"muscari" = I always think of grapes! And I bellieve that when these plants bloom, the little purple buds appears similar to teeny-tiny grapes. 😃Those peanut butter chips look dangerous and yummy. I really appreciate your sense of adventure in trying new foods and incorporating international cuisines into your meals. As always, you offer the BEST tour of new products at TJ's. Your recommendations are so on point. You tell the truth of what you experience. And so many of your suggestions to pair items (like the satay sauce) are the thinking outside-of-the-box that is so helpful. Enjoy all those goodies and wishes for your continued recovery from the cold. 🥰
How cute that muscari blooms little purple buds 🍇 makes sense to call it that now that you mention it because muscari is close to muscat which is a type of grape 💜 Thank you so so much for being so kind and sweet. I really appreciate you always watching 🥹🥰💕
Grape hyacinth
@@susanmorris3822 thank you 💜💜💜
Can’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers fabulous channel love from Manchester England x
Awwww thank you so much for the kind words 🥹🥰 This made my day❣️I think a lot of it depends on the number of likes 👍🏻 I get from the video which then helps push my video out to more people to know my channel even exists. Also, so cool that you’re watching all the way from England 🏴🤯
WOW!!! 😮😮😮 this was a jam packed video with all the Valentine's Day items, haulSSSS and the Thai treats! 👏👏👏
I had to make up for not posting a video last week 😅 Thank you so much for always watching❣️
Enjoyed watching your video, would love to shop at Trader Joe’s😍greetings from Europe!
Wow 🤩 Thank you so much for saying hello and watching all the way from Europe❣️ What part of Europe are you located?
OMG! Those Thai treats/foods looks amazingly delicious. I’m so jealous, we have nothing like that in my area. ♥️♥️♥️your content, thank you for sharing!
Awww that makes me happy to hear you enjoyed it❣️California has so many different types of cuisines so we are pretty spoiled over here. Where abouts are you? Thank you so much for alwsys watching 🥰
How much of the bourbon vanilla did you use in a cup of coffee? I bought some, but I'm not sure how much is too much! Thanks!
I used a teaspoon ☕️ It was a little tough to get out though because it’s so goopy 😅 curious to hear your thoughts 💭 after you try it❣️
I think the popcorn sample you had was sprinkled with something- maybe the Everything but the Leftovers seasoning? Because the olive oil popcorn is definitely simple, just sprinkled with salt.
You are so right❣️ I realized that too because after I bought a bag of it & ate it 🤭 I think they used the green goddess seasoning in my sample 💚
🎉🎉🎉Yay! So happy to hear your voice❣️You can tell you’re not 100% yet, but I hope you’ll be there soon. Went to TJ’s last night. My store didn’t have the Aglio Olio seasoning yet. Hope they get it soon. I did get the peanut butter baking chips to put in my baking cupboard. I bought 3 bags of the mini dark chocolate pretzels. My husband & I sampled a few and thought they were delicious. I also purchased the Jelly Bean hearts on your recommendation and LOVED them! Thank you 🤗 I can’t wait to try the Lip Mask duo, my store only had a few last night, so I grabbed one. I’m going to make some frosted brownies and put the Valentine Sprinkles on top for my students. Thanks for the review at the end & bonus Aldi & Sam’s Club haul. The Thai Shop looked amazingly delicious. 😋 Glad you’re feeling a little better. Take care. 😍😍
Awww that’s so sweet of you to make brownies for your students❣️I didn’t know you were a teacher 👩🏫 how cool 😎 what grade or subject do you teach?
You are totally right. I’m still not 💯 % yet 🤒Everyone around me was sick so I eventually caught it but somehow got even more sick than the people I caught it from ☹️ It’s definitely wiping me out longer than I expected 🤒
So glad you enjoyed the mini dark chocolate pretzels 🥨 I really thought they’d be a hit for me but I always somehow manage to pick the bag or box with the stale items EVERY TIME 😭
Curious to hear your thoughts on the lip duo 👄 I bet it smells amazing 🤩
As always thank you so much for watching❣️
@@traderjoesgeek I’m in Special Ed, middle school level & absolutely love it. The lip mask duo does smell yummy. I like the berry more than the chocolate & it does deliver the moisture as promised.
