I love a good fillet! What I don’t love is the price when I order one. Here is the perfect solution …. make it at home! Trader Joe’s has amazing fillet at under $11 for two fillets!!! Now you can enjoy this protein packed treat every night if you want. I pair it with a delicious mushroom risotto that I mix with fresh spinach in order to add a healthy dose of veggies into the one-pan dinner.
Sometimes it’s nice to get new ideas for dinner, especially when it is proven to be delicious and a time saver. I am here to share my finds with you! They may not be made from scratch, but they are made with love.
