There's a funny phenomenon connected with Trader Joe's whereby people like to share their favorite finds from the store. I can't think of another grocery chain that stimulates this kind of conversation. People speak up in the aisles even; leaning over and suggesting an item that you may not have discovered. I've gone shopping there with friends, or run into friends there, and automatically we start pointing things out to each other. When others in earshot hear this, they begin to share. So, I'm starting a new category here for those of you who can't keep it to yourselves any longer and are just bursting with Trader Joe's tid-bits. I have a friend who always brings the frozen samosas to a gathering. What are your faves and how do you like to have them?
My latest discovery is Chudleigh's Apple Blossoms (see photo above). Usually, I like to bake my own pies, and am quite a stickler for organic ingredients, but I do have some flexibility. The ingredients in these tasty "blossoms" are generally pretty good…no hydrogenated oils or preservatives. I like to heat them in the "slow" oven and serve them with vanilla ice cream. Trader Joe's carries Julie's organic ice cream, Double Rainbow, and dairy-free Soy Delicious.
Let the sharing begin!
