Freezer cooking!

Tonight I made thai green curry with chicken, vegetables, and jasmine rice. All the ingredients were Trader Joe’s semi-prepared food.  It’s a great meal to make as a college student.  I sautéed the chicken and vegetables in a little bit of olive oil, covering the pan occasionally to help steam the vegetables.  Then I added the thai curry simmer sauce and continued cooking.  I microwaved the jasmine rice as directed and put the chicken and vegetable curry on top.

Shopping list:

• Trader Joe’s “Just Grilled Chicken Strips”
• Trader Joe’s “Harvest Hodgepodge”
• Trader Joe’s Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce
• Trader Joe’s frozen Organic Jasmine Rice

Local: Garlic, onion, potatoes and carrots. Plus broccoli, garbanzo beans and not pictured rice and lentils. But being vegan is so expensive. #vegan #veganfood #whatveganseat

I got these babies at Costco today!  I think they would make a great breakfast for when I’m in the office.  It has oats, dried cranberries, raisins, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, cranberries, and cinnamon.  I can make it in the microwave in the office.  I’ll let you guys know how it is when I try it!

Dinner on campus because I’ll be stuck in this library until I dieeee…

Create your own smoothie with yogurt, banana, raspberries, and mango (2 fruits, 1 milk)

Tofu, black bean, bell pepper, onion stir fry (3 proteins, 1 vegetable), Bitter greens (1 v), Roasted sweet potato wedges (3 carbs)

I would love to try this over some quinoa or another grain!  I think that this would make a great meal to make the night before and take to school/work/university.  Depending on how much of everything you add it could be 3 carbs, 2 proteins, 1-2 fats, 2 vegetables.

My grocery store just started stocking a new brand of greek yogurt, so naturally I had to try it!  I really liked this flavor and it was a lot more interesting than the plain peach flavor that I usually buy.

I made dinner for my family tonight!

• Chicken and turkey sweet pesto sausages from Trader Joes
• Roasted Root Vegetables
• Farrow with course pesto
• Kale chips (not pictured because we ate them too quickly!)

My breakfast was so cute!  Also, I’m learning to eat the yolk part of eggs.

I think that this was the yummiest smoothie I have ever made.  It was a bit too large for my blender to handle properly.

• 1/2 banana
• fresh strawberries
• frozen mango
• frozen raspberries
• a splash of grapefruit juice
• a cup of plain greek yogurt
