5 + Must-Try Trader Joe's Dinners for Busy Nights | Trader Joe's Haul | Easy Dinner Ideas

[@lindadelaiarro4081]

Love your channel... cooking, thrifting, crafting, my favorites! This video came at just the right time. Lacrosse season is in full swing, and with three grandchildren each in multiple leagues, we need quick dinners! So many great items to buy at Trader Joes!

[@MotherThyme]

It is perfect timing! With spring and summer sports it’s nice to have these easy meals to whip up for busy nights and better than takeout!

[@vickistevenson361]

I haven’t bought many prepared foods, but have decided that I need to add them to make things easier for me! I’ve been cooking meals for over 50 years, and I’m ready to simplify! These all sound great! Thank you!

[@TraditionsByTheSeasons]

Love all the ideas, thanks, Jen! Xoxo ❤

[@CathyColegrove-u5e]

Oh my goodness girl! I want a copy of your recipes! All your meals sound sooooo AMAZING!

I Love grocery hauls!😍

[@GingerJarLane]

Hi Jenn! Trader Joe’s has such good prices! You got a lot to feed your family at a descent price! ❤ I love your videos! You give so much inspiration! I am definitely going to make that corn and black bean salad! Looks so good! I’m going to make that bruschetta chicken! That looks delicious! Thank you so much for the dinner inspiration! ❤❤❤

[@theskiesthelimit-q2k]

Believe it or not, I love Trader Joe's Brussel sprouts! I get the ones on the stalks when they are in season and the frozen ones when they are not. I roast them in the oven. BTW, I love you hauls and menu ideas. You do a great job organizing the ingredients that you need to make the meals. It makes it very easy and enjoyable to follow your videos.

[@MotherThyme]

Hi! Oh yum! I love Brussels sprouts too! I love roasting them and dipping them in garlic aioli! It’s so good! I’m so glad you enjoy these videos too!❤️

[@ginathomason3113]

I am really enjoying your shopping and meal prep videos. Thank you so much for sharing the PDF for the recipes. Really looking forward to your freezer meal video.

[@lisamarutz9772]

[@judyburkey4862]

Hi Jenn, great quick night meals. Chicken bruschetta looked quick easy and delicious. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day. 🙏💙

[@MotherThyme]

Hi Judy! The Bruschetta Chicken is one of our favorites! Have a great day my friend!

[@lisafriend5535]

Love the bruschetta sauce.

[@marigoldsky3799]

Love grocery hauls! I just found your channel a few weeks ago and am loving it! All the variety of things you show are awesome!! Wish we had a Trader Joe’s closer, but love all the dinner ideas you showed today. Do you ever do any gardening, outside porch type videos? Thanks for all your hard work! ☀️☀️☀️

[@juliebarlow9548]

Jen, I use their roasted corn in a hot corn dip for an appetizer. Makes the dip that much better. Love TJ’s!

[@frenchbreadandfamily1811]

Hi Jenn! I so appreciate all of the fresh ideas and inspiration, as I am planning meals after being out of town for a few days! Thank you!

[@MotherThyme]

Hi! Thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed these ideas!

[@JulieStone-tc5vd]

Love these videos! Good good good. I cook everyday too but it's just my husband and I. So thank you for these great ideas!

[@MotherThyme]

Hi! Thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed this!

[@debrackley6278]

Hi Jenn, i love your videos. My favorite things to do! I need to find a close Trader Joe’s. Your meals look easy and delicious! I can’t wait to try the roasted corn and black beans. Yum!

[@andiirish4723]

Yum!! Good thing it's supper time😊 I just got one of the basil plants at Trader Joe's today too 😊 They look so healthy. Enjoy!

[@Sara-md8nu]

Omg. That chicken schwarma in the air fryer is 🔥 I'm salivating at the thought. I'm low carb and did cauli rice which was a bad idea. Next time I'll do a nice salad with it

[@jillr759]

Love that chicken and the flank steak in the bag is also a hot favorite here.

[@buttonsacorns3734]

Love all your recommendations, will definitely be trying them. One of our favorites from Trader Joe’s is their frozen beef and broccoli, so good with just a hint of spice. Also try their grilled olives, and dolmades stuffed grape leaves!

[@MotherThyme]

Hi! I’ll definitely have to try those!

[@verawhite1586]

Awesome video!

[@carmellaraffa6932]

I love Trader Joe’s and your hauls!!♥️

[@MotherThyme]

Thanks so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Have a great weekend!

[@sherylbrotsky6185]

Hi Jenn, well, let me say you are ao proficient with that knife total pro. I'd still be there chopping away. I don't have a Trader Joes, but you gave me some great dinner ideas. I always look forward to Wednesday with Jenn. The chicken bruchetta and garlic pasta looked so yummy I'm going to try that. And I like that clean up is so easy. Thanks again see you soon. 😊

[@debraspringers2098]

All your meals sound so delicious! The chicken looks AMAZING!

[@MotherThyme]

Hi! Thanks my friend! It is so good! It’s a must-try! ❤️

[@barbb.9489]

Great meal plans, thanks!

[@historicallyspeakingwithgi9737]

I also love Trader Joe’s I’m from San Francisco so I was lucky to always have it. My dad is from Italy and he is a chef. He wants you to learn how to pronounce Italian words, but he loves that you love Italian food. It’s pronounced Brew-Sket- a not Brew-shet-a (common American mistake) and you are pronouncing Ah-See-ah-go as ah-she-ah-go. But he said Bravo for your Bruschetta Chicken and I really like your corn salad we make that back home with avocado too.

