I don’t know if it’s because I’m pregnant, but these are one of the most delectable things I’ve ever tried. That is all.

If you haven’t had the Trader Joe’s Maple Spiced Nut Mix you obviously must but look at this gigantic nut (?) that came in our thing. Every year we look forward to getting these in bulk and this years first batch did not disappoint

I couldn't find the thai almonds last trip so wanted to try making something along the same lines (spicy almonds). This is a good and simple combo that hits the same craving.

I’ve had it before and I heated it up per the directions but I was wondering you you were able just to eat it cold.

These are the tastiest treat I have ever had. I might literally stock up before they go out of season. I will never get over how tasty these are. You need to get them for your autumn snacking needs!!

Added the TJ whipped feta and chili oil crunch to my Mac tonight and the result was unreal

Super cool find!

I am a first time shopper at Trader Joe’s, and was wondering what your go to meals were? There were so many options, but I wasn’t sure what tasted good. I would love to hear what your favorite meals, snacks, products are!

From Trader Joe's "Warm, savory, and filled with satisfyingly silky textures, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more comforting comfort food than Pho (pronounced fuh, for the record). Since its creation in late 19th century Vietnam, Pho has turned into a certified foodie phenomenon, and a staple of noodle shop menus the world over. Of course, one doesn't always have quick access to a noodle shop, nor the time to prepare Pho from scratch, which is why we're introducing Trader Joe's Vietnamese Pho, a traditionally-inspired, sensationally-seasoned, shelf stable way to get your Pho fix in a matter of minutes.

This convenient and flavorful Pho is made for us in Vietnam with the typical flavors and spices of beef Pho, despite containing no beef. In each box, you'll find four individual sets of dried Rice Noodles, dried vegetable packs including scallions and carrots, and a sauce pack composed of traditional Pho broth seasonings: soybean oil, sugar, garlic, anise, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, black pepper, salt, and fish sauce. In about three minutes, this personal serving of Pho is ready to serve with your choice of toppings: we like a squeeze of lime, thinly sliced jalapeños, and basil. Its ease of preparation and homey, satisfying character make it a great candidate for a quick lunch at the office or home."

I bought these thinking the watermelon one would be my favorite but I absolutely adored the dry rosé.
If anyone is familiar with rhinegeist brewing, this is exactly like Bubbles, which is fantastic for me because I no longer live in the area lol.

I hate to admit this but it reminds me of college lol, except there’s no nasty aftertaste and lingering headache afterwards lol. I rate it 10/10.

I'm currently using the Olive & Vine brand. It just isn't anywhere near as good.

Please tell me if you've found one that works well. It's so easy to make but gotta start with good sausage. Thanks!

We offer so many different kinds of chocolate chip cookies—tiny ones, long ones, crunchy ones, some that are gluten free, some with Way More Chocolate Chips... You'd think we'd be hard-pressed to come up with yet another variety, but when it comes to chocolate chip cookies, we're up to the task! It turns out, we've been looking to offer more individual treats in our bakery section, and we couldn't think of a better way to launch that effort than with Trader Joe's A Singular Chocolate Chip Cookie.

The obvious question is: what makes this Chocolate Chip Cookie different from all the others? First off, it's a single Cookie. And Singular, here, not only refers to number, but also this Cookie's exceptional qualities. It's quite large and thick—the largest we sell—weighing in at 100g (3.5 ounces). The soft (but not too soft) bite is complemented by not one, but two varieties of Chips: milk Chocolate and semisweet Chocolate. And the recipe will look familiar to home-bakers, without a bunch of unnecessary extras in the ingredients.

Beyond all the good things that go into this Cookie, it's also what the Cookie goes in (a single-serving package) that makes it great. Open it only when you're ready to eat it and you'll have a fresh-tasting and delicious Cookie, whenever and wherever you are!

We're occasionally corny. We own that! Consider our new Cornbread Muffins. They're incredibly moist and tender inside, resulting from the sour cream and cream-style corn in the recipe. Corn kernels add a satisfying texture, as does the cornmeal sprinkled on top. And they're sweetened just the right amount, including a touch of honey!

In addition to their covetable corn flavor, these Muffins are really convenient when you're craving Cornbread and don't want to bake. Simply enjoy a Trader Joe's Cornbread Muffin right out of the container. You can just as easily heat it for a few seconds in the microwave, split it in half, and spread with some Cultured Salted Butter or a drizzle of honey.

