Omg, tears in my eyes seeing how loving and affectionate Tim is to Benson! Benson looks at you two with such adoration and love!
He is the sweetest boy, and Tim is an amazing dad! 🥰
This is irrelevant to your content, but I love the color coordination! You look so pretty and cozy, which can be hard to achieve in Boston! As we all search for an extra dose of positivity, I wanted to say "Thank you" to you &your family. I really hope you know your efforts are so appreciated and the 3 of you put a smile on SO MANY FACES. I work at Wegmans (i used to work at TJs) amongst a spoiled demographic and knowing I have a K-Hes video in the queue helps me reset. Your family is incredibly special. Please bring your Dad back:)
Im from middle eastern and zaartar is a seasoning we use on our bread , try with olive oil.... add good amount of zartar to olive oil and let it soak for couple hours and try with bread really good
came running to the comments to make sure to say th try the za’ataar with olive oil and pita but glad it has already been mentioned!
Try it on a pita bread, brushed with olive oil and Zaatar. Toast it for a few minutes. It’s delicious 😋
and then sprinkle with feta and olive slices - yummy
Sounds so yummy!
Ugh I have everything but pita bread🥲
Yes that’s how I had it growing up we lived among a Lebanese community
Sounds delish!
You all are so cute with your color cordination! And the wrap looks great on you!
I use Zatar seasoning with grilled meat (beef, lamb/chicken) and vegetable kabobs. The veg kabobs consist of zuchini, onion and tomatoes, (tastes great with the grilled tomatoes) then place them over Trader Joe's Cous Cous.
Trader Joe's garlic sauce and harissa (spicy) could be used as dip for the kabobs, and side dishes like the middle eastern salad (4 pack) with dolmas could accompany the meal.
Try the Zaatar in a couscous salad with parsley,chickpeas, cucumbers, bell peppers, red onions..... soooo good
Customer since 1974 (South Pas store) when my dad took the five of us kids on a Sunday drive to check out this store recommended by Elmer Dills ion ABC7LA. I was so excited when the Olive Garden location in Ocean Ranch, Laguna Niguel became a Trader Joe’s - friendly employees, great products, decent prices; they make shopping fun! Heading there Wednesday during senior hours...💃. Thank you for the family videos with honest and informative reviews. Hi Benson!
LMAO! Tim and the almonds! Thst was great! Made my day
I love seeing the interactions between father and son - you guys are such a cute family.
Me too ❤️
I use za'atar as my spice in a tomato, feta and olive oil salad! Saw many other suggestions here like with hummus or on grilled pita.
Hi Katie! Another great Trader joe's haul. I'll be going to trader joe next week to pick up some of those new item. Have a wonderful day and stay safe.
Your lovely family is such a great asset to Trader Joes. I love shopping in that store. The nicest check out people and best customer service ever in South Florida.
I am from middle east and the way we eat za'atar is mixing it with olive oil in a bowl and then dip homemade bread in this mixture.
Zaatar is great on fries, kabob or eggs. Also you can put lebneh on toast and sprinkle some zaatar on top of that for breakfast, really yummy that way
So glad you do these taste test 😋 I probably wouldn't have brought acv drinks but believe I will try them now thanks Katie love y'all my sweet friends ❤ 💕
Love the tomato soup idea with croutons. Great idea 👍👍👍👍
Love their cupcakes, always buy the chocolate with buttercream, so moist & yummy!!
Loved Tim's enthusiasm over the almonds. 😃 about 5 or so years ago, at Christmas they had a set of international spices in the little round tins, and Za'atar was one of the set. I bought it because I was so curious but I never really knew what to do with any of them. I do remember the lemony flavor of it, though. Maybe they will bring the set back at some point. I think that sparkly label is very pretty, too.
I somewhat remember those seasonal tins. You are a true TJ lover...you’ve purchased so many unique items over the years 😀
I love zaatar sprinkled on labneh with a drizzle of nice olive oil topped with some pomegranate seeds .. and dip with hot pita bread.. yummy...
Love your videos. I've bought several items you've enjoyed and have not been disappointed. Great job!!!! Love seeing Benson being willing to participate! YAY, Benson!
Love Tim's reaction to the almonds!! Made me laugh out loud. Do they have dairy in them I wonder? Benson is so cute. Great video. Happy weekend.
My FAVORITE grocery hauls are the ones where someone actually opens up the packages, so the viewers like my self can see what it looks like ___ Katie your grocery haul is the best, you go a step farther & let all your viewers know what the food taste like too :) I am a new subscriber today & would like so much to see what Trader Joe's has in GLUTEN FREE foods & vegan meats __ I cannot eat gluten of any kind & have a really hard time finding any gluten free & meat free foods ___ also being ORGANIC would be a big bonus too :)
You want to bloom za’atar in some olive oil or butter in a warm pan, then dip pita bread or veggies into it. Great to use for a dish or poultry marinade w olive oil as well. Sprinkle it into a lemon vinaigrette and toss into a tomato cucumber & feta salad.it goes well with roasted eggplant or sweet potato and is delicious w avocado.
