You cant get totally distracted because there are only 4 aisles. Unlike the big grocery stores which take forever to shop at! Ok, #1 - I love that I can get amazing fresh flowers and plants. There orchids are beyond reasonable. #2 - peeled garlic. Need I say more? #3 - belgian chocolate pudding. I add a tad of whip cream and some raspberries to it and presto-quick dessert! #4 - SPICY CHAI mix. This is my new fav. I add a small heap to my english breakfast tea....so yummy! #5 the only maple syrup that I buy - is "the jug" as my kiddos refer to it. Its pricey, but the best maple syrup ever! <br />Thanks for the TJ fix :)<br /><br />XOX<br />Lolo<br /><br />ps - lvoe the steel cut oatmeal too! Sure beats the other way - soaking overnite!!!Lolo @ The Adventures of Stig and Lolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05785601155247713679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-76715812774974591912011-01-04T10:53:09.731-05:002011-01-04T10:53:09.731-05:00P.S.

Now, I'm adding some of your things to my list and I'm going to see what everyone else recommends and then I will spend the rest of the afternoon resisting the urge to run to TJ's.

I am also guilty of buying their products just because of the packaging, but some of our favorites are the dark choc. covered blueberries and the powerberries. I bought the peppermint hot chocolate for Christmas treat (haven't even tried it yet) and we LOVED the Gingerbread coffee. We are roasted brussel sprouts fans at this house. I do the same thing with frozen ones and then toss with diced pancetta that I "fry up" in some olive oil.... so delicious!!!

Chop a few of those up and blend with cream cheese for a tasty dip.<br /><br />Lately, we've been warming up Pear Cinnamon Cider and putting in TJ's Paso Robles Muscato. Very soothing.<br /><br />It was fun reading about your finds.

I was heart broken to find that there was no Trader Joes here in Colorado when we moved here 16 years ago. The only thing we have that comes close (and it's not really that close) is Whole Foods. I so badly wish they had a TJ here. Who knows...maybe someday. Afterall, they are building an IKEA (YEAH) close by, so there's always hope for TJ.Susan Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387510304089583710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-15939526742032572952011-01-02T22:25:17.573-05:002011-01-02T22:25:17.573-05:00We just got a Trader Joe's and I haven't b...We just got a Trader Joe's and I haven't been there yet.

Loved seeing all your daughters on that Christmas card of yours!<br /><br />I have 4 "must have" items that I just have to get every time I go to TJ's.... #1. Chocolate Sunflower Seed Drops and #2. Lemon Verbena Soap #3. freeze dried strawberries and #4. Charmingly Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. <br /><br />Sometimes I like to mix items #1 and #3 together big handful scoops at at time... Almost as if I'm eating chocolate covered strawberries! YUM! <br /><br />Have a wonderful 2011! <br />Courtney :o)Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717655381616300175noreply@blogger.com
