Had a vision and it did not disappoint! 3 servings of the pasta (about 170 grams) mixed into the salad kit. I added grilled chicken breast, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and extra parmesan at the end. Might trying adding sliced peaches to the leftovers once they are ripe.
Hi all, I went to my local TJ in Florida and couldn’t find them, and the associate said they’re not in the system anymore. But they are still on the website. Are they discontinued?
these were one of my all time favorite snacks but it seems that they discontinued it a few months ago. i’m devastated because i live somewhere with no trader joe’s but was about to move to california and had one in my neighborhood so i was expecting to have access to it whenever i wanted instead of only every few years when i take a trip, but now i will likely never have them again. ive never really seen anyone online talk about them, so i assume they were not very popular, but correct me if im wrong. i don’t know anything really about trader joe’s policy on discontinued products, but is there any chance they’d bring them back or should i give up all hope of having my taste buds blessed by these ever again
So I bought a 12-pack of Trader Joe Simpler Times Lager thinking well it's cheap but has to be drinkable right? Boy was I fucking wrong, tastes like Steel Reserve, has a metallic flavor, and honestly may kill my lust for beer and now I am involuntarily sober. I should have bought Miller High Life or Coors Banquet. Honestly Simpler Times lates like shit. Why is this still being sold?
Absolute fire 🔥
I didn't know what to cook for dinner, and I noticed that I had a sweet potato, some spinach, and a can of trader joes lentils..so I decided to make a curry! I had onion, garlic, and ginger, and the curry mix that I typically use, and it turned out great! I didn't have coconut milk, but I did have a tiny can of unsweetened coconut cream..so I mixed it with some water to make coconut milk and mixed it in. Then, a squeeze of lime over top.
This is my first time trying the TJ canned lentils, and they are good! So easy to just dump into a recipe without having to worry about under/over cooking them.
Been enjoying these for years. As a snack or a side. I feel they don’t need any dipping sauce because the buffalo sauce packs a good flavor! I’m so happy they aren’t seasonal!
I decided to celebrate the 4th a day late by making hot dogs (yes, I was lazy and microwaved them) and potato salad. I have not had these hot dogs before, but they are new at Trader Joe's and I decided to try them. They seem like a pretty high quality kosher all beef dog. They have a pretty strong smoked sausage-like flavor that I like, so I'll definitely be adding them to my standard rotation from now on.
Please bring this back Trader Joe’s 🙏 The conditioner was great too!
I like the rice in this pre-made meal - the package says it’s a “rice medley” and it seems to feature a few different types of grains (the main sort of round fluffy one, then darker more skinny grains as well). I don’t have much experience making rice besides plain white jasmine rice, so I was wondering if anyone could help describe what kind of rice is in this meal and how one could go about making something similar on their own?
😋
This was delicious! We just moved to an area that has TJ's after 3 years in a state that doesn't (Alaska), and I'm irrationally excited to have access to this store again 🥹 (and also to have access to good produce, I'm going to turn into a fruit bat at this point) 😅
A friend ordered us frozen cheese pastries from Porto’s since we aren’t near a physical bakery in Southern California, and they’ve been delightful since we can bake them fresh on demand. Last night, we felt like we unlocked a whole new treat adding Trader Joe’s guava spread! It was absolutely divine. I actually think I favor it over Porto’s guava and cheese pastries. What can’t this guava spread make even better??
hi everyone! I'm trying to remember a particular cookie that my step-mom used to bring me from trader joes, probably around 2004/2005 - it came in a clear, plastic container ,and they were mint chocolate cookies. they were definitely not the mint joe-joes, they were much smaller cookies with a fudgey, brownie type of texture. i've tried googling and haven't found anything. does this description happen to ring a bell for anyone?
Editing to add region info: this was in the greater LA area!
I also added some strawberry syrup for good measure. This was actually even better than I thought it was going to be!
i love trader joe’s but i don’t know if im crazy or if in the last few years trader joe’s is like. phasing out salt. for most things its fine ill just add my own salt since i mostly get frozen meals but the snacks have so little salt. i swear the blue corn chips i just opened are entirely unsalted. they need at least a little bit to taste like anything. i wish there were just some low sodium options and some regular sodium options
(i know most people in the usa especially need less sodium and im coming from the point of view of someone who needs a doctor recommended 8000mg of sodium but still my point stands)
