Trader Joe's guacamole chicken salad


Mix guacamole (I used leftover avocado and salsa pureed together) with Trader Joe's Healthy 8 veggie mix (see http://hiphome.blogspot.com/2013/03/trader-joes-healthy-8.html?m=1 for how to make yourself), add some of their premium canned white chicken,  roasted salted sunflower seeds and mix till desired consistency! Enjoy alone or in a sandwich.

Quick and easy jambalaya

Quick and easy jambalaya - makes 2-3 servings
Cut up and brown one chicken breast and one andouille sausage, set aside.
Cut up and fry until starting to brown:
4 small sweet bell peppers or 1 regular size
half an onion (chopped into small pieces)
fresh garlic, 3 cloves
6 or so grape or small sweet tomatoes, cut in half

you'll also need half a can of diced tomatoes, quick microwave rice and the following spices
1/2 tbsp of garlic powder, bay leaves, thyme
1 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste

as the veggies start browning, put the cooked rice in the pan and slowly mix in the spices. By thirds, mix in the half can of diced tomatoes until mixed thoroughly.

Enjoy!

Zooey's Nursery

I love how this turned out! My mom made the curtains and bedskirt, the butterflies and pictures above her crib are from Etsy, and everything else is either gifted or repurposed!
