I love how sheâs being honest with the appetisers instead of just saying how great everything is and being fake
Yep! They could of picked better appetizers as well. What about the smoked salmon, smoked trout, vegetable rolls, mini pizzas & more....
Yes!! If the taster loves everything it makes me skeptical of what theyâre saying.
"Smells like a bagel from Starbucks" is one of the most tragic Californian food lines in history
Tragic
lol I knew somthjng was off about this description of a bagel
hearing it hurt my soul
"if you put it on a plain bagel, it'll taste like an everything bagel" ....sent me
HAHA when it wasnt some local authentic bagel shop i was like STARBUCKS???
For those of you who are just finding this video. My wife and i go to trader Joe's twice a month. We love Indian food but for 3 people 60 a pop it can get expensive. Those Chicken Tika masala dinners taste just like the real thing. Great to eat at lunch for work or quick snack if you're too tired to cook dinner. Pair that with a pack or two of garlic Naan bread(usually right next to the Tika dinners in same isle) you're good to go. There's one with fish that is good also, turkey meatballs are great as well. I used those when I went on a no carb diet
I love Jackie as a host. I think she's very entertaining and is honest when she does not enjoy a product, which is refreshing. Please, have her review more snacks!
Cauliflower gnocchi:
1. Heat a tablespoon or so olive oil in a large skillet in medium high heat
2. Add frozen gnocchi directly to the pan (do not thaw)
3. Leave the gnocchi undisturbed for 5-6 minutes
4. Right before flipping, season side one. I use salt, pepper, Montreal steak seasoning, and garlic powder
5. Flip and cook undisturbed for four minutes.
6. Continue flipping until all sides are golden and crispy. The insides will be soft, the outsides crispy.
7. If you need to, add more oil. Donât be afraid of olive oil.
Note: Do not shuffle them around the pan. The more you mess with them, the less crispy.
Note: I havenât cooked these in the air fryer but I bet theyâre good in there.
Anything you want with the gnocchi, cook separately and mix together when done. I cook it with vegetables that I either roast in the oven or sauté. I have also had it with sausage and that was pretty great.
I donât make it with a sauce because I think they get soggy. I would be more prone to think of them like fried ravioli and dip in a sauce than coat them in a sauce.
Pro tip: pan fry the cauliflower gnocchi instead of following the package directions, it's SO much better
Pop it in the air fryer, your life will be changed forever lol
Do I have a Trader Joe's anywhere near me? Absolutely not. Am I still going to watch this? Hell yes.
This is going to sound nuts but Trader Joe's has the best vanilla ice cream I've ever eaten in my entire life. I know what you're thinking. "How good can vanilla ice cream really be?" Guys it's that good.
Top it off with cookie butter
The *crunchy* red jar MMM!
Coffee Icecrean tooâŒïžâŒïž
The Trader Joeâs soup dumplings are 100% a staple in my house
Those are the best.
You know what else is great? The chocolate sunflower cups. Those are always sold out and so delicious
PMS chocolate lava cake. Perfect
Trader Joeâs has some delicious snacks and appetizers.
Also, Julia and Jackie need to make a new video together soon!
Try their lamb vindaloo. I pair it with their frozen garlic naan. It's spicy and delicious. It's my favorite frozen dinner from Trader Joe's.
The hatch chile mac and cheese, chocolate ice cream cones, and kimchi fried rice..... ahhhh so good.
Agreed about all of those.
I am obsessed with Trader Joeâs. Their orange chicken and Kung pao chicken are on point. Lol and I always air fry the sâmores they are heavenly. I barely have anything I hate from there.
Something I found to add to the hate list - their toothpaste. It's really bad.
I absolutely love Jackie on Delish. Especially June teaching Jackie to cook. This is great, too.
