Trader Joe's opened up their first location here in Utah last weekend and my friend and I took a girls day and headed up there to check it out. I was so excited to go. I had to go down every aisle, I didn't want to miss a thing! One of my favorite things I bought was a black bean and quinoa corn chip. They were delicious and pretty healthy; not a lot of ingredients or additives. I think I may try making them on my own. Homemade crackers/chips, why not? I also grabbed some tomato-basil hummus to go with it--YUM! Two other favorite things I picked up were some portabello ravioli and some gorgonzola....mmmm gonna try and recreate a fancy dinner with the hubs from our pre-kid era. Of course, I picked up some more apple cider for more of these pancakes, as well as some brussels sprouts, still on the stalk!! How cool is that? Well, maybe not for you but you don't see that much around here. I can't wait to share with you all that I'll be making from this weeks spoils! Stay tuned...
