Cacao is chocolate in its raw form! So before all the sugar gets added and the form isn't changed to like m&m's. So there's cacao nibs and cacao powder which is the nibs grounded up. And it's considered a superfood too! (If you eat it raw without sugar added!!)
Ooooh... Ollie looked protective of his treat for a minute there. He's a real cutie pie!!! He truly looks like a toy, not a dog. Love him to piecez!Not that Ollie has any problems, but if you ever need advise, I'm a dog whisperer and I can try to answer any questions you may have.
Carrots of many colors!!! I love those!! I swear they taste better than normal carrots, but I may just be partial to them because they are so fun to cook with. :D
When Peter mentioned the dark chocolate covered espresso beans, I literally paused the video and ran and got mine! I had forgot my friend had bought them for me :) So good
Those flowers on the counter are so pretty! I'm wondering if you put a little sea salt in your trail mix. That would be a great contrast to the cranberries;) I hope you feel better sweet Mary and we are saying prayers for you. Always. Love you three🤗 BEEEEEEGHUGS!
I love dried cranberries, cherries, and pineapple. TJ also has freeze dried strawberries that I will eat an entire bag in one sitting. I'm drooling over your grocery haul and I'm so excited to see cacao nibs in a bigger bag! Maybe put the trail mix in snack size bags and keep them in the freezer? That stuff can be frozen, it defrosts fast, and then it'll be fresh for a longer time than on a shelf. Just an idea, xoxox
Fun vlog guys! all that yummy food!! I make trail mix by buying planters mixed nuts, and adding dried cranberries and M&Ms yumm!! just an idea for you. :-) by the way I have dried cranberries on my cereal every morning too, along with sliced banana on top of my cheerios! Good job Mary on the elliptical and good job Peter cleaning , such a team!! love and hugs to the 3 of you, see you tomorrow!
the resealer isn't cheesy by any means you'll love it I use mine all the time even on like my chip bags keeps everything fresh. love you guys' Trader Joe's haul
Interesting...so many things on this vlog reminded me of other Frey times. For example, the tricolored carrots reminded me of the time you guys had the longest carrots EVER! That was also when you told us about CF carrot fingers--peace out! And your trail mix reminded me of the Chex mix you and your mom made. Now I want trail mix, Chex mix...and a pickle.
I just love the way Mary's eyes get huge when she tries a new food and likes it! 😳 Those mangoes are CRAZY GOOD. I get them every time we visit. Also, look out for the dark chocolate covered almonds with sea salt and turbinado sugar. They are dangerous. I have to really exercise self control or I'll eat half a container in one sitting!
Hey I'm new to your channel and I love y'alls vlogs!! You guys are such a spiritual inspiration! Mary you have a beautiful personality and Christ and His joy shines so bright through you and Peter! Btw you are a awesome husband! Love you guys! You will be in my prayers. Much love ❤️
Are your friends away a lot?.it is nice that you get to use the kitchen.good job pushing forward Mary.I had my third infusion today. I am wiped from the heat
Another great dried fruit to try is dried cherries! They have lots of vitamins and con help you sleep too. My favorite brand is the Marriani brand, they come in a yellow package but other brands are good too. I just suggest the Marriani because there really is something special about them. SO GOOD.
Yeah, I just left another comment about dried tart cherries. I love them sooo much! Trader J's has their own, and they are very good as an add-in to oatmeal and other things...kind of expensive, but worth it! 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒
Cocao is the raw form of chocolate. :) Also for the purple hair you can use hair chalk, I used it on my blonde hair a couple years back then just ended up dying my whole head since I loved it so much!
Mary, have you tried golden raisins? The flavor is a little different (in my opinion) and my family prefers them :) My favorite is dried cranberries though! I love all dried fruit.....pineapple, mango, etc :)
Yummy nut mix I do the same with almonds, pistachios, peanuts and dried blueberries (trader joes has them). I noticed adding in a dried fruit adds another flavor to the mix! 👍🏼 btw love your grocery hauls...it's interesting to see what you buy and eat 😃
+The Frey Life yes they are!! I too am not a fan of raisins, but I do like the golden raisins have you tried those? Also the dried cherries are yummy too.
A must buy for me at TJ's: dried tart Montmercy (sp?) cherries, and the golden raisins. (I like the golden way better than regular ones). When I'm bringing my water or milk up to a boil for my cooked oatmeal, I drop some of those along with some chopped sweetened dates in. They plump up in the hot bubbling liquid, and make the cooked oats so good, it's almost like a super healthy dessert! You should try it. I love Trader Joe's unique product offerings so much. Great store. Glad you did a haul from there!
cocoao is choclate in it's raw natrual form and can be a bit bitter at times but is good mixed with baked goods like biscuits or as you know them cookies rather than eaten on it's own and it dosn't melt very well
I couldn't help but wonder what the a was for in the background when Mary was trying the cacao nibs... It can't be an initial....??? I love the trail mix idea!!! I need to try it out!!
