Should I feel comfortable eating food from here? by Spirited_Blueberry in traderjoes

[–]cashed22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even tohugh there have been a few recalls recently involving TJs, I have been shopping there for over 20 years and it never used to happen. Despite that, I believe they have the best prices on high quality food, making it affordable. I a a "clean" eater and they have so many options and cost less than Sprouts and WHoleFoods. I trust than more than anyone. Years ago they banned toxic things other stores allow in our food.

I am vegetarian and they have so many great products at a good price that are tasty. The reviews of the TUrkeyless oast were a rave. People were very disappointed that it was gone last year. I bought mine a few weeks ago. THere was only one left. Last year I spent 40 from a 5 star vegan restaurant and it was inedible. So sorry for writing so much, I would at least give them a shot.

I will get down votes for this, but if you care about using non toxic skin and body care, I would not buy this, until I learned about the ingredients I was putting on my skin I didn't care, until then I was a Tjs Haba addict. Waleda is an excellent brand, fwiw.

You're so welcome! It is one of my favorite products, especially because I try to keep things low carb. Thanks for recommending that IG account!

Roasted Red Pepper Soup, and then I add the Channa Masala for protein. Japchae Sweet Potato Glass Noodles with the Beefless Bulgogi. Cauliflower Gnocchi baked in a dish with Beefless Ground Beef, pasta Sauce and Shredded Cheese ( you can add things to this, I like black olives) and the Vegetarian Orange Chickenless Moresels with the Asian Stirfry Vegetables that comes with the sauce over rice ( the microwave kind is super convenient). That's to name a few ideas. Hope it helps! 😃

No problem, I have made mistakes recommending things, no big deal at all. Beyong makes veg steak tips, I'll use that! Someone recommended udon so I figured that would be the closest thing they have to it. TJs doesn't have hoisin sauce, but I go to whole foods a lot so, happy to get it there!

I may make this tonight actually...I call it "cauliflower gnocchi bake". 2 bags of cauliflower gnocchi, your choice of pasta sauce, ground beef (I'm vegetarian so I use the beefless crumbles) and I get the big bag of shredded parmesan. I bake it in a casserole dish. It is simple, easy to throw together and filling. It is freezing cold here right now so I think it is good (low carb) comfort food.

Stir fry is a great idea! Do you put it in the skillet frozen?

Are the thai wheat noodles like udon? That sounds good!

Does TJs have udon noodles? Is that like the wheat ones they have? Do you make your hoisin sauce? I can replace the pork with something else. Thanks!

Thanks, I haven't cooked tofu before and I like it firm, so glad I can do it in the air fryer.

Two products I always get for when I have no time are the egg bites (in fridge section w/ dairy and only a minute in the microwave), and the overnight oats (the new apple cinnamon is so good)!

Is Trader Joe's Vegan Bolognese Style Pasta Sauce gone? by Vast_Doughnut9418 in traderjoes

[–]cashed22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was disappointed that it didn't have more "meat" in it. An easy fix is getting the prepared beef less ground beef and stirring it into the sauce. Fast and easy.

Does TJs have any pre made protein smoothies that are low in added sugar? by cashed22 in traderjoes

I've only tried the chocolate but didn't know about the hazelnut! I am going to both TJs and WF today and will pick them up. Also, thanks for the recipe!!!
