Shout out to Trader Joes

[TulipsAndSunscreen]

Ok, so you guys motivated me yesterday to pick up some of the orange chicken. We really don't usually do prepared foods (price, quality are usually gross) but you have made us BELIEVERS in the orange chicken. I grabbed some and put it over quinoa last night. YUM!! Definitely now on the permanent shopping list for TJs. Also, I think there's enough sauce that you could totally mix in some veggies as well. DELISH.

Is the Orange Chicken in the frozen foods?

[Chrisada]

Yup.

We have 10 bags of it in our freezer right now! The kids LOVE the orange chicken. Yummmy....I think it'll have to be on the menu for tonight.

I usually mix in cooked broccoli w/ the chicken and sauce, and serve over rice.

OMG - my friend just sent this to me after I emailed her about our new TJ's grocery service

It's billed as "the commercial I'd make for Trader Joe's" ... it's hillarious.

OMG Jenn, that was awesome!! So funny!!!

Perfect, fantastic idea Jane! I could also see some cut up red peppers or snow peas.

Can I just say that I am in heaven right now?!? Eating TJ's sweet potatoes with walnuts and cranberries....soooooooo good!

[DCJenn]

Seriously.

They opened one about 15 minutes from my house about a year ago and I FINALLY decided to go check out what all the fuss was about on Wednesday. Well worth the trip is all I can say.

I felt like I was in chocolate heaven! I got dark chocolate covered cranberries, dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts, peppermint jojo cookies, chocolate covered peppermint jojos, and to feel somewhat healthy I tossed in some fresh pineapple.

Consider me a fellow TJ junkie!

That's it, I am going tomorrow. And that orange chicken is on my list! (I might just be nice and get J those peppermint JoJo things you have been bragging about too.

Love the orange chicken; get a couple bags every time we go; it's the go-to easy/relatively quick dinner around here. Did you try the cranberry chevre while you were there? Last two times I've been to the one near me, they've had it out in slices on crackers at the wine-tasting stand. SO GOOD; the sweet of the cranberry balances out the tang of the cheese just perfectly. We're going to take some to DH's parents for Thanksgiving.

I bought some-- any suggestions to go with it? Anything more exciting than plain crackers?

Just went to TJ, I can not find the peppermint JoeJoes anywhere... AHHHH Help me, where are they found out in the store?

[peggyfromwastate]

We don't have them in yet.

They're only seasonal.
