It’s here!
I love the Mandrin orange ‘chkn’ stirfry and really enjoy the TJ’s baked tofus!
I don’t even know if I can pick just ONE TJs favorite?!?! But I do love those meatless meatballs…as well as the Spinach Kale Greek Yogurt Dip, the Black Bean and Quinoa tortilla chips, and their unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk! Told ya I couldn’t just pick one!
I live off of the the unsweetened almond milk.
It wouldn’t be fair to make someone pick such a thing!
But I do crave the black bean enchiladas every single minute of every day.
I know, it’s like making someone pick their favorite child.
I’m a huuuge fan of their mint chip ice cream. It tastes so natural and refreshing and the chocolate chips are actually made of really good chocolate!
Oh, and the cinnamon apple snack sticks! Oh my…
I’ve been eying those apple snack sticks, but haven’t gotten them yet. Thanks for the endorsement.
My favorite TJs item is the store that is coming to my city next year!!
(seriously, if I have to pick, since I’ve never been in one yet, is the chocolate/candy covered sunflower seeds I received as a gift from a friend).
My family and I love to build Salad Sundaes with organic lettuce and veggies from TJ’s. Favorite toppings include walnuts, shaved parm and feta.
Ooh, good idea!
Oh man, too many to choose. Their kale chips for being so darned affordable. Their hummus for going great on my salad (that I’m eating right now!). Their repackaged Gardein products for being so much cheaper than anywhere else! And so many more!
I love all of Trader Joe’s yummy hummus flavors! I go through at least (most likely two) containers every week
I love their vegan cookies. Must buy on every trip. Congrats on the early release of your book. Look forward to checking it out! Thanks for the giveaway!
The cherry chocolate chip soy creamy ice cream. so amazing!
Yes! I have an ice cream cake recipe in the book that uses that ice cream- SO GOOD.
I don’t have a favorite, since I’ve only been to one and only got to try a few things, but what I really like about TJ’s is that they have signs clearly marked vegan (so you don’t have to read every label) and that they are more than happy to print a list for you of everything in the store that is vegan. Counting the days until one opens here.
Yes, their labeling practices are excellent.
A favorite? So hard! I think I have to go with the chickenless mandarin chicken.
Congrats on your cookbook!
I’m pretty much addicted to TJ’s Mediterranean Hummus!
Right now my favorite is their Spiced Cider. It’s just that time of year when I need to have it all heated up with some Halloween cookies.
Ooh, I know. Have you tried the pear cider? I love it.
Eggplant hummus and their repackaged Popchips. Yeppers, those make me quite happy
just discovered the frozen vegetarian samosas–new favorite obsession! (congrats on the book!)
There are so many things I love at TJs – I always stock up when I’m near one! I’d have to say that the freeze dried fruits are some of my favorites right now!
It is hard to choose a (!) favorite, so I’ll list a few: cheddar cheese with carmelized onion (oh my) – melt a little of that on some TJ’s sprouted multi-grain bread with some thinly sliced fresh tomato and it is a fabulous lunch. I also really like the masala veggie patties wrapped in the frozen garlic naan bread. Quick & yummy meal with a salad. The triple ginger cookies make my heard bleed for joy. The almond croissants are pretty much to die for, too. OK, I’ll stop now. I’m looking forward to seeing your cookbook live.
So tough to choose just one, but the Thai vegetable gyozas are so delicious! So many options to choose from at Trader Joe’s…
I recently bought their lighter guac (guac + greek yogurt). It disappeared across two meals. Woops! 😀
Oh my god… the COOKIE BUTTER!!!
My favorite also has to be the cookie butter. By the spoonful.
Uh, yes.
Don’t enter us in the contest, because we already received our copy! So exciting! The book looks fantastic! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I didn’t even know TJ’s was coming out with a veg cookbook, and vegan versions of each recipe to boot?!?! Awesome!
Oops I submitted too soon, my favorite TJ’s goodie would have to be their vegan soy chorizo. It’s super cheap and a perfect addition to chili’s and burritos!
Agreed- I use it in a hearty, fast Mexican casserole in the book, it’s delicious!
No Pudge Brownies OMG SOOO GOOD! though they are not Vegan, and they no longer carry them they were a wonderful treat while they lasted.
I Love the Thai vegetable gyozas .
I am recently turning over a new leaf in life and becoming VEGAN and trader Joes is such a great place to shop they have alot of options even for my non Vegan hubby.
I love those gyozas, too! Delicious!
My favorite is a simple creation: a spoonful of TJ’s pumpkin ice cream between two thin triple ginger snaps. Yum!
Sometimes simple is best.
I love that Trader Joe’s has PDF lists on their website of the vegan and gluten-free products they carry! My favorite is their extensive and affordable nut selection. Congratulations on the cookbook!!
Their nut selection is incredible, agreed.
Ughh…. If I have to pick ONE, it would be TJ’s cherry chocolate chip soy creamy… and number 2 would be like 16 way tie
I love so many things at TJ’s, but I would have to say I am addicted to their dried apples! All of their dried fruit is amazing, actually.
I just double checked your request for a favorite, and looks like it doesn’t have to be vegetarian. Although roughly half of our meals are vegetarian, we do eat chicken and fish. My fav is the Chicken Tikki Masala. I usually serve TJ’s Garlic Naan or Indian bread on the side and stir fry some of their organic pea shoots. I’m in heaven! Congrats on the new release!
I love the vegan “meats” they carry. I try not to use them too often, but they are a nice treat every once in a while!
I’m addicted to TJ’s hummus.
Congrats, Kris! As far as a TJ goodie goes, I have to pick their flaxseed peanut butter. Because, peanut butter, man. There’s no way not to pick that.
I love buying staples at TJ’s…their maple syrup, balsamic vinegar…inexpensive and great quality!
