One of my new favorite super easy dinners of late, brought to you by Trader Joe’s BBQ pulled chicken.  Bake a sweet potato— you can do this in the oven or in the microwave if you’re moving quickly. To bake in microwave, pierce with a fork and put in on high for 4 minutes on each side.  Top sweet potato with chicken and a dollop of sour cream.  Perfect with a side salad of tomatoes, corn, and avocado, and some pineapple salsa.  Busy midweek dinner perfection!

My new obsession: Trader Joe’s fruit sauce crushers. I went on my first 5-mile run yesterday, and I was wiped by the end. But when I got there, I popped out one of these small and delicious pouches, and refueled (in a much more natural way than many “gu” or gel packs provide). Plus, for $2.49 for a pack of 4, this seems like a must-do. As I continue to increase my mileage this will be a staple— with the ingredient list solely consisting of 4 ingredients, they are absolutely perfect!
