"We'd consider these finds lifesavers for weeknight cooking, when a full-on pot roast is out of the question. These are all starters or meal elements, not complete dishes. That means you have flexibility on what to pair with them, whether that's a protein, carbohydrate, vegetables, or something else you prefer. But we will give you some ideas, too - all from Trader Joe's. Consider TJ's as one-stop shop for all your food needs."
"Making homemade lentils isn't difficult, but it's not like it comes together in a few minutes either. If you're pressed for time, we are pretty impressed with steamed lentils from Trader Joe's. You'll get a smidge over 17 ounces of legumes to use as you please. This can last for multiple meals if you're making dinner for one, but you'll likely use the whole pack when whipping up dinner for a family."
Life can feel hectic, making daily home-cooked meals difficult to add into busy schedules. Grocery stores like Trader Joe's offer relief with a wide selection of prepared and frozen items that function as starters or meal elements rather than complete dishes. These items provide flexibility to pair with proteins, carbohydrates, vegetables, or other preferences. Steamed lentils deliver over 17 ounces per pack with lentils, salt, and essential oils like clove, laurel, thyme, pepper, and garlic for flavor. One serving has 10 grams of protein, works cold in salads, heats into soups with broth and vegetables, or adds to lettuce wraps.