Omg benson's face after his second taste of the drink was so cute! At the 5 min mark.
When Benson says something is “yummy” I have to buy it! 💙😂💙
I put it in olive oil and dip pita in it. Yum!
Nice job Katie, Tim and Benson! I would love for a special video introducing the chickens.
The almonds!!! 👍🏼
Thank you for the Saturday fun!😘
I agree with the taco salad although I love it!! I added extra hot sauce and chips :)
It's really good on Israeli salad: diced tomatoes and cucumbers (we also add avocado, green onion, and sometimes bell pepper). Some people add parsley or red onion. Dressed with olive oil and vinegar/lemon, salt, and of course za'atar
Those cupcakes look so yummy. I'm eager to try those almonds! Such a cute little family you have, Katie!
I highly recommend coating some slices of Haloumi cheese in the za’atar seasoning and then grilling. It makes a delicious vegetarian main that you can put over veggies and couscous. SO good!
Aw, daddy’s little man❤️
Another great taste test!
With za’taar you can make Dukkah, put it in a blender with almonds and grind up. I sprinkle this on cauliflower and chickpea shawarma, so good!
Interesting, thank you!
I think Trader Joe's recently came out with a Dukkah seasoning. If you do a google image search you can see what the ingredients are. It looks delicious!
oh I love the reaction to the almond butter covered almonds :'-D so funny!
The chile spiced pineapples would be delicious as a garnish on a spicy margarita!
That sounds so good!
Za’atar on avocado toast with a sprinkle of salt is delicious.
Awww sweet Benson! I’ve got to try this drink seeing how much he enjoyed it hahaha
Tim: heck yeah I like them 😂😂😂😂
Love it, the almonds are definitely on my list now! Thanks!
Luv the video!!! FAM!!! Benson so cute!!! 👍🍜🍛💞☺
Za'atar on avocado toast, a bagel with butter, eggs
Hi Katie, Thanks. Ellen
Za’atar is also great on chickpeas!
I love how you guys are all matching. Too adorable
Love you guys! I remember loving those jelly beans and I must try and get the cupcakes for Valentine’s Day but hopefully they still sell them a week before lol
Happy New Year beautiful!
Thank you so much for creating / sharing these taste test videos. Really help decide whether or not to pick the new items.
Happy New Year! Enjoy your weekend 😘
Benson is champ! I couldn't even sit calmly as an adult!!
Tim with the bunny hill comment I loved it
Love the jelly beans, just bought them! 😍
Za'atar is so good on roasted eggplant and on french fries.
zatar on salads is delicious! of course with yogurt/labneh, pita, hummus, avocado toast
What a sweet 😍 ❤ Benson is. Such a precious baby.
Your taste test videos make my day!
This taste test was awesome Katie and Tim! Benson is just so adorable 🎈🎈 I can't wait to get to Trader Joe's to try a lot of the things you hauled ! God Bless you and your beautiful family 🙏🙏✨🌹💞💖😊. See you next Friday I hope you have a wonderful week 😊🎈💖💞✨🌹
Hi Debbie! Have a great weekend!
Tim really loves the almonds!!!!
Put a little zaater with olive oil, and use it as dip with bread
Hi Katie. I was wondering if your Trader Joe's had the raspberry heart cookies? They're a heart shaped shortbread and so delicious. 💓 You didn't have them in your haul so I was just curious. 🙂
I'm headed there right now when o'clock Saturday afternoon Southern California and it's raining You guys look so cute thank you for all that you do
Thanks Laura, it’s raining hard here as well.
I have eaten fries that restaurants out zaatar on and they were very good
That sounds amazing!
We put the Zatar on chicken tenders and we grill them
You guys are such a cute family and I want the jelly beans now lol
A nice, light IPA sounds delicious! :o) I may just need to try those almonds, too. Thanks for the tips!
Benson’s facial expressions. I wait for them! I wanted to try those pineapple slices but the carbs/sugar are crazy.
Suggestions for what is good to season steamed vegetables please.
Hi Katie, Benson is such a CUTIE!!!! I was watching the T-J haul, and I agreed with one of the comments, loved your makeup. Gorgeous!!! Also your nails looked so pretty, loved the polish color, is it a salon color or one of yours? Would love to know what color it is. Ellen
Thank you, it’s one of my own nail polish’s, it’s Formula X by Sephora in color Fahrenheit
zaatar is good if you spread hummus on pita and sprinkle it on top, or just sprinkle it all over the top of plain hummus and add a little olive oil. Also, it'd be better if you roasted the veggies with the seasoning on them
Not a big fan of this seasoning but saw it in a high end restaurant on roasted chicken.
Loved the new video. I'm definitely going to search for the ACV Strawberry drinks and the Gf cupcakes 🧁. They looked yummy. Btw, your son is so adorable. Have a great weekend 🥰
Have a great weekend as well!
Zaatar on popcorn!
