 Hey guys, welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food and I am here today with a haul from Trader Joe's. I love that place. I haven't been since July so I found a bunch of new stuff and I wanted to share it with you guys. I spent $97 and some change so I will jump right in. So the first thing that I picked up were these jalapeno potatoes. It says a creamy grottin of potatoes with four cheeses. Now this was in the frozen food section. I think it was $2.99 or $3.99. And then I saw these buffalo style chicken poppers. You get 10 pieces of white meat chicken wrapped in a crispy filo dough with a spicy cheesy filling and those looked really good to me as well. And then I saw these mini mushroom puff pastries and it looked really good. It's a savory blend of white button and shiitake mushrooms. I thought you got more in this box. It's pretty big but you only get two. So I hope these are really good. And then I grabbed our mac and cheese. We really like this. One box has two servings so this will be a quick side dish for my husband and I. And then I can't remember if I've ever tried this or not but I wanted to try it. It is mac and cheese, pepperoni, pizza bowl. It looked pretty good to me as well. This is also something that's new. It is their unexpected cheddar, broccoli cheddar soup. So it sounds pretty good to me. I'm excited to try that. And then I love their taco seasoning mix. I get it every time I go. And this one little packet was 79 cents but it seasons two pounds of ground meat. So I usually just pour out half for one serving or one pound of ground beef and then I have another half left and it's 79 cents and you can't beat it and it is probably the best taco seasoning mix that I had ever tried. I needed some more olive oil spray so I grabbed that. And then I was almost out of their onion salt. My husband and I really like this and it's $1.99 which is really, really inexpensive and a great deal. So I grabbed some creamed greens. These are new and they were also in the frozen food section. Brussels sprouts, kale and parmesan cheese and this sounds like something my husband and I really would enjoy. And then I like Belgian waffles. This box of four Belgian waffles was $1.99. Can't beat that. And then I just grabbed some lunch meat for us for lunches during the week since I stay at home full time with our baby and my husband works from home right now. So grab this for that we could have that. And we just needed some green vegetables. So I grabbed this mix here. I used to eat it all the time then I stopped. So I decided to grab some today and I just sauteed this. And this is kale, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, green cabbage and red cabbage. And then my husband and I we both like broccolini. So I grabbed just a package of that. My husband loves these plantain chips, these jerk style plantain chips. And I have to tell you, I'm not a big fan of plantains, but I really do like these. These are spicy. So if you know anyone that likes plantain chips and they like spicy, definitely grab these because these are actually pretty good. I grabbed this chocolate bar for myself. Trader Joe's is probably the cheapest place that I found this and I love these bars. So it's like a it's a butter cookie and it has as you can see the chocolate on top. So it's kind of like a Twix bar without the caramel. And I really like this a lot. Another new item that I grabbed, I think they've had it for a long time, but I've never picked it up before for these scallion pancakes. So my husband and I recently grabbed some Chinese food for takeout and we wanted to try their green onion pancakes. So we did for the very first time and they were okay. They were actually pretty good, but I think had we eaten them in the restaurant, it would have been better. So I decided to give these a try since we do like green onion pancakes. Wanted to give these a try because they looked pretty good. We really like their Mandarin orange chicken and I only recently within recent years started eating this Mandarin orange chicken because I'm more of a savory person, not a sweet person. And I didn't think I would like Mandarin orange because I thought it would be sweet, but it's actually not. It's really, really good. So if you're like me and aren't sure because you think it might be too sweet, it's not. It's delicious. Another thing that we really like from Trader Joe's is their Kung Pao chicken. Kung Pao chicken comes with peanuts. Now Howard and I don't really care for peanuts in our food, but luckily the peanuts are in a separate package. So I just make it without the peanuts. So if you don't like peanuts, don't have to worry about them being in there. Let's see what else did I grab? Oh, so last time I went to Trader Joe's, I grabbed the strawberry juice beverage and it is absolutely delicious. This time I wanted to try something different, more seasonal, and this is their Honey Crisp Apple Juice. And if it's anything like the strawberry, I know it's going to be really good. This is a new item for me. I've never seen these bite size sharp cheddar cheesy crackers. And I'm going to turn around. So the first ingredient on there is sharp cheddar cheese, and I like cheez-its and stuff like that. So I'm hoping that these are even better. My husband loves these little, I don't know if they're cakes or they have large ones, but this is just a small one. I think the small one was $1.79, which is perfect for him. Another thing that I grabbed there was this Holiday Ornaments Cookie Kit, and it was $6.99. You get eight cookies and it comes with icing and sprinkles, and I thought that was super cute. Couldn't pass it up. Last year, I missed out on their Trivets. This year, I wanted to make sure that I grabbed one. These are felt Trivets, and it feels really good. It's very thick, and it was $4.99. I think this was made in Nepal. I think that's what it said. Then I grabbed these Apple Cranberry Tarts for my husband. He likes stuff like this, and you get two little pastries in there. Apples and cranberries nestled in a flaky pastry crust. Then I grabbed myself this Advent Calendar. I grab an Advent Calendar every single year. My mom used to buy me Advent calendars, and now I buy them for myself. So got an Advent Calendar. All their Advent calendars were $0.99, and they also had some for pets, cats and dogs as well. Then the last thing that I grabbed, I don't think I mentioned this. I grabbed two of these instant ramen soups. I grabbed some of these a long time ago, and Howard said they were really good. I got a spicy miso, and a chicken. That is everything that I picked up from my Trader Joe's haul. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you did, please make sure to give us a thumbs up.
