Michelle Parmigiani is a busy mom whose superpower is turning Trader Joe’s groceries into meals that actually survive toddler taste tests. She writes, 'If my boys aren’t thrilled with the protein in front of them, the introduction of a taco shell is like the wave of a magic wand.' Her arsenal includes chicken sausage, pesto chicken breasts, frozen chicken tenders (the green bag is key!), and don’t forget the yellow-corn taco shells. When raw meat scares her, ready-made jidokes like pesto chicken step in. Dinner might be chaos, but Trader Joe’s ensures it’s delicious chaos.
