Try This! Trader Joe's Brown Rice Tortillas

In a perfect world, we would cook everything we eat in our own kitchens. We would always utilize the leftovers, compost the kitchen scraps, wash the dishes after every meal, and bounce along our merry way, powered by the nutrition flowing through our veins.

I live far away from that kind of world, and I’ll bet that you do too!

So, we go to the store, buy something with lots of packaging that’s exorbitantly priced, eat it, and vow to cook tomorrow.

If you’re not on a special diet, consider that kind of option a blessing!

For those of us with special needs, the grocery store is akin to Dante’s purgatory. At least it used to be. I have noticed within the last year that more and more products are available for people with special diets, particularly at Trader Joe’s. If you’re fortunate enough to shop at Trader Joe’s, pick up one of their special diet lists. There are gluten free, vegan and vegetarian lists available for easier shopping.

Some days, I just go and look around to see if there’s anything new. Just last week, I came across the brown rice tortillas! I’ve wanted to make Karina’s Millet-Buckwheat wraps for a while. I just haven’t had the time. So seeing the brown rice tortillas made me very excited. With them, I was finally able to make quesadillas (with lactose free yogurt cheese also from Trader Joe’s). I haven’t had one in two years. Now, I can check it off of the “things I haven’t eaten in a long time” list.
