I went to Trader Joe’s! I stocked up on some essentials & picked up a few new things to try, too. Here’s what I got! Pantry Items Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce~ I use it primarily for my favorite meat sauce, or on top of meatballs & spinach for a quick dinner. Old Fashioned Organic Oats~ Not Paleo, but oats are gluten-free, and a good breakfast (or dessert) option mixed with coconut milk…
My simple, mess-free, foolproof method for crispy bacon every time. Make sure you save that liquid gold at the end to reuse as a delicious cooking fat!

That extra bit of time at…
I love my time away from school, work, and stress when I can relax & enjoy some time with my favorite guy…. my boyfriend! We always spend quality time together on the weekends; and with the holiday season just beginning, there’s lots of fun things out there on our “to-do” list!
