10 Frozen Meals To Buy At Trader Joe's That Will Cure You From Ever Going To Walmart Again

Instagram

Trader Joe's is easily one of my favorite grocery stores to shop at in Lexington. Even though it is a little bit more pricy than Kroger and Walmart, the selection and quality are what makes it worth the money. They hands down have one of the best-frozen food sections and as a college student, that means a lot. I really strive to eat very healthily for the most part, but there are days where I really do not have time to make a full-blown meal, so having these alternative options is extremely nice. The selection at Trader Joe's is like no other.

Most of the products that you find there you will not find at any grocery store. Throughout the holiday season, they sell some of the most unique jams that you can be used as spreads for your holiday parties. All of the Trader Joe's staff is so welcoming and helpful and I love the environment of the store altogether. They have a great mission at each and every one of their stores of the goal of donating a certain amount of food every year. It is great to have such a wonderful neighborhood grocery store that provides so much quality, healthy selections that are quick and easy. Here are the top 5 frozen meals to buy at Trader Joe's. Enjoy!

Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese

This is one of my top favorite meals to get during the fall holiday season! It is great for lunch or dinner on weeknights when I am super busy. I wish they had it all year round!

Asparagus Risotto

The asparagus risotto is my favorite! It has such a flavorful taste and goes great as a side dish for dinner!

Gnocchi al Gorgonzola

I have never had gnocchi until one of my college roommates introduced me to it. Trader Joe's has a variety of different Gnocchi's in the frozen section. You can't go wrong with any of them!

Mandarin Orange Chicken

I always find it extremely hard to make orange chicken myself and this fixes that problem for me. Trader Joe's Mandarin Orange Chicken is super quick and easy. Pop it in the oven and its ready for ya!

Chicken Gyoza Potstickers

A quick appetizer that tastes just like it came from a restaurant!

French Onion Soup Bites

French onion soup is one my favorite soups but is so hard to compare to restaurants, but this definitely does the trick. It is a great appetizer for hosting guests that everyone enjoys!

Pizza Margherita

A great way to get your pizza fix in!

Chicken Burrito Bowl

Such a great substitute if you don't have time to get chipotle!

Chipotle Vegetable Quesadillas

Quesadillas are such an easy fix for me on any type of day! Super easy to pop right in the microwave!

Spinach & Artichoke Dip

One of my favorite appetizers and tastes just like how I would at home!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
