Sneak Peeks 📸 @traderjoestalk
Try stuffing a date with nut butter add a almond freeze it and melt some dark chocolate low sugar add a little coconut oil dip frozen dates in place on parchment paper sprinkle little sea salt back in the freezer! Your welcome! A nice sweet treat for at night! You can make it whole 30( I made them with 100% cacao no sugar the date makes it sweet! After whole 30 you can use HU chocolate
So much yes 🙌🏻 I’ve tried this except without adding in an almond but love that idea for an added crunch 😋 so delicious❣️
The brownies are the Bomb 😉 FYI if you don't like something you can bring it back if you've got the receipt. Used to be a Demo chef for TJ'S. I used to purchase flowers weekly for my front office. If my flowers didn't open, I'd let them know and they would honor it with the receipt.
YAY glad you enjoyed the brookie clusters 😋 They seem like they would be a hit! How fun that you used to be a demo chef 👩🏼🍳 definitely agree their return policy is GREAT but I do hate bringing things back because it slows down the line at checkout 😅 Thank you so much for watching and saying hello❣️
I too am a fellow crumpet lover!!! I love it with butter and jam and sometimes even the TJ lemon curd! haven’t tried the gluten free one but now I want to try since I always have mine toasted too. Thanks for the tip!
Yay another crumpet lover 😋 the gluten free ones are actually English muffins and not crumpets but they are tasty also but ⚠️ they have a lot of carbs 😕 Thank you so much for watching❣️
The lemon curd is to die for! The best I ever had! On toast with ghee is amazing
@@nancyfasolino7607 🍋🧈🤤❣️
Great review & haul, as always❣️The chocolate cheesecake bites taste more like a whipped mousse instead of cheesecake. Very light & actually delicious. It’s nice that you can grab one at a time for a quick chocolate 🍫 fix. 😋 Agree on the Taiwanese scallion pancakes. Yummy.
I also love their baking mixes. The only one I haven’t tried is the Mochi. I find them to be good quality. The chocolate drizzled strawberry popcorn is also pretty tasty. Today my store was offering samples of the glazed chocolate donut holes. They were soft, chewy & had a nice chocolate taste. Hope you have a great night. 😍💜
Ooooo thanks for the feedback on so many of the items❣️Sounds like you got quite a yummy haul 🛒 I love it when they come out with the individually portioned bites for sure so that you don’t have to eat/serve them all in one go. Your review of the cheesecake bites makes me want to go get them now 🤤 but I still am stocked up from the holidays believe it or not 🤦♀️ I have heard mixed reviews on the mochi cake mix. People seem to really love it or hate it but I still want to try it at some point. Soooooo lucky that you got to sample the chocolate donut holes 🍩 I wish my store sampled the newer items❗️How was your Costco trip 🛒? Did you pick up any fun finds?
@@traderjoesgeek My Costco trip was great! Thanks for asking. I bought a bag of honecrisp apples, raspberries, Amylu cheddar & carmelized onion chicken burgers, Amylu sesame ginger crumbles.(Love to put these in lettuce wraps with lettuce, tomato & coconut aminos or I make a bowl with the crumbles, brussel sprouts, broccoli & brown rice with the coconut aminos.) broccoli, brussel sprouts, Mediterranean crunch salad kits, sprouted gluten free rolled oats, almond butter and some Magic Spoon cereal. I love Costco and taking advantage of their deals when it’s worth it. Hope your week is off to a good start. 😍🥰
@@kathy2933 Everything in your Costco haul sounds DELICIOUS 😋 I haven’t seen or heard of the amylu ginger crumbles 🫚 so I’ll have to look that up now. Your recipe with it sounds so good 🤤 I have been curious about the caramelized burger patties - please let me know what you think of them after you try it❣️
@@traderjoesgeek We love them! It’s a favorite of ours & a repeat buy when we go to Costco. I think you’d like them.
@@kathy2933 oooooo thank you for letting me know it’s good enough for a repurchase❣️I’ll be trying those after I finish the turkey burgers from this haul 🛒
love the brookie caramels..got them yesterday & love! the eg salad was good!
YAY so glad you enjoyed both 🥚🥗😋❣️Did you find the brookie caramel clusters to be overly salty?
The other vegie frozen pancakes taste sooooo much better, a tad smaller, but, way more vegies and flavor, we agree.
Agree with you the Korean scallion pancakes are delicious also 😋
To my shopping sister: The Gouda cheese is so good-a (I know, that’s so bad it’s cheesy.). Going to TJs in the morning, and your reviews are always so helpful! My store moved everything around but that actually makes it fun, finding new things. Thanks ❤
🤣🤣🤣 I love cheesy jokes❣️It will be like you’re in a new store tomorrow! Hope you find lots of goodies for your haul 🛒
The brookie bites were really good! I love salted caramel. The strawberry popcorn it was good but not fantastic
Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the brookie clusters 😋 Did you find the brookie caramel to be too salty?
Ooohhhhh spicy 🌶️ meat pizza!!! Excited for that!! I’ll probably throw some mushrooms on it!
