Oh well! At least we can enjoy it together. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes/page/2#post-866951 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:06:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 866951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cheese, edamame hummus (THIS IS A MUST!), and of course wine selection! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes/page/2#post-866943 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:04:21 +0000 Anagram 866943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: yup! It's addictive. That's why I only buy it when I have people coming over--so I'm not the only one eating it! Also, my husband doesn't really like popcorn much (because he didn't grow up eating it in his country), but he LOVES kettle corn and will eat it with me. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes/page/2#post-866906 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:49:39 +0000 erwoo 866906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Yes! One hour?! Yikes, I can eat the entire bag if no one stops me...and in less than an hour's time. It's so scary... which is why I don't eat it often. :D The lite one is the blue and white bag and regular is in the pink and white. I like the regular one better since I don't eat it often I might as well eat the one that's not as good for me. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes/page/2#post-866891 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:40:15 +0000 Anagram 866891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: it's probably not as good as real Fair kettle corn, because it doesn't seem to use a whole lot of sugar or butter or anything....</p> <p>But even the regular version (as opposed to the lite) only has 4 ingredients and doesn't have a lot of calories. And it's Gluten free!</p> <p>But honestly...it doesn't really matter about the seemingly small amount of calories, because there's 7 servings in a bag and I could easily eat 1/2 a bag in one sitting. ;-)</p> <p>But it's still better than potato chips or something else like that! Oh, and I found this: <a href="http://voices.yahoo.com/a-review-trader-joes-kettle-corn-snack-that-1981971.html" rel="nofollow">http://voices.yahoo.com/a-review-trader-joes-kettle-corn-snack-that-1981971.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes/page/2#post-866877 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:31:10 +0000 regberadaisy 866877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: is it any different than kettle corn you get from the fair? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes/page/2#post-866874 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:29:27 +0000 Anagram 866874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: their lite kettle corn is TOTALLY addictive. That's the kind in the pink and white striped bag, right? I only buy that when we're having out of town guests and I want some snacky foods around, but it only lasts like 1 hour in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866854 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:15:34 +0000 Thenetexan 866854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not paleo, but I love their risotto. It is in the frozen section. I prefer the mushroom, but the asparagus is good too. So quick and easy and so good! I also love their frozen roasted corn and frozen mashed sweet potatoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866851 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:12:32 +0000 looch 866851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to go this weekend to get some vitamins for my son (recommended by our ped). I haven't been in ages, but I am FOR SURE going alone so I can take my time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866787 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 05:38:42 +0000 MsLipGloss 866787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: cabernet pot roast? clearly, I need to spend more time looking around at TJs! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866742 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:57:46 +0000 blackbird 866742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Their Cabernet pot roast is good, too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866706 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:20:28 +0000 Boopers 866706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: what items did you get that are paleo friendly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866694 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:04:00 +0000 LaineysMom 866694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE their Almond butter! I mix it with Brewers yeast (for BM supply) and it actually tastes good! I also like their Gorgonzola crackers and of course.. The wine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866638 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:46:41 +0000 dolphin 866638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chocolate covered power berries!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866628 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:39:17 +0000 erwoo 866628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: No, it's this one:</p> <p><a href="http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article.asp?article_id=656" rel="nofollow">http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article.asp?article_id=656</a></p> <p>I love it! It's a nice savory popcorn. I was surprised at how yummy it was. Worth trying a bag since it's so inexpensive. ;) I'm ready to go buy more this week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866627 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:38:44 +0000 erwoo 866627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866543 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:49:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 866543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forgot-- their California Estate Olive Oil was rated as one of the best available, even compared to much more expensive ones. Mine doesn't usually have it but if I see it, I will grab a couple now. The regular EVOO is