 Welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food. Our channel is all about the food. We do taste test, recipes, grocery hauls and what's for dinner. And I am here today with a grocery haul from Trader Joe's. And so Howard's parents are going to be in town pretty soon. They are going to be visiting us and meeting Harrison for the very first time. So I went and picked up some things for them. Some things specifically that they like. Howard's parents eat pretty healthy vegetables and things like that. And so you'll see some of that in the haul. But let me just jump right in. So one of the things that I picked up is some Trader Joe's chai tea. I really love chai tea. This is, it was pretty cheap. I think it was $3.99. And you can make it hot or cold. I've never bought this before so I hope it's pretty good. But all you have to do is add in hot water to this particular one because this mix has non-dairy creamer in it. So you don't have to add milk. And it also has non-fat milk as well. So you don't need milk for this one. So I picked that up. I also picked up some K-Cups from Trader Joe's as well. These are for, I think Howard's mom and I'm not sure if his father drinks coffee or not. But I know that Howard does and he was totally out of coffee cups anyway. So I grabbed some K-Cups for them. And then I saw these on the shelf. There was only one container left. They are cucumber, citrus, base and body wipes. And when I checked out, the cashier said that these things are incredible. So I'm happy that I was able to find the last one on the shelf. Something else I picked up from Trader Joe's. These are for me and anyone else who wants them I really love butter toffee coated peanuts. I saw these at Christmas time but I didn't pick them up. They still have them. So I decided to grab them. Another thing that I picked up are some plant and chips. You know that these things I usually pick up every time I go to Trader Joe's. Howard really likes these. And I don't think that his parents have had these particular, this brand from Trader Joe's or this variety I should say from Trader Joe's. So I picked it up for Howard and also for his parents to try. These are just regular plain plant and chips right here. And then these are the jerk style plant and chips. Now as you know, Howard is from Jamaica and of course his parents are as well. So I hope that they really like these chips. Howard likes them a lot. And then I grabbed some corn chip dippers. I haven't bought these in a while and I can't remember why. I think it's because last time I picked them up I thought they were a little salty. So I hope they're not as salty as I remember them being but I was craving some corn chips and so I decided to grab them. Another thing that I usually pick up when I go to Trader Joe's is their almond butter granola. I really like this stuff a lot. So Howard and I eat it plain and then we also eat it on, well I eat it on top of yogurt. He's not a big yogurt person but this is really, really good granola. And it's really hearty and it's very crunchy and it is so good. Another thing that I picked up for Howard and his parents are these sweet plantain chips. Now these are a little bit different because these are supposed to be really sweet. So I grabbed those and then Howard told me that his mother likes raw whole cashews. So I picked up some for her to snack on while she's here. Some things that I picked up to put in our freezer for Howard and I to eat at another time is this barbecue chicken teriyaki. I really like it a lot. I haven't bought it in a while but I remember really enjoying it a lot. I also picked up some fettuccine with mushrooms for Howard and I for a quick skillet meal one day. I picked up some tilapia for Howard's father. He doesn't eat a lot of meat. He mostly eats fish. So I grabbed some tilapia for him. And then I also wanted to try these cheese and green chili tamales. I think it was April at April newly me that has mentioned in her halls how much she really likes these. And I said next time I go I'm gonna grab some. So I think it was her that was always buying these tamales. So you get two in a pack and you can microwave them or you can cook them on the stove top in a steamer. Another thing that I picked up for Howard's family is this cheese tray. His mom mentioned that they like to eat cheese and crackers so I got some, I already have some crackers. So I picked up this variety of cheese for them and Howard likes it too but it's Colby Jack, Swiss cheese, cheddar and pepper jack. And then they also may make some sandwiches while they're here so I picked them up some Swiss cheese. That's their preferred cheese. And then just as a snacking cheese for anyone who wants it I picked up these mild cheddar cheese, mild cheddar snack sticks easy for me to say. And then I personally really just like this puffed, sharp cheddar, spreadable cheese. And I get that not every time I go to Trader Joe's but pretty often and I really like it a lot. Then I picked up some avocados for them for his family. They like to eat eggs in the morning and have avocados and vegetables with them. So I picked them up avocados for that as well as some tomatoes for their eggs as well. And then I picked up an assortment of fruit. I think this thing is, I think it's a pomelo. Howard and I had it before. It's like a mix between an orange and a grapefruit and we liked it a lot. I also picked up this Korean pear and then I picked up these apple pears. So I don't know if his parents would eat these or not but either way they'll get eaten by Howard and I or whatever. I picked up some butter lettuce for Howard and I for dinner. We have a couple of days before they get here so we'll be having after dinner at some point. And then I picked up some zucchini squash for his parents as well when they're here as well as this Brussels sprout as well as these Brussels sprouts. It's easy for me to say I can't talk today. So we're gonna cook this up while they're here as well. I picked up some green onions and also some mushrooms because I'm going to be making a green onion and mushroom fried rice when they're here. And then his mother requested some almond milk sweetened fried in. I've never bought almond milk before but I think this is a pretty good brand and I think most people like it so I got that. And then I also picked up some baby spinach for either breakfast in the morning with their eggs or whenever they decide to eat some sauteed spinach. And then the last thing I picked up are two bags of the organic broccoli florets and I'll probably make the mushroom and green onion fried rice the first night that they're here along with these broccoli florets and some type of protein, I'm not sure what yet. So anyway, this is it. This is everything that I picked up for my Trader Joe's haul for the month of January. I hope you guys like this video.
