This meal was 100% inspired by the sampling counter at Trader Joe’s. Thought I would share it since the kids loved it and I had dinner on the table in literally 14 minutes. Can’t get any faster than that.

 

Whip this one out when you don’t feel like cooking and need something fast. Hope you enjoy!
