EXPLOSIVE NEW TRADER JOE'S HAUL HUGE HAUL, TONS OF SEASONAL AND NEW ITEMS

[@lilaweinstein3816]

Brown butter cookies or brown butter Rice Krispie treats are to die for 😍 The little speckles are browned milk fat/solids. Almost a caramelized/toffee flavor when used in baked goods. Sooo yummy 🤤

[@mollymcdonald2268]

The margarita mixer serving is 13g of sugar in a 2oz portion and the jalapeno limeade is 23g of sugar in an 8oz. The margarita mixer would be 52g of sugar for the same serving size as the limeade. Just wanted to share that tidbit if you're watching your sugar intake. Thanks for another great haul video!

[@lose999]

I hope your recovery is swift and painless. I love that you love your family so much. I wish we were neighbors.

[@mariamayub212]

Really wonderful and huge haul this week! I'm looking forward to the taste test and I'm sending you lots of good vibes for your recovery from your surgery. Thank you so much for thinking of us during this time! Big hugs!

[@selen7009]

Hi Katie! it seems like jalapeno limeade one has way less sugar per serving. your fav margarita mixer has 13 per 2 oz while jalapeno one has 23 per 8 oz if I have seen it correctly.

[@KatieHespe]

Ahh thank you! I will have to reevaluate my margarita!

[@selen7009]

@@KatieHespe of course! and best of luck with your surgery!

[@miaweston]

I hope Lasik went well Katie, take all the time you need to recover

[@cdavis1267]

I hope all went well with your surgery and thank you for the weekly hauls

[@Fatima-ov7jz]

Hi Katie! The flecks in the brown butter are the milk solids (that turn brown when you make brown butter), they are in regular butter but you can't really see them when you just melt it. With brown butter there is a nuttier flavor and if added in cookies it almost gives it a butterscotchy taste!

[@KatieHespe]

Thank you so much for the great info!

[@Fatima-ov7jz]

@@KatieHespe No problem! I hope you're recovering well from your surgery!

[@jessicaescareno1083]

@@KatieHespe Brown butter is also used in things like gravy’s and jambalaya. Brown butter just gives dishes a more smoky and intricate flavor! Hopefully this helps 🥺💗

[@Fatima-ov7jz]

@@jessicaescareno1083 I haven’t really seen brown butter in savory dishes, that’s good to know!

[@reginay7729]

The dark specks in the brown butter is probably the browned/burnt milk solids in butter. Love all the jackfruit options btw!

[@KatieHespe]

Thank you!

[@aleksandrrozentsvit8390]

TJ's recalled brown butter. Someone at TJ's said quality control issues.

[@breel4769]

I bet that browned butter would be so good over the sweet potato gnocchi 😍

[@tinaparmer6545]

Hope all went well with the Lasix! Would love to see a video about it🤗

[@carynbrock4667]

I got LASIK years ago in the early morning... They sent me home afterwards, told me I'd sleep for three hours (which I did), and then I was good to go. I had to do the recovery stuff but I physically felt great and could see perfectly right away so hopefully you won't need much recovery food. Good luck!!!

[@trisha3338]

I had brown butter and sage cheese ravioli in a very nice restaurant and it was delicious! You could buy a fresh sage and brown it and put it in the dish 💕

[@nancyfasolino7607]

I haven’t tried the brown butter yet but I make my own homemade ghee with Kerri gold from cosco and when the butter cooked down on medium heat the milk solids sink to the bottom and get brown that’s what ghee is butter without milk solids so it’s milk solids lol

[@t.twotimes2749]

Time for a TJ’s run. So many of my faves are back!!!!!

[@Sarena13]

Waiting for the ketchup spud crunchies to come back 🥳

[@chrispeterkin9071]

they are discontinued

[@thomassanfrancisco5850]

There's always something new and exciting at TJ.

[@denisebroeker4215]

Lime spindrift in Margaritas!

[@KatieHespe]

Omg yes!! Spindrift is all I drink!

[@Juniper_Moana]

Roast carrots, mix that brown butter with a very small amount of brown sugar and some garlic and toss the carrots with that and some thyme. Also great with gnocchi and sage leaves. I don't mind at all when there are not commercials. Hope you're recovering well and feeling good!

[@KatieHespe]

Thanks for the recipe tip!

[@lynnm9138]

Good luck with your surgery! Thanks for completing your Trader Joe’s videos. They are lucky you do these!!

[@iz3627]

The little dark specs in the brown butter are the caramelized milk solids from the butter which turn a darker color because of the Maillard reaction.

[@13yorkdukes]

I love spicy margaritas so I use the jalapeno limeade and put the chili lime seasoning on the rim of my glass for extra spice and it's delicious!

[@pattituron8510]

Thanks for all the great ideas. I have tried so many things from your Trader Joe's haul ~ look forward to the taste test. I am a native Californian. Born in San Bernardino and lived in the Long Beach area. I live in Washington state now.

[@fionakarbel258]

Use the brown butter for mizithra spaghetti like at The Old Spaghetti Factory

[@sassygsdmom3770]

My favorite dish at the Old Spaghetti Factory!

[@mouseofthehouse929]

You gotta try the Brazilian cheese bread! And ice cream bon bons. Oh and the vanilla and chocolate macarons! And the almond butter pretzels. Those are my obsessions right now. Btw I love your 👓 on you. I love watching your videos they get me so pumped to go to TJ each week. Can't wait to go tomorrow 😊

[@KatieHespe]

I w tried everything you mentioned and reviews it all. I like all of those amazing products too!

[@karleighblack5457]

Just an fyi, the serving size for the margarita mix is only 2 fluid ounces, vs the limeade which is 8 fluid ounces. So the margarita mix ends up being way higher in sugar.

