I love a 4 step Trader Joe meal! Truth be told, I am pretty lazy with my cooking, but I do cook for myself the majority of the time. I am very easily influenced by Pinterest and videos I see online, which is where I got the inspiration for this recipe. I am not very original, but this is a wonderful formula to go off of if you need a last minute dinner that warms the soul and has some protein and greens included.

Let’s keep going with my series of ‘solo meals I cook in my apartment’! I guess I should just call this a ‘dump’ soup because I usually make this when I have veggies, herbs or a cheese spread in my fridge that I don’t want to go bad. This is also the easiest meal to make if you work from home! I will literally roast the vegetables while I’m in a meeting and then blend it all up afterwards. I definitely got the inspiration for this soup from a Tiktok creator, but I unfortunately do not remember who.

I’d like to start a new series here on the blog of quick and fast recipes that I love to cook in my apartment for myself. I am not the best cook, but I have been trying eat at home as often as I can to be healthy and save money. Honestly, I get most of the ideas for cooking from Instagram and Tiktok. And you will probably recognize the general idea for this recipe from Tiktok too. I love this meal because it only takes 20 minutes to make and has some veggies in it (I always try to have some sort of greens in every meal).

I’ve been enjoying trying out different recipes while I’ve been living on my own. Remember when that Tomato Feta Pasta was really popular on Tiktok? Well here is the autumn version of that. I also found this recipe on Tiktok (here’s the link) but decided to do my own little spin on it. This pasta is so easy to make and perfect for those chilly fall days. I also bought all of these ingredients from Trader Joes!

Woo-hoo single living! I have been enjoying my solo life in my own apartment. I’m a very lazy cook but when I find an easy recipe I like, I obsess over it and make it over and over again. Which is why I am presenting you with this gorgeous looking salad. It’s surprisingly filling and very easy to throw together.

Ahh the sweet, sweet smell of independence. And having to fend for myself. During my first week of officially sleeping and working in my new apartment, I decided to document everything I cooked for myself. I’m definitely not the greatest cook and I’m lazy at heart when it comes to food, but I was actually pretty healthy this week. If you’re a lazy cook like I am, check out some of these super easy recipes that did not cost me a lot of money to make. Each recipe probably took 20 minutes at most and I was proud of myself for being creative with what I had in the house. I didn’t go out to eat during the week (with the exception of the ice cream you see above) so let’s celebrate that! Check out the easy meals I made for myself during the first week I spent in my apartment.

I’ve been working from home for almost a year now and it’s honestly so hard for me to remember what life in the brick and mortar office used to be like. Life looks so different now than it did a year ago. But if there is one habit that has not changed since my little brother’s room became my home office, it’s that I am a huge snacker throughout the work day. I mean… what else is there to do when you never leave your house? Trader Joe’s is my favorite grocery store and I won’t rest until I’ve tried every food in there. I always like reading about people’s favorite TJ’s foods, which is what inspired me to make this post. Here are 5 snack foods you should pick up from Trader Joe’s the next time you do a grocery run.

In my typical style of sharing cocktails I’ve tried myself and enjoyed, I wanted to give you a few options for NYE that include Prosecco or Champagne. I made these cocktails a few days ago with my friend Peyton and all of them are delicious. They are also so easy to make and perfect for bringing in the new year!

This time last year I was enjoy Christmas cocktails out at the bar with the girls. Now we’re all stuck at home away from each other but at least I still have my virtual happy hours and my alcohol. I chose these six drinks because they are a holiday/Christmas twist to a very classic cocktail. No matter what alcohol you prefer- gin, vodka, tequila, whiskey… there is a drink on this list for everyone! I’m also very excited to share these nifty cocktail glasses I picked up at the thrift shop last week. I’m absolutely obsessed!
