I had one specific thing that I wanted to talk about and now it's the end of the day and I can't really be bothered, so I had to think on my feet a bit.
Oh!I tried a new recipe from a Cooking With Trader Joe's cookbook..Go Go Mango chicken.Literally all it was was mangoes, pineapple salsa and chicken breast.Really really good.
You don't have to use ingredients from Trader Joe's(for those not familiar, Trader Joe's is a specialty grocery store. It's known for having good prices and a really good selection of a lot of different things),but there are some things that are specific to Trader Joe's that you can only get there.
One upside of the Trader Joe's cookbooks is that the recipes are relatively easy-I am not a big fan of recipes that have a ton of ingredients and a ton of steps.Simplicity is a good thing where cooking is concerned.
Mind you, you're reading the blog of someone who has several of her favourite recipes memorised(Shepherd's Pie comes right to mind-it's easy to make.I've actually made a tweak to it in the past few years-I use fresh, sauteed mushrooms instead of jarred mushrooms which-for some reason-are difficult to find. The fresh sauteed mushrooms taste so much better in there, in my opinion.(I also use Durkee onions-like what you put on top of green bean casserole) because I hate cutting onions.