YASSSSS love mushrooms 🍄 on pizza 🍕 😋
Hi Ms. Geek. I tried 2 new items recently that i liked. The egg salad was mild and flavorful. It was lightly mixed with something a little crunchy and something a little creamy. I liked it as is, but it would also be great if you wanted to doll it up. The other item was the frozen carbonera. OMG! Soooo good. Next time I'm buying two bags. It is easily heated on the stove or in the microwave. Meaty, creamy, al dente linguine, how coult it go wrong? I hope TJ's keeps this around for a long time.
Hi 🤗 YAY so glad you enjoyed the egg salad 🍳🥗 The crunchy bits in it are celery. It’s on my list to try at some point because of all the good reviews 😋 and love it when pasta is al dente so thank you for sharing this❣️I find that the frozen pastas are surprisingly good 🍝 Thank you so much for watching 😍
Oh no! My favorite Taiwanese Pancakes went up by .50€.
I know…that’s quite a price jump from $1.99 too 😭
I tried the Mochi cake mix and wasn't a fan of it, a light hint of coconut but not much flavor, and the texture was okay for me but like eating warm, soft, mushy rice.
I may have made it incorrectly because I used a loaf pan though.
Ahhh bummer 😕 thanks for the feedback❣️I’ll make sure not to use a loaf pan when I make it. Have you tried any of their other box mixes?
I've tried the pumpkin bread, that was amazing.
Nothing else yet but I wanna get a muffin mix
Ten dollars for GRAPES??
It’s a racket‼️All jokes aside cotton candy grapes 🍬🍇 are notoriously expensive for some reason 😭
When Washington gets through with all the foolish witch hunts going on, I would like to call for an investigation into all of the supermarket price gouging going on. Prices for food, ALL FOOD and food related items are COMPLETELY OUT OF HAND. The public is getting screwed bigtime and I think the government has a big hand in it!!!! Anyone else feel this way????!!!!
The Brookie caramel clusters is not very sweet but has a very intense salty flavor so maybe not eat too much of it
Thank you for letting us know❣️Seems like some people got a salty batch 🧂 Do you think if you pick off the salt pieces it would make a difference?
@@traderjoesgeek i dunno about that. You have to actually taste it to know.
@@yswen828 agreed❣️just wondered if some people got more salt in their bags or not 🙂
Went to TJs this morning. Bough a bag of Murasaki potatoes, macadamia nut just like you did 👍. Also had a display of yellow dragonfruit 💛, bough one. I ended up trashing the 2 pink dragonfruit dragonfruit:Nasty, no taste. Waste of $$. Did saw the mochi cake mix, i tried a fresh mochi cake from a Hawaiian eatery a couple years ago. It's an acquired taste imo. Texture is undesirable 🤐. Same thing about Goat 🐐 cheese 🫣.
Yay for picking up the murasaki sweet potatoes 🍠 I love roasting them up and then peeling off the skin and then roast them again so the outer layer gets a little crispy and caramelized 🤤 and then I’ll drizzle peanut butter or almond butter or tahini on top (or sometimes cottage cheese).
I’ve been having a little bit of macademia nuts with the organic dried mangos 🥭 I bought and it gives me tropical vibes 🏝️
Yellow dragonfruit are back at Sam’s club 💛💛💛 I just bought another 3 pack and have been squeezing lime juice over it. Need to get another pack when I go again 😋
The mochi cake definitely seems to be a hit or miss with people. I also tried it from bakery shops and loved it, but not sure how Trader Joe’s box mix will compare but there’s only one way to find out 😉
Whaaa???!! The yellow dragonfruit are back at Sam's 😂. I was last there about 2 weeks ago, didn't see them. Not too sure when dragonfruit season is, but I thought I wasn't going to see them again till summer. Bough a jar of tahini at TJs too. Going to try your roasting🍠 method. I usually steam them 🙄. Picked up a jar of Peanut satay sauce, going to try making fresh spring roll without ripping 😮. Gotta keep trying till I master the fine art of rolling. Btw I thought of you when I saw the frozen 🥖, I grabbed and threw it back ✌️.
@@eg1197 right?! I was surprised to see the yellow dragonfruit back so early also❣️I unfortunately am not a fan of Trader Joe’s tahini 🙁 because it tastes a little too bitter for me…there’s only one brand I like for tahini and there’s only 2 places that sell it. You said bye ✌🏻 to the French baguettes🥖😢 did you pick up your ciabatta instead? 😉
@traderjoesgeek nope to TJ breads for the moment. Will start the WF 30 Plant Based next month. Definitely have a better grasp of it, having been on it briefly. Blew it with the 🍤 Banh Mi on Superbowl, wasn't even worth it. 😒
@@eg1197 ahhhh I know what you mean. That has happened to me before on something not even worth it 🤦♀️ I’ve started the modified whole 30 since this haul video but not sure if I’ll be able to last the entire month. Taking it week by week 😉
The pizza puffs have no taste. Really surprised they brought them back. Also I didn’t think the pizza potato chips weren’t that great either.
Bummer on both counts 😕 thanks for the feedback❣️Do you have a favorite potato chip flavor that Trader Joe’s carries?
Yes I like the lower sodium potato chips-comes in a lighter blue bag. Also the pickle potato chips are pretty good too!
@@alanzemsky7695 I know exactly which ones you’re talking about 🩵 I used to get the reduced sodium ones all the time and love the pickle chips also 🥒😋
Highly processed food not for me
Understandable…thank you so much for watching❣️
