Hey friends! Today I am sharing some of my favorite items from Trader Joe’s.
Trader Joe’s is my favorite spot to grocery shop at. Everything is reasonably priced and they have an awesome selection of organic produce, yummy snacks and sweet treats, and a bomb freezer section; Not to mention gorgeous flowers, great breads, a selection of wines, and impressive beauty and house products.
Cauliflower Pizza Crust – I’m always looking for easy dinners during the week. I like keeping one of their pizza crusts on hand because I can easily throw some toppings on it and pop it in the oven. Dinner is ready quickly and it’s something that feels filling and satisfying.
Chicken Sausage – These are so delicious. They come in several flavors, but my favorites are Spicy Italian and Roasted Garlic. They’re fully cooked so they’re a quick way to add crazy flavor to any dish. My favorite way to use them is in a veggie and rice stir fry. I keep them in the freezer and defrost when I’m ready to use.
Frozen Roasted Corn – Another freezer section gem. I add it to soups and burrito bowls.
Spicy Thai Shrimp Fried Rice – They were sampling this one weekend while my sister and I were shopping. It was so yummy that we bought it and made it for dinner that night. I usually add extra shrimp or chicken sausage for more protein and throw in mushrooms.
Honeycrisp Apple Candle – I just tried Trader Joe’s candles for the first time this fall and I’m hooked. Between the Apple scent and the Pumpkin, the Apple is by far my favorite – so much so I went back and bought 5 more 🙊
Frozen Brussels Sprouts – I love roasting Brussels sprouts and having them with grilled chicken or steak. If you haven’t noticed, I like a stocked freezer and frozen Brussels sprouts are a staple.
Milk Chocolate Smashing S’mores – These are SO good. Graham crackers with a marshmallow on top dunked in chocolate…so in other words heaven. Definitely a treat, but 100% worth every calorie.
Unsweetened Instant Oatmeal – This is what I eat for breakfast every morning of the week. Since I eat it every day I usually buy 2-3 boxes at a time. I even keep one in my desk at work just in case I don’t have time for breakfast at home in the morning. It’s made with oats, quinoa, flax seeds, and chia seeds. Usually oatmeal is too mushy for me to enjoy, but this is a little nutty from the quinoa and has great texture from the flax and chia seeds. I eat it with just a drizzle of honey and sprinkle of cinnamon.
Seasoning Blends – Trader Joe’s has some awesome seasoning blends. My top two favorites are the Everything but the Bagel Sesame (great in chicken or veggies) and the Multipurpose Umami (great in stir fries or Asian dishes). I also really like the Chile Lime and the 21 Seasoning Salute. They add great flavor to any dish and are so unique.
Happy grocery shopping 😁