Seeing her put soooo much dip on her chips gave me anxiety for some reason đ the ratio was just so off on some of those chips lmao
Lmaoo right in was waiting for someone to say it
I*
I mean thats how you enjoy dip to me it bothers me when ppl just dip the tip like ur not getting any flavor
Lol omg me to I thought I was tripping how much anxiety that gave me
Other TJ's Favorites:
Truffle Mushroom Flatbread
Dried Mandarin Oranges
Plantain Chips
Meat Balls (Vegan/Soy)
Kettle Popcorn (Pink & White Bag)
Mini Tacos
Vegetarian Thai Gyoza
Blue Corn Tortillas with Green Verde Sauce
Corn Pudding (I never thought I would've liked it but one Thanksgiving my aunt brought it and it was a WRAP)
I love her commentary! She is really good at describing the items and her experience in a way that I have some new items to try!
She was so fun to watch! I need more videos with her!
Loved this!! We 100% need a part 2
The mandarin orange chicken is the bomb. We buy 5 bags at a time. It is my go to when I want Chinese.
Yesss! Along w the bbq teriyaki w some of their fried rice, and whip up some easy lo mein đ I get their fridge aisle tikka masala or frozen butter chicken w garlic naan to save on Indian take out too lol.
I love this! Iâm ready to hit the nearest Trader Joeâs store! I have tried many of these items and agreed with her same tastes. Ready to try some new ones!
Try their potstickers! Thin wrapper goodness in soups!
The dip round it comes down to if you feel like having meat (buffalo chicken) or not (cauliflower & jalapeno.) Spanakopita wins...every...time. Snacks it comes down to if you want sweet (chile mango) or savory (spicy mochi.) The dumplings hands down. Lava cake FTW! Whole Foods also has the dark chocolate pb cups (I know Reese's does as well) so I'd like to try both WF and TJ at the same time to compare. Great video, thanx! ~Be Blessed
She is so fun to watch. I need more videos with her!
I also agree that sweet spreads .... âcookie butter, almond hazelnut spreadâ is better with fruit đ€
I love how much dip she picks up because same
Just an FYI to my fellow delish fans, if youâre interested in eating dried fruit as a healthy snack, make sure you look for some that doesnât have extra added sugar :)
I was looking for this comment!!!!
Yes.
Love the reviews, sad to not see your kitchen. Iâve been loving you in your home. Thank you for the video!
The butter chicken entree (frozen) is awesome! I am obsessed!
The lemon bars, from the frozen section, are an absolute delight đ
yes, so delish. I don't thaw them, I eat them as a frozen treat.
@@hotsistersue Me too! They're excellent with a hot coffee or teađ
The raspberry vanilla bars! So yummy!
@@stephanieann9890 Oh, we haven't tried them but I'll definitely put them on my list. My daughter loves raspberries đ I get the best recommendations from the comments. Thank youđ
the key lime tart is also amazing
The Chipotle Vegetable Quesadillas are AMAZING!!! The Black Bean Taquitos are sooo good too!
She's so pretty đ€©
I really want to speak to who made this top 25 list? Y'all ain't right. First of all how the carmelized onion dip didn't make the top dips I'm baffled. For appetizers the vegetable nests and the pastry pups are heavenly. The snack section was ALL wrong like I am baffled at this selection. The jalapeno corn and rice puffs are CRACK, the bamba is incredible (in either flavor), and puffed cheese doodles are the best. Dinner wise how the gyoza or fried rice in any flavor did not make the list is criminal. The dark chocolate peanut butter cups are crack LOVE them so I'm happy they made the list. But I have a bone to pick with this list maker.
we need june to come try some stuff with jackie one day. that combo is THE best.
Try air frying the cauliflower gnocchi if you donât like the texture! They are so good!!
I needed this honest review. Trader Joe's is god but not unquestionably great the way some people act.
no one:
jackie: the textureâs so good
This was fantastic! Going shopping there asap †love your style and format! More please, especially since you can order on line if distance/health etc are constraints!
The mandarin orange chicken, and cookie butter are among my favorites. FYI... the plantain chips and veggie samosas are amazing too.