Carrot Update 2016! So glad you got those nifty carrots. I love Trader Joe's. I shop there at least once a week, here on the opposite coast. It seems that you eat brown rice; have you discovered their frozen, cooked brown rice? It's really wonderful, and a real time/energy saver. The regular frozen white rice is also very good. My friends all love it. I used to use it, but I have a rice cooker now and that is working well for me. Sending good wishes your way. :-)
Ahaha there's such a funny episode of Brooklyn 99 with cacao nibs! They're lil chunks of cocoa bean before its turned into chocolate. really nice plain without the extra chocolate on the outside too and more healthy but since you're on a high calorie diet you go girl!
The cocoa bean, also cacao bean or simply cocoa or cacao, is the dried and fully fermented fatty seed of Theobroma cacao, from which cocoa solids and cocoa butter can be extracted.They are the basis of chocolate, as well as many Mesoamerican foods such as mole and tejate
Alcove you guys. Have a great day. See you tomorrow. I haven't had any of the colored carrots yet. Tannyraw turns them int to pasta or doodles. I have to try them.
Cacao beans are what chocolate is made from. Check it out on Google sometime, it's really interesting how all the different forms of chocolate are made . Love the Trader Joe's haul !! LYLMO XXXOOO
I know you guys are doing a live stream this afternoon.... I would be super interested to hear about your transition from being a homeschooled cf kid to an adult cf college student...not so much like the medical stuff like taking over ordering script etc (I saw that video) but things like how it was different that home schooling , did you have to take extra precaution not to get sick, did you get more colds and such because of the group environments etc
Caco is the raw form of chocolate not sweeter it's basically straight from pods that hold the chocolate 😀 very good for you glad you like them thanks for the videos again
Just Mango.... is my favorite thing at trader joes! Pickeled popcorn is rad too, but the white cheddar puff corn, that is amazing! I could eat the whole back of that white cheddar stuff. soooooo good!!!!
I love it!! It's honestly like working in heaven, it is absolutely amazing.I couldn't ask for a better job. If you think all the employees are happy with the customers--we're even happier as employees!
No wonder the cacao nibs were so good.... They're covered in sugar haha. Like most things in the US. My cocoa nibs are just crushed roasted cocoa beans. Bitter but so good! I eat it like candy.
Cacao nibs are closer to the original source than chocolate. They are supposedly even healthier than dark chocolate and loaded with vitamins and minerals. I am a big fan of Trader Joe's. I live less than a mile from the original location. I find their prices are better than at most places. I always buy my milk there because it is the best buy I can find and their organic whole milk tastes better to me. If you buy prepared trail mix it is more expensive than buying bags of nuts and dried fruit. As a way to easily add calories I mix dried fruit like cranberries or raisins and seeds such as pumpkin and sunflower into salad. Like you, I like salads but they aren't the most calorific dish so this ups the ante a bit. Excited to see your purple hair!
Ohhhh my goodness! I almost had a heart attack when Mary put her hair in the nail dryer. I thought it was going to get caught in the fan. So glad it didn't!
I found it funny when you called the cheese Wisconsin cheddar, cuz I'm from Wisconsin and cheddar cheese is like a staple food here, so I found it funny that someone in Boston would buy cheese and call it 'Wisconsin Cheddar'. ;)
I was reading an interesting article in the Washington Post saying that our country is experiencing a cheese glut!? We are over stocked with cheese! I don't know why I find that funny...
Have you guys tried the dried Mandarin oranges from Trader Joes? They're delicious!! Also, I have a foodsaver and it's a kitchen gadget that I use ALL the time. It really does work to keep foods fresh. I got mine from Costco, but have seen them in thrift stores. :)
I wish we had a Trader Joe's around where I live! Also, how much is a gallon of milk where you guys live!? Ours is $1-2, but my friend in New York says it's over $10 a gallon.
Hey Mary and Peter I came across your vlogs by one of your pranks and I through it was funny I commented on your last video and am waiting for a response. I'm trying not to sound rude but you guys are an inspiration to me to live life the way God as planned it and am so thankful I came across you. Was just wondering if you wanted to chat and get to know each other more. I Live in Australia and so then can't come to your live stream cause it would be at 1:00 in the morning. Thank for taking your time to read this comment and can't wait to hear from you. Ruby 😍😘
Yum, I used to LOVE making my own trail mix!! If you keep the nuts in the freezer, it will extend their life. (Nut oils go rancid quickly). So I always keep my extras in the freezer. I wasn't a fan of Cacao nibs too much since I'm not a big dark chocolate lover. The ones you bought are sweetened, so they would taste better than the typically cacao nibs. They are a bit more bitter in my opinion, and no sweetener, etc. The other thing I used to throw into my trail mix was a little unsweetened coconut. Yum! OH! Guess what? I found out today I was matched with a service dog!! I can't believe it's finally happening! I won't know which pup I am matched with until closer to team training in October. But that's OK, I'm just so excited I can't believe it! I just hope my retired service dog is OK with the new friend! :). Have a great weekend Mary & Peter!! ((Hugs))
I love how great Peter and Mary are for eachother!!
Sorry you were not feeling the best today Mary! Praying always for you! 😘

I love Trader Joes! I only get to go a couple times a year. It's so easy to fall down rabbit hole of food, there are so many products to try out!
Carrots of many colors!!! I love those!! I swear they taste better than normal carrots, but I may just be partial to them because they are so fun to cook with. :D
When Peter mentioned the dark chocolate covered espresso beans, I literally paused the video and ran and got mine! I had forgot my friend had bought them for me :) So good
Wisconsin cheddar. Yahoo!! Hello from Wisconsin. Thanks for supporting our moo cows. 🌼💜
You guys are such an inspiration!! I have the same thing!! I love watching these!! My isn't as bad but like you always say! Laugh every day!!
Those flowers on the counter are so pretty!
I'm wondering if you put a little sea salt in your trail mix. That would be a great contrast to the cranberries;) I hope you feel better sweet Mary and we are saying prayers for you. Always.
Love you three🤗 BEEEEEEGHUGS!

The rainbow carrots are my favorite!! Have you tried Purple Potatoes? Those are amazing to make into homemade potato chips!
Mary, you are such an inspiration! Your family is beautiful and you take your challenges in stride..I thank God you have so much love from Peter. .
yess a new video right after school on a friday = BEST DAYYYYY
the resealer isn't cheesy by any means you'll love it I use mine all the time even on like my chip bags keeps everything fresh. love you guys' Trader Joe's haul
BTW LOVE the nib taste face
Do you like parsnips? They are like a white carrot and tasted so good roasted.
Wow you can get our Dutch stroopwafels in the US now? Cool! :)
We get them in Canada too... Mooi lekker
Interesting...so many things on this vlog reminded me of other Frey times. For example, the tricolored carrots reminded me of the time you guys had the longest carrots EVER!

Are you going to paint Ollie's toenails purple too?! He needs a purple bandana! =) Looking forward to tomorrow and seeing Mary's hair!!
That trail mix looks so good!!!!!!
mary i laughed when you ate the cacao nibs it reminded ne of violet from willy wonka the way your eyes got real big you are so awesome 😂
I love the grocery hauls 😍
Same!!!
+Ashlee Brooke Ellis same same!!
I love cacao nibs! I used to get a dark chocolate bar with cacao nibs in it. I don't remember the brand name. But that was a long time fave of mine.
If you put different combinations into different snack bags that keeps things exciting! LOL
Tri colored carrots with roasted tomato humus!!! Amazing 🏆 Heart u two! Keep trucking miss Mary. Hug
As always goodnight!! and I cant wait to see you tomorrow!! God Bless x0
Hey I'm new to your channel and I love y'alls vlogs!! You guys are such a spiritual inspiration! Mary you have a beautiful personality and Christ and His joy shines so bright through you and Peter! Btw you are a awesome husband! Love you guys! You will be in my prayers. Much love ❤️
If you use or reuse Mylar bags you can use a flat iron for hair styling.
The jumbo raisin medley from TJ is actually pretty good, and I don't particularly like raisins.
your mix looked so healthy. gotta find me some cacao nibs now😊
Are your friends away a lot?.it is nice that you get to use the kitchen.good job pushing forward Mary.I had my third infusion today. I am wiped from the heat
I think that Peter should get purple streaks in his beard lol 😁
Sometimes I catch myself going Oooo wee Oooo from you're opening song lol.
haha, that's awesome!
HAHAHA its catchy !
Another great dried fruit to try is dried cherries! They have lots of vitamins and con help you sleep too. My favorite brand is the Marriani brand, they come in a yellow package but other brands are good too. I just suggest the Marriani because there really is something special about them. SO GOOD.

