Hi Friends! We just got home from a fabulous family cruise - more on that later this week! - and stopped at a Trader Joe's in Nashville on our way home. It's about 3 hours from our house, but it was on our way. We ended up stopping at the Hillsboro Pike location. It was super well stocked. I wish we had room for bunches of peonies and a tiny olive tree, but instead we focused on groceries this trip.
We repurchsaed some favorites and tried some new things.
Several of you recommended last month that we try the frozen croissants. We purchased a couple of boxes and loved the chocolate ones. They were so fancy and so good. The kids thought they were fine so I'll probably save the rest for myself - ha! I thought the mini croissants would be good with salads.
We repurchased the cut white corn and vegetable fried rice. The garlic shiitake green beans, roasted potatoes and roasted corn are new to us.
Yum!
We bought pizza dough, pizza sauce and pepperoni to make our own pizzas. I am so excited to try this for dinner one night this week. Their shredded cheeses were $5+ a bag so I skipped those.
We repurchased this salad mix.
I've been on a Caesar salad kick and have purchased Caesar salad kits from all the grocery stores. Trader Joe's is my favorite! I bought a salad kit and a bottle of Caesar dressing.
This was a new salad for us.
I thought this would be yummy warmed up with pita chips.
I was so excited to try this and I didn't care for it :( It was too runny and I didn't love the flavor. It just felt like something was missing.
We got some taco shells to try and picked up this s'mores mix. We didn't love it which was disappointing because we love s'mores stuff. It was very heavy on the chocolate, barely any graham cracker and a little marshamallows. We'll stick with the Sam's s'mores mix.
What should I pick up at Trader Joe's next month?? Are there any Summer staples we need to try?
I have a list of stuff I buy each time I go. Reduced guilt chunky guacamole. It’s made with Greek yogurt and is so good. The garlic version of the Naan crackers are great. Their frozen Spanish rice is a staple in our house. I also really like their butter chicken and their wine selection is great! They have a great chibatta baguette that freezes really well. They have frozen fish nuggets that are great for an easy meal. My husband enjoys their frozen Greek cheese spiral, the strawberry Australian licorice, the frozen spinach and artichoke dip, and he likes trying different beers each time we go. You absolutely have to go during the holiday season. So many delicious treats!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I agree to save the croissants for yourself. :)
