Trader Joe's

I was going to try these because they're so pretty, but wasn't sure what I could use them for. Regular pasta sauce didn't seem right. I've since read a review that they weren't that good.

We get them over here but they are expensive. They are flavoured with spinach, tomato and I can't remember what the yellow ones are !

Are there any other new products for vegetarians ?

I got a box of Mango-os. Oat cereal with mango puree and freeze dried mango bits. It doesn't say vegan, but doesn't contain anything- no D or gel, but has the disclaimer "may contain milk, soy, wheat, nuts..." Well, does say cane sugar, but not organic...I like them. 7 grams sugar
No more shelf stable silken tofu, and they said out of light coconut milk, but the shelf didn't have a tag for it, so...
I did get the marshmallows! Sugary, but better than what I remembered marshmallows being like. I think like a cross between the dried ones in cereal and real. I made hot chocolate almond milk just to put a couple in, they really puff, or melt, just got soft-and good

Oh, I did see the cookie butter now comes striped with cocoa, but I don't care for cookie butter
They have dark chocolate batons -long rods of chocolate- at the register and I got one with expresso beans for .99 cents. Yay!
I didn't see the sprouted red rice with the veg curry I like in the frozen section

Nothing much that I fancy. I like their multi grain tortillas and edamane crackers.

Looks like I'll be making a trip there tomorrow!

I am going tomorrow too, even though No Parking at my local TJ's! My car is tiny, so I am good at taking spaces that look too small. Lol.

I visited the Pasadena and San Dimas stores and bought some Mango flavoured soft liquorice, liquid & powered stevia, edamame crackers and Tofukey Italian sausages.

The liquorice has a fabulous taste however it is far too sweet and not as chewy compared to Lea & Darrel's brand. The stevia tasted excellent. I will have to test it for baking and see how the taste compares to NuNaturels brand.

I also picked up a poblano stuffed pepper which was disappointing as the pepper was partially cooked and tasted quite raw.

It is such a lovely store and there is always a lot of buzz going on.

They were sampling a new gazpacho soup when I went last week. It was pretty good and I ended up getting some.

I absolutely love cinnamon rolls and churros. The only time that I have ever eaten the latter was at the airport lounge at Heathrow airport. I asked to just taste one and ended up eating the whole batch !

I have never had a churro!

Wow, you don't know what you're missing ! They are lovely served hot with cinnamon sugar.

They taste similar to a cinnamon sugar covered donut. Yummy.

For those who never had rugelach, they are like mini bite size danish. Double yum.

I almost bought the churros but they are frozen and have to be baked so I decided to wait for cooler weather.

I did buy two bags of the marshmallows. I'm going to make rice Krispy treats.

I also tried the vegetable Biryani. The dumplings were good but I did not like the rice at all.

Made it to Trader Joe's today and got my wraps and the rugelach. Also some spicy dill potato chips, plus the usual stuff I get.

The chips are good and just spicy enough that you can only eat one or two, which is perfect. Keeps me from scarfing down the whole bag at once.

I got the last container of rugelach, and ate one on the way to the car. I was so excited, and it wasn't very good. It was very flaky and dry, not at all moist, so it was falling apart as I ate it. There was very little filling, and there were only eight small pieces, all around disappointing.


eta: I was wrong, the chips aren't spicy enough to keep you from eating half the bag.

Just at Trader Joes and found they have their own vegan mayo spread! It has pea protein, sounds like Just Mayo, and $2.29 for I think a 16 oz jar. I have two unopened Just Mayos and one truffle flavor Just Mayo that were on sale (it's really good!) so I didn't get any- but cool!
They no longer have the Good and Plenty candies anymore. Disappointed, but I got a tub of dark chocolate ginger I'd been avoiding all my other trips
