TONS OF NEW TRADER JOE'S FOODS HAUL

[@lizsim]

Love chick peas with diced tomato and cucumber and parsley

[@georgiede]

The chick peas- I mix in one can of tuna in olive oil and some chopped up marinated artichoke hearts and it makes a couple of lunches!

Good Evening Katie & Tim 🌌 I Love Love Love your whole haul 💕 I miss Trader Joe's I really need to get back there soon because my Grandkids keep asking me when I'm going back to the place with all the yummy😋 food Lol 🤣 Thank You for taking the time out of your busy day and inviting us into your home to share your awesome purchases with us 🌠

[@poketographyyy]

Katie, welcome back! Hope you and Tim had fun in NY! The spicy squiggly noodles aren't too bad in my opinion and have a nice umami flavor--but I also have an abnormally high spice tolerance (as in can take a shot of any hot sauce directly from the bottle without problems) so your mileage may vary! For the egg bites, I know they have cheese in them but I suggest sprinkling some additional pepper jack cheese as a topping or even shredding them up, add some hot sauce, mix with veggies (onions/peppers!) and use them for taco/burrito fillings. As for the mocha pretzels? Definitely you can taste the mocha and the chocolate without either being overwhelming--perfect sweet/salty treat. If you wanted to use them to spice up an ice cream dish, they'd be perfect. Or even as a topping for a cake/pie. Thanks for showing us the new products as always and for the detailed information on them! Looking forward to the taste test.

Love the new Spritzy drink and the Liege Waffles are fantastic with strawberries and whipped cream or to make decadent ice cream sandwiches!

[@cindylw9656]

I love that you are comparing the prices with Costco. It will help us greatly because sometimes we don’t need such a huge portion for our family. It takes us along time to finish sometimes. Thank you!

[@TheTerakitty]

Those eggbites sound amazing 😻

[@andreab9025]

Lots of good stuff! Can't wait! Would love to know what you guys did in NY.

[@looovegoodmusic]

Love mini brie bites, so good! great to take for lunch or do whatever

[@jazzbeaux6154]

I've been wanting to try those Greek chickpeas. Thank uou for Tim's review.

[@paulkoval8258]

The Brioche waffles are AMAZING! They are the most delicious dessert/snacks that TJ has now!!

[@AnnetPapadopoulos-pe2dw]

Definitely toast the new waffles it’s sooooo good

[@KM-fk1jn]

TJ’s currently has “dry farmed tomatoes”. They are super flavorful and taste homegrown. Check it out! 🍅

[@pameladepaul1073]

Absolutely LOVE those! Almost like going to a farmers' market good! 😁

[@KatieHespe]

I will definitely get these when I see them. Thanks!

[@christinestrawser9458]

The cookie mix sounds like the kitchen sink cookies at Aldi. So delicious

[@coloradotrish7297]

Another amazing post -- Katie, HSN has stuffed, lux spider pillows!

[@JulyMoon82]

So many good looking new items. Thanks for sharing, as usual. As a general baking rule of thumb, it's a good idea to refrigerate your cookie dough for at least 10 min after scooping so the butter firms up again in order to reduce the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. Just a tip I've picked up in my culinary career that I notice a lot of people skip, and then wonder why their cookies turn into blobs in the oven.

[@ez6103]

Those chickpeas? Roast 'em up in the air fryer on 400° for 10 or 12 minutes and they become the best kind of crispy and delicious!!!

[@KatieHespe]

Yum! Thanks for the tip.

[@lyswatkins9321]

I love these! I warm them & make Greek 'tacos' with the small soft taco shell & chopped tomatoes, cucumber, sliced kalamata olives & a bit of shredded lettuce & top with tzatziki sauce--SO YUMMY! That's one of our 'meatless monday' specials!

[@jazzbeaux6154]

​@@lyswatkins9321Wow! Thanks. What a great idea.

[@terirachelsims8928]

As usual, I enjoyed your video. I didn't renew my Costco membership after realizing it was too frustrating/time-consuming to go there to actually save very little/having to buy large quantities I really don't need, and the whole parking,/crowded store, etc. just aren't worth it!

[@catmama54]

The taste test should be awesome. They seem to have the best tasting pineapple juice too. I’ve bought others but there’s is the best. I don’t know why but it’s so delicious.

[@kayjacoby290]

The Something Spritzy - I submit you try it plain over ice, then with a little bit of rum, you know, just to see how that tastes. You know, for us.

