A blog reader recently asked me to share my favorite paleo foods I buy from Trader Joe's! I thought that was a great idea. In the past I have shared a Trader Joe's Top 40 Favorites, but a lot of it I don't actually buy myself. It was a "Most Popular Trader Joe's Items" kind of list that everyone loved. But when I personally shop at Trader Joe's I stand there and read all the labels, some I know without even picking up that the item it isn't paleo. A pizza sauce for instance might have some sneaky sugar in it, even sausages and other foods you wouldn't think have sugar do! So if it is packaged ... Read More

Trader Joe’s Shopping List- Top 40 Items
We love a stop at Trader Joe's! It doesn't feel like grocery shopping to me. Because I really do not enjoy grocery shopping, but I like Trader Joe's.

Quick Healthy Dinners- Favorite Things from Trader Joe’s
The other night I was looking what to make for dinner that would be QUICK- HEALTHY- WHOLE30 or PALEO. Did I mention quick?? Because come 5 pm sharp my kids are ready for dinner.
