Trader Joe’s Macaroni ‘n Cheese Hacks

Trader Joe's Macaroni 'n Cheese Hacks - DC Girl in Pearls

Sometimes, a girl just needs a cheesy, gooey comfort meal for one. While watching New Girl on Netflix. Winston belting out the Wicked soundtrack cracks me up every time. Every single time.

There are evenings when I love coming home and putzing around my kitchen to whip up dinner and test out a new recipe. Then there are times when the very idea of cleaning up and doing the dishes sends me frantically digging through the freezer for a microwave meal. We’ve all been there, am I right or am I right?

My boyfriend Trader Joe’s to the rescue! I love their reduced guilt macaroni ‘n cheese on its own but with just one single ingredient this microwave meal takes on a whole new persona. It’s pretty much magical.

Want some crunch? You got it: just crush TJ’s potato chips with South African Seasoning (tastes like BBQ chips). Extra cheesy magical delight? It’s happening with the Spinach + Artichoke Dip. Need some oomph? Jalapeño Chicken Sausage has it covered. If you’re a jalapeño fan like myself, candied jalapeños and Trader Joe’s Jalapeño Yogurt Cheese adds extra cheese and extra spice. Everybody’s happy.
