. While that’s warming, cook up some tortellini. While both of those are getting ready, saute some sliced button mushrooms in a separate pan. Once…

Read MorePasta with Creamy Parmesan Sauce
This one’s for all my gluten free vegetarian friends out there. Or just people who like delicious things. I recently bought some interesting looking pasta made from black beans at Trader Joe’s. The problem was, I decided I wanted to incorporate it into my supper very last minute and didn’t really have any ingredients to make…
Read MorePesto Chickpea Salad
And now I present to you one of the easiest salads ever. Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas. Gently toss with store-bought pesto, crumbled feta, julienned radishes, and quinoa. I bought the pesto with quinoa from Trader Joe’s, which means I took the extra easy way out; however, you can very easily cook up…