[@marygrott8095]

I hope your surgery goes well and that your recovery is relatively easy.

[@misha745]

I'm hoping you had a speedy recovery and that everything will or has gone well with the LASIK.

[@sscott504]

I absolutely love the Cauliflower rice stir fry

[@sunny234a]

Yes! it's sooo good

[@cheyanner.2201]

I had lasik years ago! Got it at night also and couldn’t even open my eyes but went to bed and woke up and could see clearly! Hope all went well, can’t wait to hear about your experience 🥰

[@KatieHespe]

Yes this is the same experience I had! Got home last night at 9pm, woke up this morning and I can see.

[@cheyanner.2201]

It was scary but so worth it! Glad all went well 💙❣️💙🥰

[@cate4073]

Have you noticed a change with the chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels? They used to be my absolute FAVORITE but the last bag I bought (in the new packaging) was not the same at all.

[@datamaker1]

I love that creamer.

[@siria3349]

I like the Trader Joe's margarita mixer for making Cadillac Margaritas on the rocks. They are delicious, and the mixer keeps well in the refrigerator. Since the bottle is not too big, I can usually finish it before I get tired of them.😉

[@KatieHespe]

Exactly!

[@hameednelson]

The Coconut and Almond Creamer is delicious on oatmeal, too.

[@irener1111]

Hope the eye Lasiks went well. My TJ’s said the Brown Butter was recalled. Any info on that?

[@lindyque]

Yeah, Katie! Thank you! Can’t wait to watch the taste test! I’m sure your 👁👁 are doing well! No more 👓👓👓♥️👍🏼

[@jenniferlund9646]

The peony candle is my favorite! I’m so excited to stock up!

Browned butter makes the best cookies

[@connie6410]

Wow, that is huge haul, Katie! Thanks for the margarita recs. I also get headaches from really sugary drinks and I've never heard anyone else say that. I'm excited to see all the new products in the taste test tomorrow. Have a speedy recovery!

[@robynp8697]

Nice haul, thanks, will have to try the cold brew. I got in trouble with the peanut butter covered Joe Joe's last week - so good, and so addicting!

[@bonnielemmon8493]

What a fantastic haul, so many new products. I need to buy all of them. The jackfruit sounds so amazing. Hope you are doing well after your surgery.

[@nextbiggthing94]

The limeade sugar is for 8 fl oz and the mix is for 2 to oz so for the same amount of juice as mix it’s only 5.75 grams of sugar. That’s if you’re using the same amount though. Just a thought 😁

[@paulapirpignani4802]

Good luck w your surgery Katie! And may your recovery be sooner than later🤸🤸🤸

[@Melissa2087]

That watermelon cucumber cooler sounds DELICIOUS!

[@lynnloehr1566]

The serving size is probably much smaller on the mixer one. It's only 2 oz. I noticed on the skinny margurita mix serving size is really small. That's how the sugar is so low. The serving size on the limade is probably 8 oz.

[@lindarichie2585]

[@catpuccino8088]

Awesome Haul! Good luck with your surgery and recovery!

[@emilyrich756]

When you compared the sugar you compared two different amounts of liquid the margarita mix was only 2 oz with 13 grams so actually so if you were to do like a half cup or cup it would be a insane amount of sugar. The limeade Was I think 8 oz worth so I think it’s the same or the mix is actually more.

[@pennyfancies9856]

Brown butter is more savory & nutty than regular butter. It's great with vegetables. I also like it in rice krispy treats with a touch of vietnamese cinnamon. It's like a grown up version or so I tell myself.

[@KatieHespe]

Thank you! I love your recipe idea too.

[@debbiecanada8204]

Awesome haul Katie 🍋🐝🌼🌻✨ I hope everything goes well for you make sure you get lots of rest see you in the taste test tomorrow 🙏✨🙏✨🙏✨Thank you for sharing all your Trader Joe's items they look amazing and tasty I haven't got to go for a little while I'm going to try to go sometime this month 🤗💖😊

LASIK was the best decision back in 2003 for me! Though I’m now wearing readers because it does not prevent aging eyes!

[@Sandi-ke9mi]

Katie is it true that Trader Joe’s discontinued chicken chilaquiles Rojo from the frozen section? That’s what my husband told me when he went last week and I’m hoping he was mistaken. 🙏🏻💞 Congratulations on your Lasix, wishing you a speedy recovery❣️ I’m so excited to be the first comment, lol. 🥰

[@KatieHespe]

I’m not sure. If he asked someone and they looked it up I’m sure they gave the correct info to your husband. Sorry :(

Do you work in Trader Joe’s corporate or in the stores? I’m interested in applying hehe

[@KatieHespe]

I just work as a crew member at a store.

[@JLFreeland]

Do you think it would be too late for me to call My Trader Joe’s tomorrow and ask them to set aside a case of jalapeño limeade for Saturday? My husband has been waiting for it to come back since it left last year.

[@KatieHespe]

I believe the order for that particular product is either 1 or 2 days out. So if you’re going saturday it’s perfect timing to call tomorrow and ask for a case to be ordered for you.

[@SBChambochay]

I bought the Estero wine last week and went back and bought 4 more the next day. It's so smooth! Hope you're recovering well. Out of curiosity, what was your sight at before Lasik and do you have astigmatism? I'm told that I'd be a great candidate but I'm too scared.

[@KatieHespe]

Great news about the wine!! My prescription was -4.75 and I had a bad astigmatism in my left eye and very little in my right. The procedure went great. Woke up this morning with 20/20 vision. They told me I was a perfect candidate too. Age is a huge factor.
