Happiness is……
Trader Joe’s. I may have to wear a mask. I may have to wait in a line that wraps around the building. I may not be able to get everything on my list. But I still look forward to my weekly TJ’s trips.

My go-to itmes that I buy over and over. New items I love + hate. Plus I’ve linked a shit-ton of recipes using Trader Joe’s items. Enjoy……
