My favorite things at Trader Joes
Let me preface this by saying that TJ's and I are homies. I do all of my grocery shopping there every week so I consider myself a TJ's pro. A lot of there items taste like things I used to spend a fortune on at gourmet shops and I've rounded up my favorite deals.
I've eaten my share of chocolate croissants and these taste homemade, largely due to the fact that you leave them out overnight to rise and then bake them morning of. AMAZING. We do these a lot on Saturday morning when we don't want to spend money on our favorite brunch spot.
This balsamic glaze is amazing and you can put in on anything, pasta, salad, meat, ice cream. Its delicious.
This is the sausage I used on the spicy italian sausage recipe I posted last week. It doesn't disappoint.
I take cheese very seriously and this is UNBELIEVABLE. Swear it tastes like a $25 a lb cheese. It's Syrah soaked and it can't get any better than that.
Best authentic salsa and its $1.70 each.
I'm also a wine snob and I really enjoy this. Its $4.99 and tastes way more expensive then it is.

GREAT post. I also love TJ's cinnamon-apple sticks, pumpkin-flavored pancake mix, and their TJ brand greek yogurt.
ReplyDeleteHow does one become a wine snob. What book does one read to consider oneself a wine snob. You have read books about wine and like how to read a wine label? don't laugh a wine label should provide you with valuable information well maybe not the ones at TJ though.. Im talkin bout labels from bottles in Europe i guess...
ReplyDeleteDenny blogspot,,woow,,nice friend...
