Dinner and an Outfit

 Dinner was butternut squash ravioli with portobello mushrooms and a spinach/carrot/tomato salad.
We have had this ravioli twice now and it is so good.  It comes in a package in the refrigerated section and it's by Rana.  I just tossed it with a small amount of olive oil and topped it with some sauteed mushrooms.

H&M Gray Striped Tee

 These simple long sleeved tees have become my favorite thing to wear.  No matter what the brand, solid or striped, as long as they're soft and comfy I'm happy.  I can throw on one of my million scarves with them, ha...a necklace, layer a jacket or cardigan over them...and I've got my favorite casual style.

Blue Suede Loafers and More Trader Joe's Products

This is my second pair of blue suede loafers I've thrifted.  The first pair I had to re-donate because they ended up feeling too loose.  These Isaac Mizrahi brand ones seem juuuust right and, for $4.79, were a good price.  I find myself throwing these on a lot when I'm just hanging around the house.

 Here are some more Trader Joe's products we've tried recently.

The Kung Pao Tempura Cauliflower was a hit and cost $4.99.  We ate it over the Vegetable Fried Rice below which is $2.99. Very good.  I would eat this a couple of times per month. 
We eat the rice with lots of other dishes too.  Love the rice.

The Vegetable Biryani with Vegetable Dumplings was okay and a good price at $2.49.  It fed the two of us for dinner. I'm not sure we liked it well enough to purchase again, but it might be something I'd buy on a rare occasion for a change.

OOTD + New Trader Joe's Meal

Trader Joe's has provided us with another great addition to our meal rotation.  This week we tried the Kung Pao Tempora Cauliflower served over a small amount of the Vegetable Rice.  Yum!  We loved it.  I did add a tiny bit of rotisserie chicken to it.  We had this for a dinner and a lunch (for 2 people).  The cauliflower package says it provides 6 servings, but for us it provided 4 servings.  Well, 2 larger dinner servings and 2 smaller lunch size servings.

 We have a personal meal rating system for how good it is as to how frequently we could eat a particular product or meal.  This one rated at once every month or so.  I am actually craving it again now and could eat it more often that that. :)

Another product we tried recently was the Trader Joe's Vegetable Biryani with Vegetable Dumplings.
It was not bad.  I probably liked it more than hubby.  I would only rate this an every 3-4 month meal, but it's a decent option for variety.
