Shaved Beef Sandwiches

This recipe is one of our go-to weeknight meals! The TJ’s shaved beef cooks up super quickly, which is why it’s a weekly staple on my grocery list!

Optional side dishes: Bagged salad, fresh veggies, french fries, tater tots

Orange Chicken and Fried Rice

Tuesdays are always crazy busy for me and this meal I don’t even have to think about! While the orange chicken is heating up, I like to cook some broccoli in the air fryer to have along with the fried rice!

I use two packages of orange chicken and two packages of fried rice to feed my family of 5.

Optional side dishes: Air fryer broccoli or another green veggie

Lobster Bisque Pasta

This recipe is the ultimate hack…no wonder it went viral! The TJ’s lobster bisque is the “sauce” for this incredible pasta.

I ONLY share viral recipes that are worth the hype and this one gets an A++!!

Optional side dishes: A nice green salad, or garlic bread for mopping up the amazing sauce!

Shawarma Chicken Bowls

If you haven’t tried TJ’s shawarma chicken, RUN and grab it! It’s so good. My favorite way to cook it is in the air fryer but you can also cook it up quickly in the oven or in a pan.

Making shawarma chicken “bowls” is my favorite way to serve it up, but you can also roll it into naan bread, pita bread, or even a tortilla

Optional side dishes: None needed!

Thai Wheat Noodle Stir Fry

This recipe using TJ’s Thai Wheat Noodles is always a crowd-pleaser because you can customize it however you like! In this recipe, I used ground turkey, but mix and match the meat and veggies however you like!

I also love this recipe because it gives me an excuse to pour on loads of the Chili Onion Crunch!

Optional side dishes: None needed!