@@kathy2933 Thanks for the feedback on the lip mask duo 👄 I’ve got to say all teachers are great but I feel like being a special education teacher is a different level of amazing. It takes a very caring person to make that kind of difference in the students’ lives 🥹🥰
Sister shopper! Happy to hear you and hope you’re at 100% soon. So many things to look for on my next trip. Your Thai store looks exciting! Thank you, take care ❤❤
Awww thank you so much 🥰 which items are you going to pick up? I’m always curious as to what everyone buys and enjoys 😋
@@traderjoesgeek You asked! I made a list but for sure the garlic shiitake green beans. And maybe a plant.
@@LisaMerideth-i8t spoiler alert 🚨 I picked those up the garlic shiitake green beans also which you will see in the next video 😉 ooooo which plant are you thinking? I want to buy a plant 🪴 also but never can decide which one to get 🤔
I've been making smoothies with the power purple juice, cherry skyr yogurt, and frozen fruits and greens blend and they are so good!
That sounds delicious yum 😋 how much yogurt do you usually add in to your smoothie?
I think you give a good description of the things you have tried.
Thank you so much❣️
Loved your video ! 😊
Thank you so much for watching❣️
I love the Thai peanut sauce! It’s really good! Did you see the heart shaped raviolis at TJs?
YAY glad you enjoyed it 🥜😋 I keep hearing good reviews on it and definitely picking it up on my next trip 🛒 What did you pair the sauce with?
I posted the heart ravioli on RUclips shorts/instagram/tiktok but I haven’t actually seen them or the artisanal heart pasta yet in my store 😢
@@traderjoesgeekawesome! I bought the raviolis but still need to try!
The peanut sauce is great with a rice bowl-added chicken, cucumber and greens. I want to try with noodles too. I added coconut aminos/lime juice and ginger/garlic powder to it and turned it into more of a sauce since it’s thick on its own. Came out great!
Actually, in south Florida strawberry season begins in late December and runs until late February or early March. I can't seem to find strawberries that look as good as yours did, although I no longer live in Florida.Thanks for the video & I hope you continue to feel better!
I love facts like this 🤓 Thank you for sharing this❣️What state do you live in now? I totally thought strawberry season was in the summer but I wonder if that differs depending on the state? I have noticed that whatever fruit is in season, it always tastes the best when they first return in the stores and then as their season runs out, they all kind of take a turn 😕 thank you so much for the well wishes and for watching❣️
Muscari also called grape hyacinths... Little purple clusters, spring blooming bulbs.
That’s so cute 🍇🪴💜 thanks for letting us know❣️
Enjoyed your Thai visit, as well! So interesting! Thank you so much! Well Done!
Yay 😃 glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching❣️
Blueberries,
The Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit environmental health organization, just added the nutrient-rich berry to its list “dirty dozen” nonorganic produce after concluding that it contained roughly 54 different types pesticides, including phosmet and malathion.
Ugh berries are the worst in terms of pesticides 😫 Apples are also on the dirty dozen list 😭 I have yet to find good tasting organic apples at the supermarket though. And I haven’t seen my favorite envy apples come in organic except when I was visiting the east coast 😢
Muscari are small grapes hyacinth plants that do well in a lot of climates.
Good to know 🤓 are they relatively easy to maintain at home?
Try the coconut n pancake street food 👍I’m always in a blueberry kick I get organic at Costco and love yo put it in my cottage cheese with strawberries and stevia maple extract vanilla extract so yummy
I definitely will have to give the Thai coconut pancakes a try 🥥 🥞 at some point but I’m trying hard to stick to my new years resolution goal and not buy any more frozen items (with the exception of frozen fruits or veggies) until I clear out the food from last year. Surprisingly I end up going the savory route with my cottage cheese every time. I usually add grape tomatoes to it and sprinkle a little EBTB seasoning on it 😋
Thanks. Nice haul. 😊
Thank you so much for always watching❣️
Thai coconut pancakes, need to purchase.
YAY 🥥🥞🛒❣️ did you get to try it yet?
Hi!!’ I love those jelly beans too my favorite! And I heard that new chocolate protein smoothie tastes like play dough 😩I’m somewhat gearing up for whole 30 slow and steady I finally picked up the raw sourkraut at Costco it’s really good!! Great for whole 30
Those 💕 jelly beans are seriously the best 😋 I also keep hearing bad reviews on the chocolate almond smoothie 😕 Oh I love the sauerkraut at Costco. I ALWAYS buy it when it goes on sale. What do you pair it with? I usually add it as a side to salads or sandwiches. I always forget to add it to hot dogs 🌭 until after the fact 🤦♀️ I’m slowly gearing up for whole 30 also. I’m dreading it but also excited about it too 😆
Musscari, Nick name grape hyacinth.come in purple, pink and white.
