Products I Love at Trader Joes (Part 2)

-
If anyone loves going to Trader Joes as much as I do, they know that there are so many wonderful products there that you can find so much cheaper compared to other stores. I find so many new products that I love and my family has also been a fan of when I have prepared meals for them. We love going to Trader Joes and finding new products. It is a great store to find vegan products in as well and they are also mostly all clearly labeled.

One of my all time favorite products is the tomato basil hummus dip. This has so much flavor and I love putting it in wraps, on crackers, and in pasta recipes. Let me know in the comments what you guys like using your hummus for? I have been using it in my recipes and not just as a dip and it adds so much flavor.

I love all of the hummus dips that I have tried from Trader Joes and because of how wonderful the prices are, I will always load up on multiple types of hummus each time I go.

I also love adding turmeric and tahini to my recipes for extra flavor and health benefits. This is great over bowls and any other meals where you want extra flavor and nutrients. Tahini can be used in a lot more than just hummus! I have also seen people put it in recipes for falafel, wraps, and in sweets as well (brownies, protein balls, etc.)! There is a flavor similar to peanut butter so if anyone is looking to try this, but they are unsure what it will taste like that is a similar flavor.

I am also a huge fan of spicy foods, so I picked up some mango ginger chutney. This can be great in bowls or anything you want to add a sweet, but spicy taste to. This can be added as a sauce to have with samosas or spring rolls.

Another one of my favorites from Trader Joes is the cocoa almond cashew milk. These are delicious and every person I know who has tried this product has loved it! This is one of my favorite ones to buy and if you heat it up, it can also be a wonderful hot cocoa.

Another meal I love to make with the food I get at Trader Joes are jackfruit tacos. I usually separate and drain the jackfruit and cook it with some BBQ sauce or any other sauce. Then I will add it to tacos with any other toppings and also put on some mango salsa. My favorite tortillas are the habanero lime tortillas, I have not found anything similar at any other store, so if anyone knows any other similar foods, let me know!

Another thing that goes well with the salsas are the quinoa and black bean tortilla chips. These are great for dipping and I also use them for hummus.

I have also heard people raving about how these next two products are, but it depends on what type of flavors you like. A lot of people were comparing the flavor of the Hi Protein Veggie Burger to a fish taste. Also, when I tried the vegetable masala burger, I loved it! I would buy that again on occasion because it adds great flavor to have with some veggies.

In the beginning of your vegan joruney, you might discover that Vegan cooking is more of a pain and hassle than it is a benefit. If you discover yourself in this position, you are not alone. However, there is help available for you. Taking some time to really look over all of your options is best to ensure that you are able to get the biggest benefit possible from the healthier lifestyle. Vegan cooking is something that will typically require you to think carefully as well as plan ahead, in this spirit it is extremely important to be sure that you are getting everything planned out ahead of time to ensure you have what you need. One of the biggest suggestions to get the biggest benefit is to look into cooking with the fruits and vegetables that you like the most. If you have a serious objection to eating okra for example you should never dash out and look for a stack of okra recipes. Instead, you need to focus on the recipes that involve ingredients that you like. Of cours...

Live Well on a Budget!

Hi All, Happy Monday! The topic of my discussion today focuses around words. What I mean by that is, depending on the words you use to describe something, someone will automatically get the impression whether it is good, bad, cheap, expensive, old or new just to name a few things. First let's talk about food. Meal kits, meal starters, one skillet meals have a nice ring to them but when you look up the word leftovers there is nothing appealing about. If you look up synonyms for the word leftovers you can find words like scraps, remnants and crumbs so who would want to eat that? Maybe we need to change the way we think of leftovers. Personally I love it when I have food leftover because that automatically becomes my "meal kit" that I can use as the basis for a new dish. Yes. you can just reheat your original meal but that can be boring. However if you add some ingredients and change the flavor profile by adding some spices, you have not only saved money but c...

Best Delicious Non Dairy Treats

A lot of people think that you have to cut out tasty foods when you go vegan, but good news, it is FAR from the truth! There are many different ice creams out there and cheesecakes that I have tried that I have really enjoyed. One of the first brands I have tried was Haagen Dazs and I have tried three of their non-dairy flavors including chocolate salted fudge truffle, peanut butter chocolate fudge, and mocha chocolate cookie. Also, Breyers has an Oreo flavor that is also wonderful. They also have a peanut butter flavor that I would like to try as well. I had the oreo flavor with some fruit and the original flavor of the Daiya Cheesecake. They also have other flavors of the cheesecake including key lime, strawberry, pumpkin, and chocolate. I also love having some sparkling water, juice, or some kombucha if I am feeling like I want something other than water. This can be a better alternative to sodas if you want something with some fla...
