Trader Joe’s is one of my favorite places in the world. They have the COOLEST items all of the time in every section of the store. From the prepared foods section to the veggie section they have the best selections at a low price. I can do all my shopping for the week along with some specialty items for $30. I mean can you really beat that? Is it sad that I consider going to Trader Joe’s an “outing”? Sometimes if I am really looking for a good time I will drive up to Massachusetts to their Foxboro location where they have a wine and beer section. Is this what 26 is?

Anyway, I thought I would talk about some of the new things I am loving at Trader Joe’s. I might make this a thing as I discover more new items. Would you like me to make this a thing? Let’s talk about it.

01 Trader Joe’s Creamy Hummus. I have tried a bunch of their different variations (shout out to the horseradish flavor!) but I had yet to try their traditional Mediterranean hummus, and damn is it good. And so Instagram worthy.

02 Ditalini Pasta + Cheddar Cheese + Cauliflower + Kale. OH MY, this stuff is awesome. It is new and I hope it never goes away. I heated this bad boy up in the oven for dinner and I was in heaven. If you like cauliflower then you will definitely like this dish. I can not wait to have the rest of it tonight with a little grilled chicken on the side.

03 Everything Bagel Spice. Can I make this on my own? Yeah. Is it awesome that Trader Joe’s did it for me and put it in a convenient spice shaker? Yes. BRB as I sprinkle this stuff on literally everything.

04 Mini Mint Ice Cream Mouthfuls. These are perfect for the person who doesn’t really like sweets but is dieting so now all of a sudden they want all of the sweets. Only me? Oh OK. At 60 calories each you really can’t go wrong with these guys and they are delicious.

05 Chili Lime Chicken Burgers. I have been wanting to do a whole post about these guys, and maybe I still will, but there is so much you can do with these. And the flavor is ridiculous. These are something that I buy every single time I go to Trader Joe’s and just keep them in the freezer for an easy last minute meal.

You have any Trader Joe’s go-to’s that I have to try next? Let me know! I could talk with you about this place for hours. I am warning you now..