How pretty 😍 I didn’t know they came in different colors. Thanks for sharing❣️
Great video!! Could you please post the Chocolate Chip cookie recipe?
Thank you so much 🥰 I will share the 🍪 recipe after I perfect executing it👩🏼🍳the first time I made it…let’s just say it came out not so great because I didn’t read the instructions 🤦♀️ even though I had the exact ingredients that needed to be used. I’m determined to give it another try because I can’t depend on asking my neighbor for cookies all the time 🤭 Once it comes out the way it’s intended though, I’ll definitely share 🍪🤗 wish me luck 🍀😅
I don't think she was asking for a picture, just the recipe. Lol
Duh 🤦♀️ that makes sense. Thank you for catching this❣️
Here’s the link to the chocolate chip cookie recipe that I was trying to follow:

@@traderjoesgeek thank you so much!
“Located just east of the southern portion of Africa, the area known as the Bourbon Islands includes the islands of Réunion, Madagascar, Mauritius, Comoro and Seychelles. Hence, when we refer to Madagascar Bourbon, we’re referring to the region and not to the liquor.” From Nielsen-Massey description.
Interesting 🤓 thank you for sharing❣️
Thank you.
@@judygillespie3242 Thank you so much for watching❣️
Cam you please film your Costco Shopping trips
Absolutely❣️Working on getting a Costco shop with me video hopefully next week 🛒😃🍫
I don’t know where you’re located. When you say “Thai Town” what are you referring to? Where is it?
I’m in California 🤗 I thought I mentioned that it was Thai town in Los Angeles but maybe I didn’t 🤔 I was still a little under the weather when I posted the video 🤒 Thanks so much for watching❣️
@@traderjoesgeek that’s great to know! I’m in Orange County, so maybe one day I’ll check it out! You may have said LA, perhaps I missed it. Thanks for responding! I love Thai food!
@@kelligagnon8569 Hi neighbor❣️I’m also in Orange County 🍊🤗 so when I make the trek up to Los Angeles I make it worth the drive and just buy what I want since I rarely go…at least that’s how I like to justify my shopping 🛍️🤭 You should totally check it out though if you happen to be in LA and if you’re into trying new foods. It’s called Bhan Kanom Thai near Hollywood.
@traderjoesgeek Thank you for the info on the Thai bakery! Riverside County here. Will have to make the trip to LA to visit that bakery. Haven't been too thrilled with Vietnamese bakeries in the Inland Empire, as we seem to experience stomach aches every time. Take care 🙏🏽🕊
@@ylive5169 You’re so welcome❣️Hope you find some goodies that you like and don’t upset your stomach. Thank you so much for watching 😍
we buy the Moo syrup all year
Oh good to know 🤓 Thank you for sharing this❣️
What is the name of the Thai Bakery ? The Vietnamese Bakeries in Garden Grove would be worth investigating ! I enjoy Thai food and the people in general. The bakery looks so bright and clean ! Thanks for sharing.
It’s called Bhan Kanom Thai. I have checked out the Vietnamese bakeries as well in Garden Grove & Westminster also❣️Which Vietnamese bakeries do you recommend? 😊 Their desserts are similar to Thai desserts but also slightly different. I feel like there’s so many more Thai desserts to choose from 🤤 Whenever I make the trek to Los Angeles I end up buying a lot since I go maybe 2 or 3 times a year & make a day of it and order Thai food also 🤭
Lots of emulsifiers and bad oil in the Black Garlic Dip.
Ahh bummer 😕 has it arrived at your store?
Muscari is grape hyacinth
Thanks for letting us know 💜💜💜
It is pronounced "Al-yo ol-yo" seasoning.
Thank you for this 🤓❣️
@@traderjoesgeek You are most welcome. Thank you for the video!
@@JosiePosie821 Thank you so much for watching 😍
Sugar,fat,sugar,fat
💯%
Love Trader Joe's; but their food has terrible ingredients. Seed oils in almost everything. I realize it is mostly packaged foods. Too bad.
Agreed with everything you said❣️I love Trader Joe’s also but yeah…the ingredients not so much 😞
