The cheddar & horseradish chips pack a punch and have serious flavor. The raisin rosemary crisps pair perfectly with pretty much any type cheese or chicken salad. The pastry bites with feta and carmelized onions are an easy app I plan on serving for Cameron and I while we cook our Valentine's Day dinner together.
We've been hooked on rice crackers lately and I've been buying them from Target. The amount that you get in the bag, however, for the price is ridiculous. It may last us 2 days. So I decided to try Trader Joe's out and for $1.99 a bag, they are less expensive and there are way more in the bag. I also bought ghee for my attempt to half-ass the clean eating thing.
Fat Free Greek Vanilla Frozen Yogurt + Chocolate Lava Cakes = Valentine's Day desserts. Keeping the Vday meal easy and delicious! Need to make sure I make it to the gym Saturday morning.
Love TJ's! Last time I was in they gave me a sample of mochi. It was so weird, but I loved it. Kind of like ice cream wrapped in rice flour. I'm picking up a box on my next visit.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things! Currently I have to buy the frozen edamame (a really good and easy snack) and the mini chocolate covered pretzels.
ReplyDeleteExcellent picks! I am a fan of the frozen Macaroni and Cheese (duh). The turkey meatballs and anything from the cheese area. Ha. I also like the jalapeno cheddar wraps. I also buy grapeseed oil from there as well as regular spices.

ReplyDeleteWe love their pita chip crackers and those pastry appetizers are perfect for unexpected guests!
ReplyDeleteto half ass the clean eating thing, haha! keeping it real. hmm from tj's lately...definitely the dried apricots (they're pretty good) and a lot of the bagged greens. i also love their feta.
ReplyDeleteOmg, I need your whole cart! This all looks so good!
ReplyDeleteWe dont go to Trader Joes enough...they have such good stuff there!
now im really hungry :) tj's has the best goat cheese!
ReplyDeleteLove me some TJs. It's not the most convenient for us to shop there, but love their produce and cheeses.
ReplyDeleteI am so sad that the closest TJ's is almost two hours from me! When I'm near it I always pack my insulated bags to stock up, though. Now you've got me wanting to try the rice crackers!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those raisin crisps. You're doing better than I am at the whole clean eating thing... I've never even heard of ghee. ha.
ReplyDeleteThese items sound great! I always get slightly overwhelmed in TJ and end up leaving with chicken fried rice, trader jose beer and random bottles of wine haha! The lava cakes w/greek yogurt sound great for v-day dessert! We're doing a big lunch and brewery tour on vday so that night I want to serve some light apps and dessert - thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try your picks when I go this weekend. I LOVE their Kettle corn (comes in a big pink/white bag). I recently bought their cookie butter cookie sandwiches and they are AMAZING!! Also love their pre-made salads. These are great for an easy to grab light lunch or side dish at dinner. Non food related, I am obsessed with their lavender dryer sheet bags. They are amazing!! And it goes without saying, they always kill it in gorgeous and affordable flowers!
ReplyDeleteThose rosemary crackers are some of my favorites! I also really like their honey wheat pretzels and for non-food their hand soap and candles are really good.
ReplyDeleteYou should totally try the coconut pancake mix if you see it next time. I kind of gave it the side eye for a few trips, but finally bought it last week and ho-lee-crap is it amazing! Now I dream about it.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try that chicken salad. Is it any good?
ReplyDeleteI haven't been there in FOREVER but keep meaning to make a run. All of the stuff you got looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the sweet potato, butternut squash and kale pizza!! They had samples out one day and I tried it and so yummy, I bought three. So cheap and easy for a weeknight meal when we both work late or don't have anything in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteLove everything about Trader Joes! I always end up buying more than I expected. Their flowers, spinach and artichoke dip, and so much more! Xo, Stephanie
ReplyDeleteMy two favorite things are the black bean quinoa chips and the pineapple mango salsa that is next to the cheeses (not the kind in the jar.) Sooo good!
ReplyDeleteI almost got those chips yesterday! They sound delicious. Love the chocolate lava cakes + frozen yogurt. YUM
ReplyDeleteI love TJ's so much! I have never seen those chips, but I need to hunt them down!
ReplyDeleteThose chips are my favorite! I willhave to try the chocolate lava cakes. I love their veggie burgers for lunch. I put them on a bed of lettuce and a little feta! My favorite lunch! xo
ReplyDeleteI am going to TJ's tonight and I need to find those rice crackers, they have been my favorite snack lately, but I totally agree most packages have so few chips. My favorite TJ items are their garlic pizza dough and frozen spin art dip. I always keep these in my freezer, great for last minute meals and apps if we have people over.
ReplyDeleteI love the chocolate covered potato chips but they kind of defeat my purpose of shopping there for healthy food! :) I cannot resist them!
