A little post vacay nostalgia… Sort of…

I finally feel like recovery from California, (and the EVIL stomach virus of the vacation) is a possibility… I thought I’d take the opportunity to show you some souvenirs that I brought home. 
 gifts for the girls, of course…
 For the husband’s yummy saturday morning pancakes…
 Stocked up! yum! 
 Amanda’s favorite…

 I LOVE these silly fig bars… 
 hard to read, from the dumb flash, but these are Gorgonzola crackers, and let me just say: OH MY GOSH, these are FANTASTC! Amazing with cheese, amazing with hummus… just GOOD yumminess… 
 Pasta, gnocchi and more pasta… 
 i am selfish here and won’t share. this is my FAVORITE Salad dressing ever- turned on to it by a good, kind and generous friend!

 BEST Biryani I’ve ever had! 
 YUM!!!

So bored yet? I’m sorry… i just love (and miss) Trader Joe’s so much. Everything you saw here, we bought multiple amounts of… We had a ridiculous amount of food, which filled up the back of my SUV and we only spent $178. It’s ridiculous… The things we got would last us 4-6 months… 
I am hoping to go back to TJ’s early in the fall to stock up on soups and a few more things. (LOVE their soups!) 
Are you a TJ’s shopper??? What are your favorite Trader Joe’s things?

  1. We don't have a TJs but they have wonderful snacks and you picked up a few I really love. Lately I've been loving their roasted seaweed snack, their frozen balsalmic veggies, and their frozen garlic fries. Mmmm! I also love their cinnamon bread and they have this sparkling wine that it awesome!

  2. oh, my gosh! that's a haul. if you ever want anything– let me know! i can ship non-perishables to you! my favorite thing at TJs are their frozen treats– like, chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches… oh boy.

  3. I used to be a big Trader Joe's girl. When I moved away from one, I would drive 2 hours every other week to stock up. I found that I could "live" with the regular grocery store, but I definitely take a trip there when I visit my parents.

  4. Jen, We will go out of our way just to stock up at least twice a year… if we found our favorite things locally, through a different brand- that would be different. We just can't seem to!
