TJ’s: Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Delights

Mmmmmm delectable! These little treats (comparable to Ferrero Rocher chocolates) are so good you just want to keep eating and eating them. I fortunately stopped myself after one, partly because I am self disciplined like that, but more so because they aren’t mine– they’re Lauren’s. Don’t think it would go over too well if I ate the whole box on her. I do plan on stopping at TJ’s tomorrow and picking up my own stash! Whoo! I’ll pick some up for the potluck too!
On another note I guess I’ll admit the squirrel on the box is semi-cute… even though squirrels in general are disgusting and equal to vermin (in my humble opinion). But not to worry, this one is only a cartoon. So go ahead, buy a box and enjoy! They are so hazel-nutty and delicious you will be glad you did. Think roasted hazelnuts and hot chocolate. Mmm!

Smoothies.

This Trader Joe’s Smoothie is delicious!!!!!!!!!! I’m not really one for smoothies either, but I decided to buy this today and was very pleasantly surprised to find out how smooth (hence the name, I guess) and yummy it was. I also bought the Very Berry flavor and it was also tres bien. I poured myself a small glass when I got home. Then I poured myself another small glass a couple hours later. THEN I poured myself another small glass after my class, finally finishing off the bottle. I wanted to make it last forever except it was obviously impossible. But alas, I can always just head down the street and pick up another one (or three) tomorrow. :-D

TJ’s: Chicken Tikka Masala

You must try this DELICIOUS dinner. It is restaurant quality, I tell you. It tastes JUST like the chicken tikka masala from Kashmir on Newbury Street (which is soooooo yummy). I had this for the first time late night last week after a night out for my friends birthday. It was so delicious I went out the next day and bought 4 more boxes. One box is basically one meal, so if you have more than one person eating, you’ll need to get several boxes. Buy some TJ’s tandoori naan to go with it and you’ve got the perfect Indian dish for dinner. 5 stars. SO GOOD.

Trader Joe’s!!

I love Trader Joe’s. I’ve never met someone who doesn’t! I have to admit right off they bat that it’s no Wegmans, but seriously, what is? Nothing can beat the big W. However, Trader Joe’s does a fine job at being my neighborhood grocery store. I love stopping by here for a quick shop around. They always have a great flower selection and also always have samples. MMmm good. I love their creative tag lines and cheap prices too. Since there are so many items I love in TJ’s I’ve decided to start blogging about certain products from time to time. Hopefully you’re lucky enough to have a TJ’s near you, especially if you don’t have a Wegmans either. I don’t know what I’d do without it. As much as I love Whole Foods (oh so much)- it breaks the bank! So Trader Joe’s is where it’s AT. Check back to the blog for delicious foods that you can try too!
