Recent Trader Joe faves?

I always find new things that I love there. Not necessarily new to the store but new to me. Anyone have any must haves? My new fave is chocolate candy covered sunflower seeds! Love their English Muffins and light cheese sticks.

I'm also obsessed (have been for a while though) with their frozen flatbreads with ham, onions and gruyere cheese. OMG yum. Bought the cauliflower gnocchi but haven't tried yet.

My regulars are the unsweetened black tea, the unsweetened oatmeal packs, the organic cheese sticks, the chicken and veggie potstickers, the organic frozen berries, the english peas, the miso broth, and of course the chocolate!!!!

Their mango tea bags....great for making iced tea.
Everything but the bagel seasoning. I use it in tuna salad.
Almond croissants...insane!
Ice cream bon bons... great for portion control

The cauliflower gnocchi is amazing but always sold out in Merrick
If you want to be unhealthy- the churros in the red bag
The tube of ginger- SO much easier than grating it
Nourish face wash

These are also faves. I use the seasoning with their organic sour cream (I would never normally buy organic sour cream but they were out of regular once and omg, if all organic foods tasted this much better I'd cough up the money) to make dip for DD to dip her veggies and pretzels.

I originally bought it to make this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/bagel-breakfast-casserole-3814175.amp

I replaced the sausage with bacon. So fatteningly delicious.

The cauliflower gnocchi (but I didn't cook it as per the instructions on the label, that makes it gummy. Just pan fry it for 10-12 min to light crispy).

Artichoke jalapeno dip

Coconut Cold Brew Concentrate

Oh wow I would never think to make dip with it!
That's a great idea. Yum!

DH found this when he was making keto bagels last year. He'd season them with this.
It's so delicious!

Shut up with this casserole!! Looks insane!
I'd have to sub out the provolone cheese though because I can't be in the same room as provolone, but I am sure any cheese would do.

Re: Recent Trader Joe faves?

I buy a lot of frozen stuff :
Frozen roasted potatoes with peppers and onions, what a time saver. Taste like I made them from scratch.
Roasted peppers and onions - DH tosses them into his omelettes.
Organic peas
Roasted corn
Tuna / Salmon / Mahi burgers. again, a real timesaver.
Chicken fried rice, it's WW friendly too.

Everything seasoning
Roasted garlic salt grinder
cat cookies

Yes, that sounds better.
Because one time DH had this nasty ass stenchy block of provolone in the fridge and I kept tearing it apart because I thought something had fallen behind a shelf and rotted there. Every time I opened the damn fridge I would gag. Then I thought perhaps there was a dead rodent behind the walls.
Then I realized the smell of rotting death was actually his Provolone!

I'm off Friday and it doesn't look like it is going to be a beach day.
Might have to do a TJ shopping trip. We usually go to Merrick, any better locations ?
