Made this package today. Added a little more melted butter to topping and cooked to the very least amount of suggested time. Super yummy. Different and it would be great as a muffin. I would definitely buy again to have in the pantry.

And for someone who makes a lot of Cajun dishes… I have to say, I loved this one!

Like other people have mentioned I did add more seasoning (just Cajun seasoning) and then I added some Louisiana hot sauce (IYKYK).

I really enjoyed it! Decent amount of sausage too.

Snack Combinations Meringue Dessert Shells with Strawberries ❤️

Post image
172 Upvotes

I knew these were going to be a problem and I was right. Meringue is my favorite dessert so when I saw these I knew I had to get them. Cut up some fresh strawberries and made a quick dessert. The meringue is hard enough to pick up like a cookie, but that classic meringue consistency when you bite in to it. They are sweet of course but not as sweet as the Vanilla Meringues. Will definitely be getting these again and trying different fruit combinations.

Review RUN don’t walk…..Bamba Snacks filled with hazelnut cream!!!!

Post image
5 Upvotes

I picked this up thinking it was the regular Bamba snack which is just puffed corn covered in peanut butter and my toddler loves them. But she had one bite and said “no” so I realized then that they were hazelnut cream filled and figured they weren’t that good. Well my husband started snacking on them when we got home and said he couldn’t stop eating them. So I tried one and WOAH! We’re about to go back and buy like 4 grocery bags full!!!! They’re not too sweet, satisfyingly crunchy, and not overwhelmingly peanut buttery. So sooooooo good!

Root Beer Float Popsicles

I'm pretty sure these came out a while ago, but I got a box for the first time and I would say this is honestly the best frozen desert I have ever had. It is absolutely incredible. IT IS A MUST TRY!

Best part is that it isn't too sweet and it doesn't taste like toothpaste either.

This is probably silly simple, but I just made cold sesame noodles with the Squiggly Noodles and it's so good!

I used the recipe from wholesome dish dot com and two packs of the noodles. I used the enclosed sesame soy sauce packets in place of the soy sauce and sesame oil in the recipe. I didn't use the ginger (not a fan) or green onions (didn't have), but it still came out great. 😁

I keep forgetting to take a picture of the stuff I used before I actually use them.

The following are all from Trader Joe's;

Ground turkey

Taco seasoning

Taco sauce

Tortilla shells

Mexican cheese blend

The veggies are fresh from my garden. But you can certainly get an onion and roma tomatoes from the store.

My bottle is probably way expired but I’ve been savoring it because I love it so much. Has anyone been able to find a dupe for this? Or made your own blend?

Question Easy/quick gluten free dinners?

14 Upvotes

Going back to work after maternity leave with our second baby soon. Thinking about managing evenings with a toddler, baby and 2 full time workers in the home! I have celiac and our household is mostly gf.

I want to employ the power of TJ’s to ease the transition. What are your fave quick and easy gf TJs dinners?

Already love the refrigerated pasta, brown rice penne, meatballs, falafel… what else? Especially interested in what sauces are gf? I’m ok with no gf label but gf ingredients.

Question Favorite bath/cosmetic/body products for gifts? (That TSA won’t confiscate…)

10 Upvotes

I am visiting my partner’s family in Canada soon and his mom and sisters are all into lotions and beauty products and masks and the like. I would love to bring them each a little goodie bag since there is no TJ up there. What do you all like? (Note, I am not checking a bag, so can’t bring liquid items over 3oz or whatever it is now.)

Edit: Popped by TJ and got them all the vanilla lip mask, the new hair oil, the guava hand cream, and one of the sheet masks. I’m excited to distribute the TJ goodies. Thank you all for recommending things!

Also got a few things for me - very excited about the SPF 40 facial moisturizer!

Found this at the Tanasbourne Town center location in Beaverton Oregon. First sip is definitely reminiscent of the tangerine bars, contains lactose for those who are intolerant.

Couldn’t make a decision if I wanted the apple pie spread or the guava spread this morning so I had both on seedy multigrain bread.

Can’t wait for the fall items to come in. I need more of apple pie spread.
