What I Picked Up from Trader Joe’s This Week

Surprisingly enough I haven't been to Trader Joe's in like 6 months. I was burnt out with it honestly.

Glad I went today because the Tikka Masala Sauce was back! I tried making it from scratch and it was a fail! But, this sauce taste exactly like the sauce from the Indian restaurant I love going to. It's less than $3 a bag and it’s delicious. Just season your chicken breast and make some basmati rice and you have a whole meal (I forgot to get naan, but I make it). Should I make video?

✨My fav TJ snack is the Elote Corn Chips and the Sour Cream Spinach Dip. Odd combo but really good. You have to try it! Try it and let me know what you think 🔥🔥🔥. Brookies are in a league of their own.

I'll let you guys know how the protein bars are because most I've tried taste like dirt bars 🤣

✨The salmon is bomb! Just remove the butter and season it before cooking. I add the butter when it's almost done to bast it.

✨I'm excited to try the pumpkin oatmilk. I don't care what season it is, I love pumpkin anything!

What’s your favorite thing to get from Trader Joe’s?

... Read moreIf you're a fan of Trader Joe's and looking for exciting new finds to elevate your grocery haul, you're in for a treat! This week, I revisited Trader Joe's after a six-month break and was thrilled to discover the return of the Tikka Masala Sauce, a staple that rivals your favorite Indian restaurant's offering. It's exquisitely flavorful and can turn a simple chicken breast into a delightful meal paired with basmati rice. Don't forget to grab some naan! Also on the list are the Elote Corn Chips and Sour Cream Spinach Dip – an unconventional yet delicious pairing you'll want to try for your next snack night. If you're a chocolate lover, the Cocoa Batons are a sweet indulgence that shouldn't be missed! Let's not overlook the seasonal Pumpkin Oatmilk; it brings that cozy autumn flavor all year long. Each item is thoughtfully chosen, ensuring a mix of flavors that cater to diverse palates. Whether you're prepping meals or looking for quick snack ideas, these items can transform your culinary experience.
