    I love the everyday type of content. I'm not into makeup videos anymore, so I'm so glad that you have added lifestyle videos the last few years because I really like you and Tyler. ❤

    I love the Trader Joe’s miniature ice cream cones. They are so cute and delicious and like 40 cal or something like that. The perfect little treat after dinner that isn’t a huge cheat

    Do you massage your kale? That’s probably why you don’t like it in salads. Just chop it up and dress with olive oil, lemon juice and salt and massage it to make it tender.

    100% Trader Joe’s sourdough bread! It’s absolutely perfect for avocado toast. And yes, I buy the 6 ct bag of avocados from Costco and let them ripe on the counter in a fruit bowl then I put them in the fridge, they last for so long. I usually eat avocado toast on my days off so I only eat twice a week. Plus we get the everything bagel seasoning, coconut aminos, unsalted cashews and organic pitted dates. So good! 🤗

    Yes! Love these hauls! I have had favorites discontinued. I used to love frozen eggplant cutlets, salted edamame, soy, and flaxseed tortilla chips. I love their honey crisp apples - just the right size, salsa, Two Buck Chuck Merlot. I love the dark chocolate marshmallow candies, dark chocolate 100 calorie bars, pear champagne vinaigrette, chicken wonton, salmon patties, dips, pita chips, chicken sausage. Dryer balls (not to eat). I have tried a few of their beauty products. I have not been in so long.

    Everytime I go to TJ, I get a bag of Cruciferous Crunch Collection salad mix. It has kale, brussels sprouts, broccoli, green cabbage, and red cabbage in it and its all finely chopped for a great chopped salad with lots of nutritional benefits. I add fetta cheese, olives, salami, oil and red wine vinaigrette. its amazing!

    Purely Elizabeth is a good brand for granola plus they use coconut sugar or other lower glycemic index sugars. Costco has a blueberry keto granola and it's so good, very low sugar as well. As far as trader Joe's goes, I always get their coconut smoothie which is just coconut meat and coconut water, we love their habanero salsa and their creamy jalapeno one, the green goddess dressing is yummy and healthy, their grass fed organic whole milk for the kids is a must, everything but the bagel seasoning, we always have their turkey corn dogs, orange chicken, and chicken fried rice but there are so so many good things that we constantly get.

    Our nearest Trader Joe’s is an hour and a half and a ferry ride away so I only get to go when we have specialist appointments. lol. Our favorites are the mandarin chicken (both my one year old and three year old love it), the chai tea bags, the cinnamon schoolbook cookies, the dress circle crispy crunchy chocolate chip cookies, the vegan caramelized onion dip (got the non vegan one this time and it’s not as good), the tiny gummy bears, the cannoli dip with the waffle cookies were good, the baked cheese bites with truffle, cheese straws. We have a lot of favorites!

    TJ’s has the BEST aged balsamic vinegar. I buy 2 bottles to stock up every time. It is great for dressings or cooking and also on avocado toast. And it doesn’t have “caramel coloring” like a lot of other balsamics - its color comes naturally!
    My daughter also LOVES their soup dumplings. She’s 11 and can prep them herself in the microwave for lunch or a snack!

  • @jeslovesjesus
    @jeslovesjesus 11 месяцев назад +3

    I just discovered that Trader Joe’s has Jicama wraps! They are really good if you’re having a low carb night and especially since you like crunch. A lot of people aren’t familiar with jicama but it’s a root veggie that taste like an apple and a potato had a baby 😂🤣.

    @GordonLouis-w9f 11 месяцев назад

    I go to TJ's just for the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. Little bag, only 8 or 9 pieces inside, sometimes every night - can't get into too much trouble with those. Also, shouldn't have cows' milk anymore, so Goat Milk does it for me, and they have the cheapest deal in town. Lastly, their Field Greens with chicken tossed salad has good romaine, shredded red cabbage, couscous, currants, veggies and the best Sweet Basil creamy dressing that I can't find anything like anywhere else. Of course, the dressing is only in a little squeeze pouch inside the salad container and not sold in a bottle by itself...YUM! Love the vlogstyle Jessica, Thanks!

    I love Trader Joe’s! There are numerous things I can’t live without that of course you can only get there; the facial exfoliating scrub, the vegetarian fried rice, the tamari soy sauce crackers and dog treats (the beef rolls smell oddly good to me!?!!). And of course there are the seasonal things like the addictive white chocolate peppermint covered pretzels in Dec that I wish they had all year (but also am kind of glad they don’t because I devour them!)! 😋
