First, I just wanted to show you a small Trader Joe's haul from yesterday. I'm trying really hard to save money where I can so I'm going to be using up what I have in the freezer and pantry as much as I can so I kept my grocery list short. Here's what I got:
So for the haul I got some Strawberries, shredded hash browns, almond milk, my favorite raspberry, lemon and strawberry popsicles (I'm obsessed with popsicles right now!!), the Mango Coconut Pudding recommended by Vegan Peace, shredded carrots, a large cucumber, and a giant sweet potato.
This is the amazing dinner I had tonight!! I had some of the Trader Joe's chick'n tenders with some corn and a delicious salad with the Just Ranch dressing. You guys, this dressing is AMAZING!! I love it! I only ate about half of the corn, it was way too much and I don't know how I didn't realize it would be before I made it. If I were a little smarter I would have just thrown the corn and the tenders in the salad and eaten it like that but I guess that'll just have to wait for next time!
This is my beautiful, glittery planner spread for this week! I love how festive it is. And how glittery it is. So fun! I'm going to try a different style of planning next week and I've very excited to try it.
Finally, this little guy is going to be spending the night with us tonight. He gets really freaked out by fireworks and my brother and the family will be out late tonight so he is staying here tonight. TJ is fine with fireworks so he is home but they didn't want Tyler to be home with no humans to comfort him so I get to hang out with this sweet boy tonight :)
That's all for today! How did you guys celebrate the holiday? What is your favorite 4th of July meal or snack (or beverage if you are so inclined!). Let me know!
I'll be back in a few days with some yummy meals to show you. Lots of summer produce happening here! See you soon! <3
I love your planner! It is definitely very cheerful! Lucky you that you get to hang out with such a handsome little guy!!I'm so happy you found the mango coconut pudding, I hope you love it! Your meal looks delicious! I can't get enough of the Just Ranch dressing!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) Yes it was nice to get an extra day with him but he was so scared it was hard to watch because there is nothing I can do to comfort him until it is over. We cuddled and he was finally ok around 11.
DeleteThe pudding is so good! And that meal was perfect. So freaking delicious and next time I'll follow my own advice and just make it into a big salad.
I've got to try TJ's tenders. I love the Gardein ones, and they look very similar. And yes, chunking those in with the salad would be yummy. Just Ranch is THE BEST!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe TJs tenders are literally Gardein in a different package. At half the price! Definitely give them a try! I am so glad I found the Just Ranch dressing, it's sooooo good!
DeleteJust Mayo, Just Ranch... I need to get on board and buy them! The salad looks fantastic! Remy doesn't love fireworks either, so he and Tyler would've been snuggling together!
ReplyDeleteYes! I can for sure recommend the Ranch :) It's so good. Aww poor little babies, I hope Remy got through it ok!
DeleteOh Tiny Tyler is so incredibly adorable! He should never get scared of anything ever!
ReplyDeleteYou should try dipping the Tenders in some Just Ranch.
