Trader Joes's- Indian Fare Palak Panneer Product review!

Hey guys,

I decided to start a new section of my blog on food product reviews. I love to try new things from Trader Joe's because most of them are absolutely amazing, but some are a waste of my time so I thought I'd share with you my opinion on all their products so you don't have to waste your time buying it :).

First one is their traditional Indian Fare Meals. The one I'm making today is the Palak Paneer.

All you do is boil some water and submerge the unopened package in there for 3-5 minutes.

The only thing I dont like about this so far is the sodium. 36%.. I don't really need to worry about sodium since I'm young and I dont need to worry about that kind of stuff yet but I would not recommend this to anyone who is wanting to keep their sodium in take down.

This seems like a pretty salty meal so I'm going to be using the Sonoma low carb wraps and some Prepackaged coleslaw with oil and vinegar for a full healthy meal.

I'm only going to eat HALF of the Indian fare meal as one serving is only HALF A PACKAGE NOT THE WHOLE THING =)

After trying, definitely liked it. Very spicy, my mouth is on fire! And I eat quite a bit of spicy food. I would recommend this one, but I think next time I will try a different flavor. I have the Madras lentil in my cupboard that I will be trying later and I'll do a review to let you know if it is better. I wouldn't have this by itself. I definitely would have a salad and some  bread or wrap to go with it as it is just kind of a big mush that needs to be eaten with something that has substance :)

Doesn't make me feel gross after, I feel pretty satisfied, try it yourself, Cheap and yummy ;)

Trader Joe's- Sonoma Carb Cutting Tortillas Product Review

Hello!

Just wanted to share with you a new product that I'm obsessed with. Why? Because they are low in carbs, and amazing. Sonoma Cab Cutting Wraps are from Trader Joes, about 2 bucks a pack and you get 6 tortillas in a pack. I will use these to put my Vegetarian Chilli in if I'm looking for a fuller meal, or I'll bake it and break it up and use as tortilla chips for snacking :)

I love them because they have that satisfying tortilla wrap taste, but only 60 calories and11 grams of carbs!! 7 of them come from fibre... amazinnnng!

Use these as a replacement for naan bread (like with the indian fare meal), tortilla, hot dog bun or chips! Delish. And stay skinny ;)

Spaghetti Squash Bake

Its Monday, time for another healthy Monday night dinner recipe :) Today I'm making a low carb recipe. Spaghetti Squash bake. I like this recipe because I already had all the ingredients (except for the squash) so I didn't have to go searching for some weird health food item. 

You'll need:

1 spaghetti squash
2 TBPS margarine
1 TSP Fresh thyme (I used dried, but everythings better fresh)
1 Small yellow onion
1/4 TSP Red pepper flakes (I like HOT AND SPICY so I put more)
1/2 Cup light sour cream
3/4 Cup Cheddar Cheese

1. Cut the squash in half, remove the seeds and place it face down on a dish filled with 1/4 Inch of water. Put it in the microwave for 10 - 12 minutes. You can also bake it for 45 mins if you have the time but microwaving works just fine.

2. In a skillet on medium heat add the onion, margarine, thyme, red pepper flakes. Stir occasionally until onion is browned slightly in color.

3. Scrape the insides of the squash into a large bowl. Add the sour cream, cheese and onion mixture. Mix until well combined.

4. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and flatten out so its evenly spread. Springle some more cheddar cheese on top.

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy :)
