Blissful Bites: Trader Joe's Southwest Quesadillas

One of my favorite Trader Joe's items has to be their Southwest Chicken Quesadillas with Seasoned Vegetables.

These quesadillas are made with white meat chicken breast slices, monterey jack cheese, and an abundance of veggies! 

Just pop them in the toaster oven for about 10 minutes to heat them up and melt the cheese and you have yourself a blissful little meal. They come frozen, but if you defrost them by putting them in the fridge for a day or two before eating they heat up much faster. Great for lunch, dinner, or as a snack!  

1 serving contains 20% daily value* Vitamin A, 30% daily value Vitamin C, 30% daily value Calcium, and 10% daily value Iron.

Plus, because they are a Trader Joe's product, they are guaranteed to be Non-GMO.

This is something I get everytime I grocery shop at Trader Joe's.

Dining Bliss: Zoup's Toscana

Today for Lunch I had a Chicken Toscana Sandwich from Zoup's.

This was my first time eating anything from Zoup's and I loved it.


Ingredients: Chicken, roasted red peppers, marinated red onions, provolone cheese & basil mayo. Toasted on Ciabatta.


(I picked off the onions before eating.) 

This sandwich is a fantastic lunch item. The pieces of grilled chicken adds protein for energy, while the roasted red peppers give a rejuvenating punch of flavor. The touch of provolone is a subtle addition--it doesn't overpower the other flavors. And then there's the basil mayo--hands down my favorite part of the sandwich! The basil mayo goes extremely well with the bread, chicken, peppers, and cheese. 


In comparison to Panera Bread, I think the ingredients were just as tasty and fresh, but I've had softer, more unique, and more delicious bread at Panera Bread.

Still, I would definitely order this item again and again (without onions).

Dining Bliss: Panera Bread's Turkey Bravo Sandwich

Today my lunch was a bite of bliss.

I had a Bacon Turkey Bravo Signature Sandwich from Panera Bread.

Ingredients: Smoked turkey breast, bacon, smoked Gouda, lettuce, tomatoes & our signature dressing, on our Tomato Basil bread. 

Review: This sandwich is very impressive. I've had it a few times now, and the ingredients are always fresh. I usually like mayo on my turkey sandwiches, but Panera's signature dressing fits the flavors perfectly. The bread is beyond amazing. They bake their own bread fresh daily and you can really tell. Plus, Tomato + Basil = Bliss.

Beauty Bliss: ZUZU Luxe Liquid Liner

    When I first starting switching my cosmetics over to all natural products, I found eye pencil after eye pencil, but I wasn't finding any liquid liners. Then I found ZUZU Luxe Liquid Eyeliner in "Raven" and it was LOVE at first sight! 
    This liner goes on smooth and dark and lasts all day without the harsh chemicals. It comes in 0.1 oz/3ml and is available online for $14.85.    
    Definitely contributing to my Natural Bliss...
