Happy Wednesday! So for the past few months I have season at least a dozen of my friends post, tweet, instagram, snapchat and tell me about this amazing seasoning I need to try. Now I am an avid Trader Joe’s shopper and I am very lucky that there is one conveniently located only two blocks away from my apartment in New York City. Today I finally said I was going to see what all the hype was about and try out this seasoning on my chicken I was planning on cooking for lunch. From everyone that I spoke to and everything that I read online it said that you could basically put this seasoning on anything. I tried it today on a plain piece of chicken breast that I cooked with some coconut oil in a frying pan. I barely put any on the chicken out of fear of over seasoning and I am glad I did. With just a little seasoning on my chicken it was full of flavor and was so delicious that I wanted more after I was all done. Trader Joe’s you really hit this one out of the park! If you haven’t already tried this seasoning you need to right away. It can literally be used on just about anything to add a little something to your meal. Hope everyone is having a great day and for those of us in New York City stay dry! This rain always makes me want to stay in and cuddle up on the couch. <3
It’s Wednesday so it’s time for another hump day treat recipe for you all! Now every Monday night a bunch of my friends and I gather together to watch The Bachelor / Bachelorette / Bachelor in Paradise depending on the time of the year. One of my friends came up with the idea that each week we would rotate who would bring either alcohol, appetizers, main course and dessert for the week. If you cook the main meal one week that means the following week you don’t have to bring anything! The only problem is in our group we have a lot of allergies including gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian. Try finding a main course that fits all of those criteria’s people! Not to worry this week I found something that worked for everyone. Recently I got a slow cooker from my Mom and needless to say I am very excited about it. I decided to make vegetarian chili in the slow cooker for Bachelor night. Anyone else remember those infomericals where the guy said, “Set it and…FORGET IT!” That is how I feel about a slow cooker. I just put all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and set it on high for two hours and like magic it was ready to go. Thanks to allrecipes.com I was able to find the perfect vegetarian chili. There are a few changes I made to it personally. I didn’t add peppers into my chili and I also used a sweet onion when the recipe didn’t specify what kind. Here is what you will need:
