The Trader Joe’s Thread

[SportyGirly125]

I know we have threads dedicated to specific beauty brands but I didn’t really see one dedicated or updated for all things Trader Joe’s. It could be beauty, skincare, haircare, household or grocery items. Post your finds here so others could be on a lookout of what to find or is newly released at their local store. It could also be something you think people should try. Their beauty section is so underrated and most people don’t even know they have a beauty aisle.  Their candles and seasonal items are amazing and they always have unique snacks.

@eshoe  I love this!  Yes, it's cookie season!  Who cares about presents.  I need to start my annual combing through my recipe books and dreaming of what to make, only to make the same 2-3 I do every year. 😂

[eshoe]

Ha!!! @Ispend2much6 my goal is to venture out this year, let’s do it! If I try just one new recipe this season, I will consider it a success😄

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe I got the dressing you recommended this morning. 

[eshoe]

@SportyGirly125 it’s great on bruschetta as well. It’s been a couple of years since I have had it, so I think I might get a little experimental and try it on a few other things, too.

Mmmmm that looks really good @Ispend2much6 

[Ispend2much6]

@PrettyPaintThank you!  I really enjoy having a tasty dish that's healthy.  Fresh herbs really make a difference, and in this dish, they were already ready- no work on my part!

@Ispend2much6 Holiday Hash?  What actually comes in it out of the package?

[Ispend2much6]

@CookieGirl1.  

 

[SportyGirly125]

@Ispend2much6 Looks yummy

[Ispend2much6]

@SportyGirly125Thank you- love something that is healthy and tastes good.

[CookieGirl1]

@Ispend2much6 clearly it's been too long since I've been to TJs 😅

[Ispend2much6]

@CookieGirl1. I didn't go much at all the past year and a half but making up for it now. 

[Ispend2much6]

Look what happens when I'm let out of the house and I'm hungry. 😂

New squash to me- so cute!

If I had to choose, I'd go for the gingerbread sandwich cookies.

[Guessgal]

@Ispend2much6 Oh, those gingerbread sandwich cookies look mouth-watering! 😯Is that a loaf of maple bread you have in the front?

[Ispend2much6]

@Guessgal  They are!  They're pretty good for store-bought.  Yes, that is the maple bread.  I never saw it when it was supposed to be there in the fall; it's hard to believe it's not sold out entirely, unless it was just produced at a later time.  At any rate, it will be made into french toast. 🙂

[SportyGirly125]

@Ispend2much6 You got all the seasonal goodies.  I got the Gingerbrread kit but am hiding it from the kiddos because they will want to do it now.

[Ispend2much6]

@SportyGirly125. I don't blame them. When they are constructed they make the kitchen smell so good!

[SportyGirly125]

@Ispend2much6 Did you get the Halloween one?  I was tempted but passed on it.

[Ispend2much6]

@SportyGirly125Yes, I did.  I bought it for my son; he's really sentimental and likes to do those because he loved them when he was younger.  And, let's be honest, he gets a huge cookie to eat by himself. 🙂  It was cute- the icing included to hold the pieces together was chocolate, as were the house parts.

All the wonderful Autumnal treats! Thanks for posting- Just the thing to inspire a trip to the local T-Jo's. I'd add 'Power Berries' (excellent version of Goobers n' Raisinettes). And a bottle of Tea Tree Shampoo ( .25 cents an ounce). 

[Ispend2much6]

@MvLL  I wonder if our store carries those power berries- they sound wonderful!  I did forget to pick up some of the frozen mashed sweet potatoes.  Sure sounds better than peeling and cutting sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving.
