Hello Trader Joe's



I was ecstatic to discover a Trader Joe's just a few short miles from our home. Right after visiting Will's school and my new O.B.'s office this morning, the boys and I scooted on over.
Not knowing too many people yet in Woodbury, Trader Joe's was like a breath of fresh air. One of their store people found us wandering the aisles and welcomed us to the town with flowers to take home. She also went out of her way to write a whole list of activities in Woodbury that the boys would enjoy! The checkout lady invited me to her mother's group this week. I truly love this store. Not only is the food good and wholesome, but it's such a treat to visit there! Woodbury is shaping up to be a very friendly city.
Here's what's on the menu tonight:

1 box Trader Joe's famous Cornbread Mix
2 can's Trader Joe's chili

Mix and bake for 25 minutes at 350. I'm also going to make one of my summer time favorites:

Mint Lemonade (fast version)
1 packet of Crystal Light Lemonade
2 Limes, sliced, squeezed and tossed in
Mint leaves, chopped finely

I know this meal doesn't go together whatsoever, but hey...I'm pregnant and crave weird things. After a long past couple of weeks, an easy dinner (and a restful evening) sounds amazing.