Who else teared up watching her eat that lava cake. đ„șđ€€
I think she needed a sponge afterwards. J/S.
Really can't decide who my favorite host is among Jackie, June and Julia, I love them all girls, they're the kind of people I'd like to be BFF with!
Right!!! Same here!!!!!
My son and I both love snacking on the Unexpected Cheddar. Seriously, we'll eat it straight out of the bag! I have to make sure to buy at least two bags so we don't fight over it. LOL
As an American living in the UK, I MISS TRADER JOE'S SO MUCH! PB cups, I love you....
The dark chocolate pb cups are the best đ§Ą
@Lindsay O'Leary, I live in Korea, and so I completely relate. Just 4 months and I'll be back in the US and can buy all this deliciousness
@@betsywilliams3666 I'm hoping to go back by 2022. Please eat all the amazing things you didn't even know existed! TJ â€ïž 4-eva!
Also, I love to mix the Indian dishes, like the spicy chicken curry and the chana masala. Stretches out the meal and really yummy combo. And two boxes of the full meals are fewer than 800 calories!
ahhh you missed so many good things! the best frozen app is the vegetable bird nests. youâre def right about the mac and cheese bites being disappointing. best snacks are their version of takis, the crispy okra, and the tamari crackers! those ghost pepper chips are fire too but you tried them đ
I just learned that TJ recently opened a store near me and Iâm so excited. Thanks for this fun video and the great recommendations. Mandarin orange chicken and lava cakes are the first items on my list.
You may also want to watch Katie Hespe. I like to watch her for ideas since she works there but not sponsored by them. This was a great video, too.
I always love how Jackie reacts! Sheâs definitely my favortie host!
she's the worst
Thanks for doing this! You don't see advertising from TJ as it is against company policy. So this helps their customers get more insight. I LOVE TRADER JOES! One of my favorites is the Truffle Chicken Pate! YUM!
Thank you for this comment. I didn't even know Trader Joe's sold this and it has changed my life
I didn't know that they don't advertise... Like why not? Don't you want more people to shop at your store??
The tikka masala samosas are one of my faves that you didnât feature here. Also, the pelmeni are sooo good with butter and the organic sour cream with the cows on the label. đ
I really love their frozen gnocchis. And they give enough for a complete meal on nights you donât feel like cooking anything. Excellent TJs haul review!
Watching this on my lunch break. I already ate, but youâre making me hungry again. đ
i stock up on the chile lime rolled chips & frozen mac n cheese every time
The buffalo chicken dip will always be my favorite dip
Yes the pork and chicken soup dumplings are awesome but you got to try the chicken tikka samosas!
Jackie maybe you should try all the peanut butter pretzels filled brands and do a pretzel dip in the peanut butter jarâŠand start from the best to least favorite
I love your energy, always puts a smile on my face. :)
Jackie you said shedded cheese instead of shredded cheese for the buffalo chicken dip. Also... They have a curry fish (i think it's curry)... One of my favorites!!!
Triple Ginger Cookies before they ruined them. Now they're fluffy and pale. Before they were dark, snappy, and spicy with more ginger pierces.
Those dark chocolate peanut butter cups.... CRACK!! I just brought some a week ago after winging myself off of them a few years ago and they still taste AMAZING! đđ
I always feel guilty eating dried fruit... cuz the sugar intake is HIGH!
Thank you for actually giving your opinion and not just saying everything is great.
I'm surprised the Red Argentina Shrimp wasn't on this taste test... It literally tastes like Lobster!!!
No it doesnât. I eat a LOT of lobster and itâs not there for me. Itâs not sweet enough. At least not for Maine lobster.
@@Itsmeeyourmom that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.
I love the cookie butter. It is really good on celery
Planning my first ever trip to Trader Joeâs this weekend :)
Try the Soy & Flaxseed Chips. Very flavorful variation on tortilla chips.
As a Canadian I have only experienced a trader Joe's once or twice ! But all over Instagram I see the mini ice cream cones all over .. shocked they didn't make this video.