[@KatieHespe]

Haha I’ll have to do an independent study with rum…for science of course.

[@bonnielemmon8493]

It will be a fun taste test with all the new items. I have been buying several melons each week, so good. They had the Spritzy drink last week and I love it. I am in mourning though, they will be discontinuing my jicama wraps, darn it .

[@yvonneb6540]

Definitegoing to TJ's tomorrow to try some of these new items! Thanks, Katie!!❤

[@TheTerakitty]

TJ’s always disappoints me when they say things are ‘spicy’ 🙄 I’m with you Katie!

[@irener1111]

That pork gelatin bummed me out. Problem was I read the ingredients after I had 2 and they were good!

[@RWCLtd3]

My NY Trader Joe's doesn't have the Sugar Kiss melons. So frustrating! We buy 4 at a time. They are better than any melon I've ever had.

[@alanzemsky7695]

The cashews are delicious!

[@giannellalopez8805]

Good haul Katie ❤😊xo

[@kristenoconnnell1373]

Thank you for sharing all the new TJ finds. Heading there today. Off-topic: What is the color of your nail polish? It's so pretty!

[@KatieHespe]

Thanks it’s Nicole by OPI called “count on me”, unfortunately it’s no longer made. I’ve tried to buy more :( I’m down to just a little in my bottle.

[@cynthiaoconnor7185]

I've noticed mom KZbinrs show the ingredient lists but, as a diabetic, I never see any moms mention the sugars. You have to add both the regular sugars and 'added sugar' together to get the number of grams per serving. So, if those gummies have smaller servings, then you could get 26 total sugar grams for 10 or less gummies. Wow! I'd be in a coma. But, if you're monitoring what your kids or spouse's nutrition, remember to count the sugar.

[@jeanettehightower6495]

Thanks for Sharing!!!!🎉😊❤

[@lessehead]

I don’t like the cold pressed watermelon juice at all. It tastes like watermelon rind and lemon, but not really like watermelon. I couldn’t finish it and threw it out, it was that bad.

[@4BarbaraJ]

Looking forward to the waffles for strawberry dessert. I did try the everything cookie mix. Very disappointed. We loved the one they used to sell in the glass jar. Family favorite. Nobody liked the new mix. Won’t buy it again. We tried the diamond reserve red wine too. So good.

[@marykerwin1048]

Great Haul ❣️

[@maureengunn7952]

Missed you!! Thanks for the great ideas!!

[@shelbyknox9541]

Yum!

[@gailgraham8609]

The chocolate covered gummy bears are delicious.

[@candifeinberg3222]

I mix trader Joe's cumin chicken peas with olive salad and yummy lunch

[@AlwaysHavingFun951]

That sucks about the gummy bears, because I don't eat pork. 😩

[@KatieHespe]

Ya it’s a bummer.

[@aimeeyork6319]

I've been nauseous all day because of the heat, so please tell me you didn't just say, "...pork gelatin..."🙏 (Actually, I just looked up "gelatin", and it shattered my lovely memories of my Mumsy feeding us warm, liquid gelatin when our tummies hurt.🤢) "Gelatin is made from animal collagen - a protein that makes up connective tissues such as, skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones. The hides and bones of certain animals - often cows and pigs - are boiled, dried, treated with a strong acid or base, and finally filtered until the collagen is extracted. Okay. Poor Wilbur. So weird that I love bacon.

[@adrienchandler4906]

The waffles: Lee-EZH.

[@alanzemsky7695]

I kinda think it'd be cool if they sold the "everything but the kitchen sink" cookies all prepared already in a package

[@AnnetPapadopoulos-pe2dw]

The egg bites taste better in the air fryer

[@kimseals3458]

Aldi’s organic zucchini is cheap

[@cheryl-lylbaldr4560]

Okay I went TJ last Thursday with my Katie list. I did try the honey grapes love them but they were gone, I got those tomatoes in the bag to try this weekend. I got Jasmine Rice it was the bigger bag I did not see the organic one my favorite rice with the spanish rice mandatory in my home. I found the gluten free blueberry muffins will try those this weekend and got the strawberry ones too. TJ has the best gluten free bread ever, I spend about 25 on bread alone. I spent like 300 there my go to store. Thanks and love you.

[@KatieHespe]

Love the haul you got!

[@cheryl-lylbaldr4560]
