OK, here's one for you guys. Since Trader Joe's has been on everyone's radar lately (ever since James & Laura™ told us about the store last year we've been addicted. OK, I admit it was initially to stock up on 3-buck chuck, but we discovered other glorious products in the store, too) I thought it would be cool to share what we all have found that's great from the store.
Please share your comments under this post. I have enabled anyone to make a comment, which means you don't even need to be a "follower" or logged in any sort of account to do so :-)
My list:
- Dried wild blueberries (I put these on cereal and in yogurt. yum)
- Their boxed pureed soups. These are invaluable in my kitchen. I cook rice and other grains in the soup, eat the soup as-is (lived on it when I had my wisdom teeth out), and embellish the soup with other delicious ingredients. I often keep a box in the refrigerator at work for easy lunches.
- Blocks of parmesan cheese (cheapest anywhere)
- Their pineapples - pineapples in most area grocery stores tend to be overripe and leave that weird acidic taste on my tongue. Trader Joes pineapples are green, like they should be.
- Bourbon vanilla (haven't bought any yet, but I'm aching to try it)
- Their dressings in general - the sesame vinaigarette is good on salads and meat. The poppyseed is equally fabulous, especially on coleslaw.
- Their "puffed" sugar snap peas. Just try them. (I was introduced to these in my birthday basket - thanks J&L™!)
- Ginger senbei snacks. Just try them. (I was introduced to these in my birthday basket - thanks J&L™!)
- Their multigrain tortilla chips - the gluten free ones. Love these lots.
- Trader Joe Salsa. The garlic kind.
- Their frozen naan
- Frozen mango chunks - fabulous for desserts and pureeing with coconut milk for a killer topping...
I'm sure I will think of more items...

ReplyDeleteAh yes, the cereals. I'd almost forgotten. Delish. It was also a good reminder to bring home soymilk :-)