That Buffalo Chicken Dip is fireeeeee!
fact: dried kiwi and dried honeydew are god-tier snacks
The spinach dip should have definitely made the list !
Creamy spinach in a crunchy flakey dough tasty will definitely try these
We have not tried any of that! Soo we're going to have fun on our next shopping trip!
Yay so excited I love Trader Joeâs!! Best place ever xoxo looks so GOOD
đđđđđ
â€ïž this video
Chocolate round was everything!!
I really like Trader Joeâs sweet potato chips!!
Trader joes used to have another supplier for the mac and cheese bites and now they just don't taste the same đđ
The cauliflower gnocchi need to go in the air fryer. Do that and toss in brown butter it is amazing I donât eat them any other way. Never follow the package instructions for this one thing.
Why donât they fill their pretzels with that cookie butter? That would be good!!
You deserve a raise immediately!
I love Jackie! She's so enthusiastic. More Jackie!!
Love the energy in this video. Some of the stuff looks great.
Also love the honesty. Some Trader Joe's items can be meh at times.
Iâve never been to Trader Joeâs but have always wanted to go because of all the hype and this video just made me want to go even more đ„ș
Iâm sorry, Trader Joeâs has a return policy? You can declare the snack whack and take it right back to the rack?
Yup.
You can also ask to try the food while youâre in the store. Theyâll open it up and let you sample. Well, this might not be true right now during the pandemic but it was true previously.
They also let you try the wine too. Well before the pandemic you could try before you buy.
Dude those dark chocolate peanut butter cups are AMAZING !! def dangerous lol
Yes, and so does Aldi.
The chicken soup dumpling...I canât get enough of them. Try them too
The dumplings are AMAZING! đ
Out of all of these items...I just want your sweater!
right?!
đđ
I didnât know I needed this in my life
Absolutely loved this review, Jackie! Need to get me some orange chicken and lava cake.
I like the way she does this video! Also, please try trader joe's chocolat Cat cookies in the tub. Sooo chocolaty and rich and delicious
Desert makes me want to dance also. Finally someone who get's it :')
Personally I appreciate the big bites and heavy dip ratio! Thatâs how itâs meant to be eaten!
The little daycare storyđ I can sooo relate lol
My daycare gave us a huge spoon of straight pb đ€ą. I canât đ€Šđ»ââïž talk about needing milk đ„đ totally ruined pb for me for like 30 years
BROOOOOO the buffalo chicken dip is FUCKING phenomenal đ„čđ
NGL I thought Stouffers had the best mac and cheese for the longest time until I tried Trader Joe's mac and cheese. It is ridiculously good and worth ever penny spent.
This is the comment I was looking for thank you! Im hella lactose intolerant and I'll suffer for that Stouffers Mac and Cheese so I'll try this one
@@agirlyhasnoname There's a gluten-free one at Trader Joe's. :). If you don't like that one, try the vegan Amy's brand. They are gluten-free, dairy free, etc.
I love their buffalo chicken poppers. Yummmmm!
We don't even have trader Joe's in my country but i would literally watch Jackie doing anything đ
I cant believe after all this time, I've still never gone to a Trader Joe's. The prices really intrigued me. I didn't realize they're so affordable. I wonder if the strong inflation in the past year affected these products much... I'll have to stop into a store soon.
I love the mandarin orange chicken!!!
Great job. Taking your video to TJ soon
Do the mac n chz balls in the oven! For whatever reason its different! With bacon ranch!
First post of your's I've seen and hilarious + very well done!! I mentioned to another youtuber that you know it's good when the chef or reviewer says "Just give me a moment!", lol... Thanks for making me laugh - Go girl - from Colorado!!
I love Trader Joeâs! Thanks for this ! Lol đ
I always keep at least 2 boxes of those lava cakes in my freezer at all times
I wish Trader Joe's would go virtual. I would shop monthly.
Iâm pretty sure it would be wild. I think they want to stay a medium size franchise
