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.

@faeriegirl They are soooo addicting.

@SportyGirly125  Yay!  Thanks for letting us know I didn't see this.

I bought more holiday fun today.

[SportyGirly125]

@Ispend2much6 Woo chocolate peppermint sounds good.

My local TJs said more stuff is coming tomorrow with everything for the holidays arriving next Wednesday.  They want to get rid of all their Thanksgiving stuff soon.

@SportyGirly125They'd better hurry up and get their turkeys in then!  I noticed ours was completely out of pumpkin pie spice and canned pumpkin.

[SportyGirly125]

@Ispend2much6 Turkeys are coming in 11/12.  I heard they are selling 3 different types.

[Ispend2much6]

@SportyGirly125  Thanks!  I have always liked the kosher ones.  They're already brined, so they're moist and tasty.  But, a lot of times there are feather quills left on, so I end up plucking the turkey more than my eyebrows.😂

Oooooh looks like lots of fun stuff @SportyGirly125 !!

I roasted the Holiday Hash vegetable mix tonight, adding chopped fresh fennel and yellow potatoes.  I added olive oil and coarse ground pepper before roasting.  It smells so good- it already has parsley, sage, and rosemary in it!

I took a chance after it was done and seasoned a bite of it with balsamic glaze. @eshoe It's balsamic to the rescue! I think I will try to duplicate this for Thanksgiving, since all of the other dishes I make use pounds of butter. 🙂

[eshoe]

Mmmmmm @Ispend2much6 that looks delicious! I love fennel - did you use the fronds or the stalk? Oh yes, I was at Costco and almost picked up some butter, but thought hmmm, I don’t think I need that much. Thanksgiving is in two weeks, that’s why 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Ispend2much6]

@eshoeI use the bulbs.  For some reason it pairs well with potatoes, onions, and sweet potatoes. 🙂  47 days until Christmas!

[eshoe]

@Ispend2much6 I need to start my list!

[Ispend2much6]

@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.

[PrettyPaint]

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]
