What I Eat From Trader Joe’s

A few favorite quick and easy meals from Trader Joe’s that I like to eat. The Dutch Griddle cakes are my absolute fav and a great way to make a dupe McGriddle at home. Spaghetti Cacio E Pepe is good but Parmesan is the main ingredient. The mini lemon squares are soooooo good and addictive. If you love this classic recipe be prepared lemon squares in mini form is dangerously delicious.