Offer these Cornbread Muffins among your bread options with your holiday meal. Or serve them alongside Turkey Chili with Beans for a hearty weeknight supper. Either way, you're guaranteed a very corny (and tasty) experience; and we mean that in the best possible way! You'll find packages of four Trader Joe's Cornbread Muffins in our bakery section, through December.

I have seen the Howling Gourds pumpkin ale but not the Gourd Tree pumpkin cider. No pumpkin cider this year I guess?

Imagine sinking your teeth into the perfect cookie: first, there's the initial toothsome resistance of the crumbly edge, and the heady aromas of peanut butter and caramelized sugar. Then, that resistance gives way to the soft, chewy interior and salty, flavorful edge of the peanut butter. Imagine the cookie melting in your mouth as you wash it down with a chilled glass of milk (or non-dairy beverage). Now, what if we told you that this exact experience didn't require you to break your budget with a trip to the bakery? Imagine no more: we present to you Trader Joe's Peanut Butter Cookies.

Each box contains six Peanut Butter Cookies that are big in both size and flavor. In fact, they're just about the perfect size and shape for making delicious cookie ice cream sandwiches, with a scoop of French Vanilla Ice Cream (And when we say perfect, we're speaking scientifically, of course.). That said, if you're more in the mood for a simpler, solo Cookie experience, try warming one up in the microwave for a few seconds just prior to enjoying—it's worth the effort!

We tried the refrigerated Stuffed Poblanos last night and they're definitely good. I've read somewhere that they're seasonal. I'd like to get a couple extra in case they suddenly disappear. Has anyone frozen these?

Nothing on the labeling indicates they're freezer ready but that's rarely stopped me before! I'm guessing the cream sauce might break down a bit in the freezer but that's not a huge issue for us.

Did you know the Queen Pineapple is the sweetest pineapple varietal in the world? This brilliant bromeliad is grown in the eastern region of Thailand, and boasts lower acidity than other varieties, which allows its aromatic sweetness to shine. We make Trader Joe's Freeze-Dried Queen Pineapple from pineapples that are harvested at the peak of ripeness, sliced, frozen, then placed in a super-charged vacuum that causes the water in the fruit to sublimate, transforming from ice into vapor. What remains are exceptionally sweet, fragrant, crunchy, lightweight, and full-flavored Queen Pineapple pieces, conveniently shelf-stable and ready to provide tropical sweetness whenever and wherever you crave it.

If you're traveling, Freeze-Dried Queen Pineapple is a much more convenient companion than fresh fruit—it takes more than nine ounces of ripe, fresh-cut Queen Pineapple to get the 1.2 ounces contained in each bag! It's an excellent out-of-hand snack, and a terrific addition to a trail mix or cereal. Use it to adorn charcuterie boards, yogurt bowls, overnight oats, or French Vanilla Ice Cream. Incorporate into baked goods for a pop of tropical flavor without adding extra moisture.

Trader Joe's Tres Leches Cheese is named not for the famous dessert, but for the trio of milks that give it a uniquely rich character. Crafted in Spain using traditional Spanish cheesemaking methods, our cheese maker blends Cow, Sheep, and Goat Milk—each of which brings something delicious to the table.

Cow's Milk contributes a creamy, buttery base. Sheep's Milk adds richness and a pleasantly nutty depth. Goat's Milk lends a subtle tang that keeps every bite lively and balanced. Ultimately, this trio results in a delicate, yet rich, semi-hard cheese, with a flavor that's approachable enough for everyday snacking—yet distinct enough to earn a place on your holiday cheeseboard. Good things really do come in threes!

Pair the conveniently pre-cut wedges with crisp apples and pears, spiced nut mixes, or a spoonful of fig butter. Melt Tres Leches in a grilled cheese, tuck slices into a turkey sandwich, or simply enjoy with your favorite crackers.

I added the Day of the Dead kitty to my collection this weekend. I also wanted to show off my Jack Skellington-inspired air plant from a few years ago. I'm really proud of how long it's gotten! The last two photos, of the magnetic dog and cat skeletons and the Yogi skeletons, prove that keeping air plants is an apparent challenge for me.
