🤩 TRADER JOE’S NEW FALL ARRIVALS + SNEAK PEEK OF 11 NEW ITEMS & GROCERY HAULS 🛒

[@ashleylala4293]

Nice to see another person who actually reads the ingredients! You are my kinda gal! ☺️

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@ashleylala4293 Awwww thank you…right back at ya❣️

[@kathy2933]

Thank you for another great TJ’s shop along. 😊 I so appreciate how you describe each product in detail and show the back of the package. IMO, that’s the most important. You do it so well. My favorite Thanksgiving side is sweet potato casserole and mashed potatoes with gravy. 😋😋😋 I googled the stainless steel “sticking” issue. It said if you add cold ingredients to the hot pan that’ll cause it to stick. 🤷‍♀️ Hope that helps. I love the Siete chips! My favorite is the lime, the sea salt is good too! Enjoy seeing your hauls. Have a great night. ❤

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@kathy2933 You’re so sweet for looking that up!! I feel like my egg was room temperature but maybe the pan was too hot 🥵 I tried to warm it up again with medium heat this time but it still stuck 🤦‍♀️ back to the nonstick pans for now 😕 Oooo sweet potato casserole is a good one too as is mashed potatoes & gravy - such a classic 😋 Do you add marshmallows on top of your sweet potato casserole or nuts or both? Happy Halloween 👻🎃🦇❣️

[@brettlibertucci5604]

If the gravy is too salty just throw a small piece of a potato in with it and simmer it on low for about 10-12 minutes. The potato soaks up some of the salt

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@brettlibertucci5604 This is a GREAT idea 💡 Thanks for sharing this tip❣️

[@ashleylala4293]

The Soffrito is really great for making your own salad dressing. I use Costco’s organic balsamic vinegar, their MCT oil, a little olive oil, a tiny bit of TJ red wine vinegar. A little TJ whole grain mustard is optional. Then you just add a tsp of the soffrito and let it sit a few hrs or overnight. Waaaay healthier and tastier than store bought vinaigrette dressing.

[@traderjoesgeek]

OMG I LOVE this idea 💡 thank you so much for sharing the recipe. I’m definitely going to give this a try❣️

Great video! You can tell that TJ's is starting to slowly transition to the Thanksgiving/Christmas/Hanukkah season. They always have such savory and sweet treats and foods then! Also, gem pears are really good--like Bartlett and sweet and crisp. Worth getting, in my opinion. So is the Princess Danish twist! I also thought it'd be artificial tasting but it's actually so good and flaky. The 'cream' is really light and adds a lot to the flavor and texture. So glad that the Cinnamon Twist Danish is back, too! I had one over a single-weekend period (oops) and it was delicious. Pricey, but worth it absolutely. Especially warmed up and drizzled with some light maple syrup. Thanks for showing us around! Life be lifeing and I hope you're taking care of yourself!

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@poketographyyy You’re so right! All the Thanksgiving items should be arriving by November 4th I heard and there’s already some holiday items trickling in every day 🎄☃️ Thanks for letting me know about gem pears.

@@luciad5988 Absolutely agree 🥔 I also want to try it over rice 🍚 or mixed in with pasta 🍝 too. Thank you so much for watching❣️

[@ashleylala4293]

When using a stainless steel pan, if you sauté a green onion in there before you cook the egg, it helps it to not stick to the pan. I leave the onion in the pan because it adds a really nice flavor to the egg but you can discard the onion if you don’t like it.

[@ashleylala4293]

There’s something about the green onion that helps form a temporary nonstick coating.

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@ashleylala4293 That’s so interesting! I’ll definitely give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing this and for watching❣️

[@ashleylala4293]

Also, I have better luck with butter as opposed to oil when cooking eggs in my stainless pan.

I noticed the rice milk has calcium added to it. I did not see what type of calcium it was. Soy, almond, and rice milk often contain calcium carbonate. This is a very harmful form of calcium that is like concrete. It causes blockages in the arteries, which eventually leads to heart attack and stroke.

I wish they would bring back the Spa Shampoo and Spa Conditioner. I do not care for scent, and I suffer from petroleum sensitivity. I relied on this product for years. I never imagined they were discontinue it. I cannot find anything comparable, and the price was great. I think it was only $1.99. It is a simple, basic, very good shampoo and conditioner with a very mild scent that is barely there. Even if I didn’t have a sensitivity, and when I used to be able to wear perfume, I did not want different competing scents. I only wanted the scent that I choose to wear. I don’t want my hair to smell like one thing, my clothes to smell like another, and then my perfume of choice layered on top of that. Blech. Even toilet bowl cleaner has a strong fragrance now. There’s no getting away from it, unless you start using only vinegar to clean. I saw the CEO of Dr. Bronner’s interviewed, and she said, “Clean doesn’t have a scent.”
