This is our comfort food. This dish is full with flavor and rich in healthy ingredients.
Start by sauteing garlic, shallots and TJ’s seasoning in olive oil. Then add roasted red peppers and fresh or canned cut tomatoes. Finish it with fresh basil, oregano and italian parsley.
I add red pepper flakes for some heat. Make plenty, this dish is great served as a leftover lunch.
It’s complemented nicely with a rich Cabernet or a spicy Zinfandel.
Fusilli comes from Italian meaning ‘little spindles’.

Almost any veggies in your fridge sauteed with olive oil. Add peanuts and seasoning and mix in Trader Joe’s Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce and hot oil. Add phad thai rice noodles to the mix and viola!
Perfectly matched with spicy Zinfandel.
Spanish Rice

This vegan Spanish Rice dish is full of sweet and savory ingredients that can be eaten as a meal in itself. We like to add this to our vegan burritos for extra texture and substance.
First I saute onions, seasoning and chili flakes in olive oil. Then I add the rice to lightly coat and cook it for a few minutes. I add a can of tomatoes using most of the liquid in the can and add as much extra water as needed. I cook until all liquid has evaporated or about 20 minutes.
