Trader Joe's Faves

This frozen Mac 'n Cheese is fabulous. Everyone in my family loves it!

Our fridge in our home always has Hummus in it...perfect healthy snack for all. I especially like the Spicy Hummus. It's not too spicy at all; just great flavor!

The perfect companion for the hummus...great combo with very little calories.

I dare you to eat just one of these! So yummy!!!

A quick easy meal at our house that everyone loves is the pre-cooked pulled pork. 

We use these mini hamburger buns with the pulled pork. Broil them in the oven with some butter and garlic salt and place your pork on them and you've got yourself a yummy pork sandwich!

Best Marinara Sauce...good on everything!

My favorite breakfast...frozen Steelcut Oatmeal. Easy, fast and delish!

This gnocchi is so good. Another thing my kids love for lunch or dinner and it's super fast and simple to make.

This has to go down as my kids all time favorite dinner. They love this orange chicken and it's super easy to make as well. We usually serve it with the Trader Joe's frozen brown rice. 

Trader Joe's is my favorite grocery store. They have the most amazing quick-fix meals for my family and the yummiest, healthiest snacks. If you haven't been to a Trader Joe's before I would highly recommend you stopping in and grabbing some quick snacks. There are a ton more things that we love from TJ's and I'll add more of our favorites in another post.

What are some of your go-to items at Trader Joes? I'd love to hear!

Frames for Entertaining

I used these for Navy's luncheon after her blessing and have had many inquires on where I got them...

TOLSBY

White Frame for 2 pictures

 

Price:

$.99

Where can I get it?

IKEA

Why I {crave} it?

These are my favorite accessories for entertaining. Because they are cheap and add just the right amount of flare to any party. I just make my own cards on Photoshop to go along with whatever I need them for and slide them into the frame. So easy and cute!

A boost for your laundry

Downy Unstopables

Price:

$6.99

Where can I buy this?

Target, Wal-mart or other drug stores

Why I {crave} it?

If your looking for an extra scent boost in your laundry then this is it. I feel like the smell of fresh laundry fades pretty quick from my clothes/blankets etc. and with this new product I just discovered the scent lasts way longer. I prefer the "fresh" scent. Try it and let me know what you think. 

Soothies Gel Pads

Soothies Gel Pads

Price:

$10.99

Where can I find these?

Target. Babies R Us. 

Why I {crave} them?

I was just introduced to these from a friend and wish I would have known about them with my other two kids. They have been my lifesaver since just giving birth to my third child a week ago and nursing. They instantly soothe, relieve and help heal sore nipples from nursing. They provide instant, cooling pain relief and you can even put them in the fridge before you use them so they are extra cool. The only down side is they are a bit pricey. They only comes with 2 reusable gel pads and they are typically only good for 72 hours. But trust me, they are worth every penny. Grab yourself at least 2 boxes after you have a baby. You deserve it!

Best secret for great nails....

Nailtiques Top Shine

Price:

$10.00

Where can I find this?

Ulta, Sephora and most beauty supply stores

Why I {crave} it?

Don't you hate when you paint your nails and a couple of days later they are peeling and chipping already. When you apply nailtiques top shine as your top coat, your nails will last at least twice as long as they did before and still have that "freshly painted" look.

Spray Paint

Rustoleum Ultra Cover 2x Coverage

Price:

$2.99

Where can I find it?

the Home Depot, OSH 

Why I {crave} it?

Recently I have been in major nesting mode over at our house (early I know) so I have been re-doing a lot of my furniture to give myself a little home decor fix. This is the best spray paint if you want to paint almost anything and everything from furniture to picture frames. All you have to do is wipe down the item, start painting (light coats, not too close), paint 1-2 more coats and wahla! You have a brand new looking piece of furniture/decor. I typically only use 2-3 coats and have found that the Satin finish gives you the best most expensive look. I will post some of my projects I have recently done soon.

Subbies

Subbies Bath/Pool Toys

Price:

$7.97

Where can I find these?

Cost Plus, Amazon

Why I {crave} it?

I was just introduced to this toy by my good friend the other night and was immediately sold! All you have to do is twist it and it's motorized and cruises all over the pool. My boys loved chasing after the "penguin"  trying to catch it. This is a must have toy for every parent!
