Trader Joes

Mangoaddict

I Trader Joes. I think it deserves a thread of its own. Don't you think? Let's share all our trader joes food experiences, products, recipes etc. in this post. What you liked, disliked?

I just bought their homemade "bakery" granola and it is yum! I also love their naan bread.
I just can't get enough of the store.

Any other lovers of Trader Joes?

Can of Chill

Cook up the chilli, take a tortilla spoon a small size of chilli onto the tortilla and throw a few chips and toss a small amount of cheese. Roll it up, and eat. YUMMY!

I guess I'm out of the loop...what is Trader Joes? Is it a grocery store? Is it a health food store? I've never heard of it.

jojo52610

Me either - what is it?

Specialty store with all kinds of organic and interesting foods and health products. Premade hors d'oeuvres, stuffed lobsters, salads, special breads - awesome store!!!

I absolutely love Trader Joe's.

They have the best packaged salads, pearl tomatoes, shredded carrots, and crimini mushrooms...it's so easy to put all of it together and the end product comes out looking like salads that are served a nice restaurants.

I love the frozen chicken breasts. I think they come in a package of 6 to 8 breast...there's no thawing required, so it's really convenient! I just throw my seasoned chicken into a frying pan with a lil bit of PAM, cover it to cook thoroughly, then I take off the lid to brown it...very yummy and really close to having a grilled chicken! I love putting that on my salads!

I also love their brown basmati rice, stir-frys, mushroom risottos, edamame, individually packaged almonds snacks, wheat spahgetti...I can go on and on!!!

Trader Joe's is the BEST!!!

DeannaK

I love Trader Joe's too...but I rarely go because it's a little out of my way. Our family LOVES the Hemp cereal (Not the pumpkin flavor one though). I love the frozen chocolate bananas....peanut butter filled pretzels are the bomb but those are not allowed in the house. Too many good things to mention!!

We don't eat it, but it is a family tradition (9 years!) to get the holiday gingerbread house kit. What a bargain and so simple.