I'm with you Mary... For the life of me I just can't do raisins. Yuck 😝 lol
Lol I can
I luv rotten grapes =)
Trader Joes prices are very reasonable. The mixture you made is wonderful, carbs, calories, protein, good stuff!
Cocao is the raw form of chocolate. :)
Also for the purple hair you can use hair chalk, I used it on my blonde hair a couple years back then just ended up dying my whole head since I loved it so much!
That moment you recognize the song at 1:37 bc you've used it in a video recently. Good choice Peter.
Cacao is the dried seeds of a tropical tree that are used to make cocoa and chocolate. TFS and take care..........
Mary, have you tried golden raisins? The flavor is a little different (in my opinion) and my family prefers them :) My favorite is dried cranberries though! I love all dried fruit.....pineapple, mango, etc :)

I saw those fried blueberries- they looked good! Are they sweet?
+The Frey Life yes they are!! I too am not a fan of raisins, but I do like the golden raisins have you tried those? Also the dried cherries are yummy too.
I've always wanted to like the golden raisins! I've never tried them though...next up...golden raisins and dried blueberries :) Thanks!
+The Frey Life your welcome!! Hope your having a good day 😊💕

Is that a comforter on your bed? if so where did you get it at? I really like it
The pistachios look so good!! You're making me so hungry!
thumbs up my own comment....
Just Mango.... is my favorite thing at trader joes! Pickeled popcorn is rad too, but the white cheddar puff corn, that is amazing! I could eat the whole back of that white cheddar stuff. soooooo good!!!!
Little Miss Twist pickled popcorn???!!! Yum!
ikr, sounds weird, but it is soooo good!!!
Goodnight Guys
That orange chicken is so so good❤️
cacao nibs are a lot like dark chocolate but better!! The only difference is that cacao nibs do not melt like regular processed chocolate :)
Hi Mary,
Where did you get your nail dryer? Been looking for one of those!
Yeaah, a new vlog! you guys are amazing! love u~x
How was the chili spiced mango ?
What were the carrots like
I work at Trader Joe's so this vlog made me very happy!!! (Just like every other video of yours but this one more) ❤️
How do you like working for them? They always seem to hire such friendly, people persons. Are they as friendly as bosses/management?
I love it!! It's honestly like working in heaven, it is absolutely amazing.I couldn't ask for a better job. If you think all the employees are happy with the customers--we're even happier as employees!
cacao is like chocolate's version of a coffee bean. It's where chocolate comes from. Some people call it "raw chocolate"
I know that you guys get this comment a lot, but I just have to say that you and Peter are the most awesome couple!
hi guys question have you guys ever been told not to record in stores just asking
No wonder the cacao nibs were so good.... They're covered in sugar haha. Like most things in the US. My cocoa nibs are just crushed roasted cocoa beans. Bitter but so good! I eat it like candy.

I still can't believe we have it! It is better than I have thought it would be for the last 5 years :) haha
Its adorable!
Ohhhh my goodness! I almost had a heart attack when Mary put her hair in the nail dryer. I thought it was going to get caught in the fan. So glad it didn't!

+Meg Mulholland they can go ahead and send me some cheese since they're overwhelmed with cheese 🙂 (I've got to do my part, ya know? 😉)
Have you guys tried the dried Mandarin oranges from Trader Joes? They're delicious!! Also, I have a foodsaver and it's a kitchen gadget that I use ALL the time. It really does work to keep foods fresh. I got mine from Costco, but have seen them in thrift stores. :)
Wisconsin cheddar! ! Usually I see you guys buy Vermont. Maybe because I'm from Wisconsin I'm partial to it!! Cheese, beer, and brats lol!
Dried cranberries are so yummy on a salad! I can't stand raisins either.
Awesome video! Cant wait to see you guys tomorrow! :)
I wish we had a Trader Joe's around where I live! Also, how much is a gallon of milk where you guys live!? Ours is $1-2, but my friend in New York says it's over $10 a gallon.
and... as always... I ate a carrot... LOL love it hehe
Hey Mary and Peter I came across your vlogs by one of your pranks and I through it was funny I commented on your last video and am waiting for a response. I'm trying not to sound rude but you guys are an inspiration to me to live life the way God as planned it and am so thankful I came across you. Was just wondering if you wanted to chat and get to know each other more. I Live in Australia and so then can't come to your live stream cause it would be at 1:00 in the morning. Thank for taking your time to read this comment and can't wait to hear from you. Ruby 😍😘
Do they have a house your I would love to see one ❤️❤️
Love you both!
Now I wanna go to trader joes! Hmmm ya I'm gonna go :) love you guys! You rock youtube!!!
Yum, I used to LOVE making my own trail mix!! If you keep the nuts in the freezer, it will extend their life. (Nut oils go rancid quickly). So I always keep my extras in the freezer.

OH! Guess what? I found out today I was matched with a service dog!! I can't believe it's finally happening! I won't know which pup I am matched with until closer to team training in October. But that's OK, I'm just so excited I can't believe it! I just hope my retired service dog is OK with the new friend! :). Have a great weekend Mary & Peter!! ((Hugs))
That's so exciting to hear!!!!
Never been to trader joes. Will have to try it out.
Cacao is the bean chocolate is made of the more of it the dark the chocolate is which is why those things tasted so dark
