[nathaliabrown]

So I went to TJs this weekend. I just discovered this store a few months ago and I go to stock up on the pot stickers that everyone in the house just loves. Well Apparently theres so much more than I knew so I wanted to try it. So what am I doing right now ...Eating breakfast..which is Pretzels and COOKIE BUTTER!!! OMG This is heaven in a jar! How have I not ever heard of this. What else did I get? Chocolate Croissants !!!!i I just dont know which I like better!! What else have you discovered there?

 

[barkley]

their toffee (only available around the holidays) beats almond roca hands down. we end up getting a couple of containers to keep us going until the next year

dd loves their chicken tiki masala, while I really enjoy their black bean enchiladas. ds recently discovered their deep fried mac n cheese, and hits me up for it whenever I go.

Have you tried their Egg Plant Parm? It is really good as well

DD loves their fruit and cream yogurt. The butternut squash ravioli, peanutbutter pretzels, root vegetable chips, chicken hot dogs, are must haves for us.

How much chocolate is in the croissants?

DD is a huge fan of their powerberries. Our local store is out and has been for a few weeks. I go back every few weeks to see if they get them back in stock. I love their spicy shrimp bao. DH loves their raw almonds and cashews and there are some flax seed chips there that I love too.

I also love how nice everyone is there. Great customer service and every employee is willing to help you out.

I agree! they also have a mushroom and truffle flatbread that is to die for we're also fans of their Indian simmer sauces-we recently tried something different with it that worked out well. used a traditional Spanish rice recipe, but replaced the salsa with the same amount of the simmer sauce-it was really good with some grilled chicken.

There's a greek yogert dip with some sort of spices sprinkled on top that is wonderful with pita chips! I could eat the whole container. Try the dark chocolate peanut butter cups too!

 

[kajs22]

orange chicken, multigrain French toast, blueberry syrup, pumpkin cheesecake, two buck chuck, pb pretzels, coffee

I love a lot of the items there but my fav is probably the fondue. It is in a paper cup you microwave for 5 minutes. I was very skeptical when I bought it but it is so good! The pretzel bread is nice with it too.
Don't buy the package that has the shredded cheese that is intended for a fondue pot -- it is not as good.

TRADER JOESSSS! My favorite store

 

[nathaliabrown]

How much chocolate is in the croissants?

Its a good amount. Not overly done. But just perfect. If you dont like chocolate they also have , plain , almond. and another that I cant remember..and they are HUGE!!! You would never think they would be so big from the little box they come in

Love it there!! We're challenging to feed, I'm a low carber, dh and dd are gluten free, and we're careful about GMOs. The corn chips and corn tortillas they have (actually ALL the TJ brands) are non-GMO. Which I love!

Their brand of Greek yogurt is fabulous! And they have great prices on the organic and non-organic heavy cream and half and half.

They have the BEST sf chocolate too, by the register though. Sugar free chocolate is very hard to find that's good!

They also make GF joe joes now (their version of Oreos) which are great and reasonably priced.

If you need other unusual items, they carry almond flour, agave, flax seed tortilla chips (lower net carbs) ... Lots of good stuff!!

I cant believe no one has mentioned the CRACK SAUCE!!! I mean...Curry sauce. The Red and Yellow are both amazing.

And the chocolate croissants are to die for. And their pumpkin cheesecake. And this blueberry coated goat cheese. And ummm...everything. Literally.

I love the frozen mango chunks. Much cheaper than elsewhere, gets me through the long winters here.

Also just discovered their chocolate / carmel bar. Best I've ever had (and I've been to Belgium).

How do you use the "frozen mango chunks" -- just thaw and eat?

I buy the frozen strawberries to put into cooked oatmeal. $1.69 for a pound of strawberries is a great price!

Salted dark chocolate covered almonds.

 

[Sagginit]

pumpkin macaroons. GF too. just defrost for 30 minutes and i swear you will never know they did not come from a bakery. i am a celiac so i really love how easy they make it to shop. i also am addicted to their edamame hummus and flaxseed chips (the veggie flavored ones). i like their version of nutella, almonds instead of hazlenut so a bit milder in flavor.

i use frozen mango in smoothies.

i cant eat it but i heard their speculous is great.