If you welcome suggestions for videos, I would enjoy a video about your chickens. 🐓🥚
Try the zaatar on labne or yogurt and then dip pita in it!
I love that beer can lol 🤣 I would have to buy it and save it 😂 really want to try the gluten free muffins and cupcakes 😋 the seasoning I'm not familiar with.ill have to look for some recipes. Maybe if you cook your veggies with it, it will mellow it's flavor. I'm going to buy it 🤗 Benson was loving the strawberry drink. That's enough for me to try it lol. Thanks for a great taste test. 🥰😇
Justins, who make nut butters, makes an almond butter covered almond and cashew butter covered cashews. Really good!
Thanks Katie! I was wondering why you tap the pop tops of canned drinks before opening them? Is there a practical reason for this (I have never seen it done before). Otherwise, looks like the almonds and the cupcakes are winners.
At this point I think I tap the cans out of habit. When I was younger there was a rumor that if you tapped the tops of carbonated beverages it wouldn’t explode. I’ve just done it ever since I heard that 🙃
@@KatieHespe good enough reason to continue!!! thanks for sharing with me!
@@KatieHespe I do this too! For the same reason (but now a habit)!
I like it on pita with halloumi cheese
Confirmed almonds with almond butter on today's list by your consensus thumbs up. So happy to find a delicious gluten cupcake this week.
Me too! Tim went nuts! I'll be heading for the T'J's on Masonic!
@@derekdurst9984 I go there often. Maybe we crossed paths like ships in the night.
@@thomassanfrancisco5850 My last trip there was now 9 days ago, right after I had my Covid vaccine from Kaiser..a block away...after that rather emotional experience I felt I needed a little comfort that only a friendly TJ's can give..... don't remember those nuts though..so I need a return trip!
Hi found everything I wanted the one thing I couldn't find at the trader Joe's I went to were those almond butter covered almonds
Such a fun video!!! Great content!❤️
That was a wonderful taste test and I really liked all the cute Valentine's items as well as those carbonated drinks I forget the name but I might have to look into that cuz I love carbonation LOL I'm the same! Big hugs :-)
You would love za'atar on your salads. Very good topped on hummus. It may even already be on top of the Mediterranean hummus from Trader Joe's. Also you look so pretty 🦋
Great recommendations! I will try it on my salad next time 😊
Anyime Tim likes a drink I get it... so apple cider beverage drink added to my shopping list
Luved the taste test! Can’t wait to grab that pineapple 🍍 snack and almonds !😋😋😋 thanks a lot!!
Aw.sweet.family❤.your.outfits🤗
CUTE❗❤
Thank.🤗.❤
The lemony flavor is sumac.
Hey everyone! Does anyone know if the raspberry apple cider vinegar has been discontinued 😔😔 I can’t find it anywhere
I believe it may be a seasonal item.
@@KatieHespe wahh! When it comes back I totally have to stock up then
Thanks for replying ❣️❣️❣️
I love your husband does the videos with you!
I'm a new vegetarian and my husband is also a meat eater. Can you share your taco salad recipe with all of us. I love taco salad.
Hey Rachelle. I already made a video about how I make my taco salad. Check it out: ruclips.net/video/aVOcDM2jpPE/видео.html
Za'atar is great when cooked.
I mix with a little oil and mix that on the vegetables before I roast them. to
another thing that we like in my household is it mixed in PLAIN yogurt with a little onion and stuff so it's kind of like tzatziki but different.
Good to know! I will cook it with my veggies next time.
Could you show us your taco salad recipe?
Your taco salad recipe video came up in my newsfeed!! That looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it 🤗 I am vegan, so I was excited to see that the jalapeño sauce you use is vegan ! Do you have any suggestions for a yummy Trader Joe’s dressing that could be used as an alternative to the cilantro dressing?
Thank you for a nice review! Just an FYI, the jelly beans have shellac so they are not vegetarian friendly.
Thanks for the heads up! Someone just made me aware of that, so thanks for looking out 😊
I want to get the trader joes heart macarons!!!! ive been seeing it on instagram and THEYRE SO CUTE
Me too! I can’t wait for them to come into my store.
How were the everything but the bagel chips with the jalapeño artichoke dip?
Really good! We got a spicier dip this time which balanced the garlic out perfectly!
@@KatieHespe Good to know! I love that dip and am looking for something to go with the chips. I wasn’t a huge fan of them on their own.
☺️I just rewatched it, how did I miss the pineapple rings the first time through? 😭🙏🏼
Haha to be fair there was a lot this week!
just did a trader joes haul and now i need to go back.
💜 Benson 💜
Here for the many faces of benson 😁
"Oouu yeah I do"😆😆😆 I love Tim's reactions
Have you tried the Owl’s Brew Boozy tea? Is that new?
No, I haven’t even heard about it...will it be at TJ’s?
@@KatieHespe Yes I picked one up today. Mine is English Breakfast tea with lemon and lime. They had 3 flavors, I went with the safest one. Vegan, gluten free and 4.8%alc
Your son loves his sweets like me lol
