A yummy vegetarian meal, prepared in less than 20 minutes, thanks to Trader Joe’s!
I mean, you might tear into bags of these pre-made yums from Trader Joe’s as well as devour them as they are, however why do that when it’s so simple to make ’em even better?
For the record, I like hacking TJ’s products as well as making them my own. I did it this week to make a tasty veggie meal. I made cauliflower gnocchi with Parmesan as well as basil, then added it to a salad with crunchy ranch-flavored chickpeas as well as corn, all utilizing stuff from TJ’s.

It was truly easy, too. I started making it ideal as El Hub took Connor out to play, as well as it was totally done as well as plated when they got back 30 minutes later. All we had to do was sit down as well as eat.
I liked it, El Hub liked it, as well as the infant liked it, too. She gobbled down every last bite.
If you want to provide it a try, you’ll requirement a few things…

So, all I did was dump the salad mix into the bowl, minus the feta cheese that includes the kit, considering that El Hub isn’t a fan. Next, I utilized a knife to eliminate the corn kernels from a single cob as well as cooked it in a non-stick pan with a bit olive oil. then I seasoned that with salt as well as pepper (canned or frozen corn would likewise work). threw that into the bowl with the salad. then I added a couple handfuls of the Ranch Chickpeas as well as mixed whatever together with the packet of red white wine vinaigrette that includes the salad.
Separately, I cooked the cauliflower gnocchi in a pan, which is what TJ recommends…
It was truly extremely easy! I steamed the gnocchi with water for about 8 minutes, as well as when the water was gone, I added a pat of butter as well as about a tablespoon of olive oil.
I let the gnocchi crisp to a golden brown, which took about 5 minutes. Took the pan off the heat, let it great for a couple minutes, then mixed in Parmesan as well as chopped basil.
Definitely going to make this again, as well as next time I’m going to slice up some TJ’s Smoked Andouille poultry Sausage (has some kick to it), as well as add that as a side to round it out a little.
Yummy! I hope you provide it a try.
