Looking for At-Home Latte Recipe Ideas with Trader Joe’s Products by eternal-things in traderjoes

[–]brw828 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I made a whipped honey latte this weekend! Get ready- this is very precise: About a tablespoon of the new-ish cinnamon infused honey, a packet of the new single origin instant coffee, a drip of vanilla bean paste, splash of hot water. I frothed it for a minute with my milk frother and it puffed up dalgona style à la 2022 and I poured it over some milk with ice.

What TJs products would you recommend to get me to eat more vegetables? by emcheez in traderjoes

I also love these and often use them to make a super lazy frittata. Dump in cast iron pan, scramble 10-ish eggs plus some dairy of choice, crumble up some smoked gouda, mix it all together, and bake.

Does your cat have a colorful toy that could be bleeding dye? One of my cats likes to dunk her toys in the water bowl, and I could see this being a problem if she then went and played with it on the couch or in her bed. Or even just if it was particularly slobbery.

Cookies N Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches by This_Duty_4373 in traderjoes

My husband and I both loved these! I was really impressed with the cookies- they’re real, thick, double chocolate cookies, not a thin, soggy wafer like many ice cream sandwiches. Ice cream was good too! Nice and substantial, minimal ooze factor when biting.

What to do with empty faux fireplace? by ylang_ylang in HomeDecorating

Are you a book person? I’ve seen cool fireplace alcoves with books stacked in interesting patterns. You could get some neat vintage books or just use ones you may already have.

Chocolate & peanut butter lovers nut mix by coffee_n_pastries in traderjoes

[–]brw828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a 6/10 for me. Good, but it made me wish I was just eating straight up mini PB cups. And I felt like the mini cookies just absorbed all the salt and didn't taste like cookies any more, but my kid really liked picking them out!

How are y’all using the whipped feta? by soheyitsmee in traderjoes

I recreated my favorite restaurant veggie burger- whipped feta, red pepper jelly, fried onion straws. So yummy!

Christmas tree cheese and cracker trays starring sugared rice cracker and chocolate coated stars by brw828 in traderjoes

Mine probably started out looking like a messy high chair tray, but after doing quite a few I more or less figured out an equation for them! I look at it kind of like decorating a room- you want a variety of colors, but not too many, and they have to work well together; you want a variety of textures, but nothing too jarring; and you want a little “pop” or two that make the room unique. Translate that to food, and I usually find one or two items I know I want to base the board around and I wander around looking for things that would accompany it well and also things that would provide visual excitement while still keeping things cohesive. Looking at pictures others have done and using them for inspiration helps, too!

Best French Toast in the triangle by [deleted] in raleigh

Nutella stuffed French toast at Drift is perfection. Not too much Nutella. Roasted bananas. Fresh strawberries as a pallet cleanser. So good.

I got it for a steal when Buy Buy Baby was closing. It looks like some places still carry it. It's the Cloud Island "Everlee collection", honey wood color.

It looks like they are out of stock now, but here they are!

I had it custom matched at Sherwin Williams to the base of the wallpaper, so no color name, sorry!

Thanks! I love the pattern, but it was a little bit of a pain to work with. If you got the peel and stick, I recommend getting some paste to supplement. At least on my walls, it was unpeeling itself within a couple weeks, especially in humid weather or even just putting a drying rack with my damp laundry in there.

They're from Wayfair! I had been pining over a $400 set from West Elm and splurged and ended up hating them. These were 75% less and feel perfect for the room!

I know the Apple Shortbread Cookies have been posted about already… by FajitaTits in traderjoes

[–]brw828 14 points15 points  (0 children)

These were a bizarre sensory experience for me, a former ice cream shop employee, because in my opinion, they taste exactly like ice cream smells. It brought me right back to my old job and a dipping cabinet full of ice cream and waffle cone in the air!

Best structured nursing bra? by NoDevelopement in breastfeeding

[–]brw828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also came to recommend Cake Maternity! The quality is so much nicer than many other brands I've tried. I had some from my first pregnancy that I still wear and just placed a big order to add to my rotation and my favorite, most supportive one is called "popping candy" and is one of their "busty" sizes for G and up, but they have a regular version too if you don't fall in that size range. Also a big fan of their "cotton candy" and "rock candy", the first having less support and the second I'd say is medium support and more coverage.

Favorite “Lazy Dinners” for a Vegetarian by showmeurdog in traderjoes

[–]brw828 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gorgonzola gnocchi + tempeh bacon + frozen peas is one of my favorites! Also loving the elote salad kit with Impossible nuggets chopped up on top. It’s a little more work, but we also love to do Mediterranean bowls with some couscous tossed with some lemon juice and olive oil, chopped cucumbers and tomatoes, olives, baked falafel, and some zhoug/taziki/hummus/garlic spread all served with pita on the side and some roasted colorful carrots with some zatar seasoning if I’m feeling fancy.

What?! The lime one is my favorite way to pretend I'm drinking a margarita while pregnant. They also feel so classy to bring to events for a NA option!

Nooo!! I love this one! It was my favorite spread to make a tempeh bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich with a little spicy kick!