[@michellelardin834]

I love your meal ideas. I've been to my Aldi so many times in the past month because of your videos. We finally got into our new home and it's right around the corner, yay! I think I've even made my brother a believer. I printed out all your chicken crock pot recipes, every one is absolutely delicious! Thank you so much!! Sadly, there isn't a Trader Joes by me now, but there is by my brother's so I'm going to have to pop in and shop for this stuff we visit.

[@MotherThyme]

Yay! Congrats on the new home! So exciting! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed these meal ideas too! I love Aldi! ❤️

[@jillr759]

What an awesome haul! Love your choices and I’ve always wanted to try the chocolate banana bites! Also the dip looks fabulous. Not thru the whole video if you reviewed it or not. Love the roasted corn and you inspired me to use my bag on this HOT evening! Happy 4th to you and your family.

[@amys.269]

That brushetta chicken looks delicious! A must try! 😊

[@OnyxKat12]

You did a great job with this video.

[@jillr759]

I agree fantastic ideas!

[@Luckykat218]

Good stuff!

[@AngelaChristian-i1q]

Love the cowboy burgers!

[@patricialawlor1644]

oh dear. Can I come and live with you. hahahahahaha. I wish we had Trader Joe's in Canada. I so enjoyed this video. I love the way you cook for your family. When you are busy you still buy good things for meals if one doesnt have the time to cook.I admire how you integrate your homemade with an easier meal that is still so good and healthy for your family. It is so much better tasting than take out. Well done

[@MotherThyme]

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! I love having these easy meals on hand for busy nights. It beats getting takeout and cheaper too!😉

[@carolsmith356]

Love your meal ideas from TJ’s! I enjoy that store so much. I’ve never seen the breaded chicken and I’ll be looking for it next time I go. The shu mai and pot stickers are our “must haves” on every visit! Have you tried their pineapple salsa? It’s delicious and a nice twist when cooked with chicken.

[@Jlr57]

More great ideas for me to try at TJ’s. Thank you I’ll be picking them all up!

[@judithhawkins1126]

Wonderful ideas!!!!

[@MotherThyme]

Thanks so much!

[@maryheckler6766]

Thanks for this video! I don't go to Trader Joe's very often, and I'm open to all suggestions. I go there at Christmas every year to make big old snack bags for everyone on my list.

[@MotherThyme]

You’re welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@sherrykahn2474]

Hi Jenn!I'm much older than you and I'm looking for some shortcuts ,so thank you very much!I will try this this week!!!Going to Traders tomorrow!!!!😁❤👍

[@beccascraps8141]

Yummmmmm that dip might have to impulse its way into my cart too ;)

[@teresaowens6988]

Hi Jenn, I Love all your videos. We don't have a Trader Joe's near our town. Put when we can go to one I always enjoy shopping there. Have a Blessed Week. 🤗

[@MotherThyme]

Hi Teresa! I’m so glad you enjoy them! It’s always fun going there! They have great stuff! Have a blessed day my friend!

[@maryannkilduff8659]

[@MotherThyme]

Wow! That’s so nice and convenient!

[@Jean-sv6kk]

Great ideas. Unbelievable the price of food. GOD BLESS and be safe

[@pamelahinatsu7195]

I love Trader Joe's! I'm lucky because there is one really close to me. Their produce is beautiful.

[@MotherThyme]

Hi! You are lucky it’s so close! Their produce is great too and I always love trying their unique seasonal produce too!

[@gaylablackwell818]

Don't have a Trader Joe's where I live. Enjoy your channel ❤

[@MotherThyme]

Hi! I’m so happy you enjoy it! Have a great evening!

[@valerierandall3640]

We’re just getting a Trader Joe’s, so I’ve never been. Appreciate the video

[@joansmith8613]

A good video. Our traders joe and Aldi is about a hour away. So, I don’t shop there very much at all. I wish they were more convenient. 😊

[@jewelcooke7601]

I just love your candle that you have sitting there and that big white bowl like Picture with the plant in. It is so cute. Do you have a link for that? And I’m a new subscriber today so I just seen you on KZbin and I love your Trader Joe’s meals because I shop at Trader Joe’s every week and I’m looking for ideas, I love the orange chicken and the chicken strips that they have in there, the potato patties with applesauce, hot applesauce, and I love their bags of rice to go with Costco sells really good vegetable wrap that’s crispy in the air fryer and that goes really good together. Usually, I can get it for six dollars for 50 of them. That’s a really good deal.

[@KatieJoMikell]

Ah see ah go

[@denisefazio6708]

I have to find that salad cheese. Thanks for shopping for me

[@MotherThyme]

It’s so good!

[@JenisePowell]

We don’t have a Trader Joe’s. What is a potstickers? Never heard of that. Love your videos. ❤

[@debraprins1437]

Does Trader Joe’s have a gluten free option on the breaded chicken? Thanks

[@nancywilson5635]

Go Bills!

[@みゆストロベリーラブ]

美味しそう🥰🥰🥰いつもKZbin楽しみにしています♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@jessicabickelhaupt]

Does the BUF on your ball cap stand for Buffalo NY?

[@MotherThyme]

Hi! It does. 😉

[@jessicabickelhaupt]

@MotherThyme Love it! Love you! I was born and raised in Buffalo but live in CT now ❤️

[@stephanieinglett8569]

Interesting haul. How much did all of this cost?

[@MotherThyme]

Thanks! It was $179. 😀

[@sherigrimland4682]

Potato salad

[@godisgood678]

No Trader Joe’s but we have a Sam’s! Similar store?

[@MotherThyme]

Hi! They aren't the same. We have a Sam's too. Trader Joe's is more like Aldi just a better variety.

[@elizabethjoypodesta3827]

When the next thrifty video

[@CW-ez7mn]

Wow, how much is her grocery bill. Those package food are expensive and barely filling.

[@mrautomatic9087]
