Hey Lovers!
It's the wonderful month filled with pink, red, and white shaped heart-shaped everything! My donut addiction even comes dressed up in my favorite shape and colors! My darling fiance sent the most gorgeous bouquet of pink and red roses. He's in Boston and I'm in Chicago, so our actual Valentine's date will have to wait until the next time he visits;) I hope everyone had a lovely February 14!
Anyways, I find myself shopping exclusively at Trader Joe's these days as it is the closest market to my apartment in the city. You won't find the typical items as you would at your regular grocer, but it makes you want to try new things for sure. So to cure my usual peanut butter by the spoonful cravings I get every so often (okay, every day!), my taste buds decided to take a somewhat "grown-up" turn.
I'm so happy I did! A tub of Trader Joe's almond butter with flaxseed has three ingredients. Yup. Forget about all the unpronounceable words consisting of 4 our more syllables. A simple ingredient list consisting of almonds, flaxseed, and sea salt. No preservatives or artificial colors...how refreshing! All you will find is natural ingredients and the flaxseed gives it that extra crunch! This is also a natural source of Omega-3's! Not only is it so addictive, but so much healthier and natural than the popular brands. For only $4.99, you get 16 oz. of this delight! I love this by the spoonful, but I love it on a slice of TJ's San Francisco style sourdough boule too... ahhhhmazeballs!
Thanks Trader Joe's for making eating better so much easier. Next review will be the vegetarian corn dogs! No, I'm not going all vegetarian on you; I have reduced my consumption of meat substantially and haven't eaten any for some time now. However, I will eat a burger or rotisserie chicken if I'm in the mood for sure! I'm just exploring this world of vegetarian alternatives, and so many delicious options, I'm impressed by all the tasty options!
XoX,
Marikym
