pineapple and honey salsa

March 4, 2013 by nomilkmonday

After reading an insightful mini-article about the benefits of pineapple, I decided to actually use the freshly cut pineapple I was holding hostage in my fridge. Unable to actually just eat the fruit like a normal person – I’ve been wanting to add it into something for a tropical twist. Sure. I could have pureed it …. mixed it with a little cream, squirt of lemon, and trickle of honey for a sweet topping for my newest love of danish […]

mustard penne arrabbiata with arugula {trader joe’s}

December 10, 2012 by nomilkmonday

While taking (what I like to call) a mini vacation this morning in Trader Joe’s, I found myself drawn to the holiday mustards. I will gladly admit that it has taken me four trips to finally muster(d) {hehe} up the courage to buy them. I hate wasting items and I am constantly fighting the urge to purchase things that I simply want. So, in my first effort to begin this four-pack journey I thought to combine one of them with […]

(whatever is in your cupboard) cereal bars

September 27, 2012 by nomilkmonday

Now introducing …. (whatever is in your cupboard) cereal bars. Keep in mind that I used (precisely) anything […]

product: chicken-less mandarin morsels :: trader joe’s

April 1, 2012 by nomilkmonday

appearance: 9 texture: 6 taste: 9 VEGAN I used the “pan fry” directions and it came out lightly crispy with a rough baked edge. It could be mistaken for the classic McDonalds chicken nugget any day. The texture was a bit spongy as Trader Joe’s desperately tried to mimic a “nugget” texture. It could have been bound better with a firmer bite. The flavor was outstanding. I mean, we are talking about a […]
