Get ready for a big Trader Joe’s haul! I honestly can’t remember the last time I grocery shopped at Trader Joe’s. It’s been many months. Sadly, there’s just not a store location that fits in my daily rhythm so I have to make a special trip to get there. It was great to restock on many of my faves and to add a few new things to my cart!
FROZEN FOODS
Let’s start with the frozen foods because I believe this is where Trader Joe’s truly shines. No other grocery store compares! I had to really practice self-control because my freezer was already pretty full.
- Butter Chicken – my favorite of the Trader Joe’s frozen Indian entrees. I like this one even better than the Chicken Tikka Masala.
- Burrata, Prosciutto and Arugula Flatbread – always get this!
- Steamed Pork and Ginger Soup Dumplings – if you haven’t tried these yet, you must!
- Mixed Mushroom Medley
- Kimbap – I have seen this all over Instagram and had to finally give it a try. I’ll report back.
- Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets – these are hands-down my favorite chicken nuggets of all the nuggets (I don’t care that they’re gluten-free – I just think they taste great!). I usually air-fry them and add them to my salads.
- Gorgonzola Gnocchi – so great for whipping up a quick gnocchi skillet like this one.
- Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry – this is a good easy dinner made with ground pork/chicken/turkey and a scrambled egg.
- Vegetable Fried Rice – same as above
- Almond Croissants – impulse purchase and my first time trying
- Peas – just because they’re so easy to throw into many dishes

I usually go weekly ,, it’s the best ! I just grabbed the new mocha pretzels and the new ranch cashews but haven’t tried yet , the almond croissants are underrated and taste like they came from a bakery imo !! So good ! The frozen Dutch griddle cakes are also delicious. They have so many unique items 🙂
