Last night we went to a potluck dinner with Theron's co-workers. We were in charge of a veggie tray. I didn't feel like spending two hours running to the grocery store, so we stopped by Trader Joes which is just blocks from our house. We have been trying a lot of new things from there recently and have NEVER been disappointed in our purchase. We tried something new for the party and loved it. I don't know if any of our blog readers live near a Trader Joes [if we even have any blog readers :)....], but if you do, I thought I would post some of our top 10 favorite picks:
1) Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (this was what we brought to the party--so good with fresh snap peas!)
2) Sweet Potatoes. They only sell organic ones. They are SOO sweet (Karsten, Morgan and Kari's favorite!)
3) Nothing But Bananas Flattened (Karsten & Aunt Ambies favorite!--it's just dried, flattened bananas-like fruit roll-up consistency).
3) Joes O's (Knock off Cheerios Reg price 1.99 and we like them better than Cheerios)
4) Frozen sliced mixed peppers (Red, Yellow and Green, already sliced--1 lb for $1.29-That's way cheaper than buying them fresh and they are already sliced and ready to cook)
5) Frozen Pot stickers--chicken, veggie or shrimp. Low-fat. YUM!
6) Salsa Fresca Chips --I found these thanks to my dad. We went for a visit and I ate the whole bag. I don't even eat chips, but these are lower fat and have apple, flaxseed, and all sorts of nutritious stuff so I don't feel guilty eating them myself or giving them to Karsten.
7) Blueberry Museli-I mix it will regular oatmeal, cinnamon, bananas and raisins for a wholesome packed breakfast for the whole fam.
8) Chewy Peanut Butter granola Bars- Theron doesn't like granola bars but he likes these.
9) Sauces--We've bought Indian, Thai, Japanese and Chinese cooking sauces and dips and have enjoyed all of them. If you are interested in specific flavors, let me know.
10) Handmade 100% Fresh Fruit Bars-- (Again similar to a fruit roll-up only it's only fruit and fruit juices in all sorts of flavors)

wow - I've never heard of Trader Joes, but that stuff sounds so yummy!!
Oh and what happened to the "I stink" post? It disappeared! :)
Ooooh I want a Trader Joes!! I'll have to scout out if there are any in the area. Such a great selection of healthy treats (which are so hard to come by in your regular grocers) Thanks for sharing!
Yum-reading that made me hungry! I've never had anything from Trader Joes, sure would like to try it!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Hope your day is filled with love.