plenty good for cooking and I like the balsamic vinegar in the short square bottle-- not fancy but better than most supermarkets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866537 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:45:48 +0000 PrincessBaby 866537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: is that the popcorn w/olive oil? They had it on display but I was sketched out by the thought of the two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866532 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:44:14 +0000 erwoo 866532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love their kettle corn and popcorn with herbs and spices. I usually get 4 of each bag every time I go b/c, even if it's not far, I don't go as often as I would like. There's pretty much nothing bad at trader joe's but those are my absolute favorite snacks there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866523 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:39:02 +0000 Mrs D 866523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm all about their boxes of soup, dried fruits and nuts! I make my own trail mixes with their stuff! </p> <p>I also second the cheese and wine selection!</p> <p>Not to mention they are far more reasonable in the higher end stuff (olive oils, balsamic, sauces, etc) than most grocery stores! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866507 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:32:39 +0000 Meridian 866507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I had no idea there are so many delicious things at TJs. I go there and don't know what to buy!! Favoriting this post for my next trip (which may need to be soon). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866485 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:19:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 866485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I know you already went but here are my favorites!</p> <p>I LOVE their bool kogi pre-marinated steak - omg soooooo gooood. I top it with sesame seeds when I make it at home and serve with sushi rice and a veggie like steamed broccoli.</p> <p>I do love almost all their premarinated meats and it's great when I know I only have 20 minutes to make dinner because the meat takes less than 10 minutes. The pesto chicken and tomato basil chicken are equally amazing. Carne asada - very spicy but good. I love it in tacos/burritos!</p> <p>My husbands favorite food from there is the gorgonzola crackers. Def not paleo but delicious nonetheless.</p> <p>I have to admit I love their Joe's O's as well. It's a healthier oreo alternative - still not healthy but the lesser of two evils haha. they are delish.</p> <p>Oh and their coffee. Oh lordy their coffee. It's all I ever buy. I'm partial to the organic fair trade ethiopian blend. The wake up breakfast blend is pretty delicious too. To make it paleo, stir in some coconut milk and coconut sugar - yum! </p> <p>Their juice (with no sugar) is good too. LOVE the blueberry juice.</p> <p>It's also the only place I buy jam because they have one without sugar, instead it has fruit juice in it.</p> <p>OH! and wine. Moscato d'asti in the pretty bottle about $7 - soooooo delicious. omg. it's amazing. I could drink a whole bottle in one night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866454 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:08:06 +0000 PrincessBaby 866454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I saw it and was momentarily tempted...but I already eat so much almond butter on bananas and blueberries that I was too chicken to rock the boat! And the scale, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-866451 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:06:29 +0000 PrincessBaby 866451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I thought TJ's was AWESOME!!!!! I got a ton of already cooked/just heat up stuff that was even paleo friendly (super cheap!), and omg I will never pay more than $6.99 for a bottle of wine again!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-862691 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:53:47 +0000 brownie 862691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These green bean chip things. They are green beans, oil and salt and are absolutely delicious. Also freeze dried grapes (and other fruits but we can only find the grapes there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-862679 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:50:21 +0000 IRunForFun 862679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMagpie: Haha yup, that's what I had for breakfast this morning! I've been looking for some variety though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-862666 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:47:48 +0000 MamaMagpie 862666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: definitely! They also have GF Puffins! They're the ones in the blue box I think, but they say "Gluten Free" on the front :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-862653 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:43:20 +0000 Happygal 862653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy to see this thread. We just got a TJ's, and I haven't found anything that I've gone nuts over yet.</p> <p>I do like their olive oil, olive bread, almonds, and meat selection. I also sampled their lotion and liked it. It looks like they have a good selection of supplements, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-862643 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:40:00 +0000 IRunForFun 862643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMagpie: Man I was griping about the lack of GF cereal options there! Now I need to check that out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-items-from-trader-joes#post-862633 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:35:14 +0000 MamaMagpie 862633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: yep! It's in the cereal section and comes in a small, yellowish zip-top bag. They make it a 'maple nut' and a 'fruit and nut' flavor and both are pretty good! I usually toss a handful in with my yogurt in the morning :) </p>
