    Omg. That chicken schwarma in the air fryer is 🔥 I'm salivating at the thought. I'm low carb and did cauli rice which was a bad idea. Next time I'll do a nice salad with it

    I love your meal ideas. I've been to my Aldi so many times in the past month because of your videos. We finally got into our new home and it's right around the corner, yay! I think I've even made my brother a believer. I printed out all your chicken crock pot recipes, every one is absolutely delicious! Thank you so much!! Sadly, there isn't a Trader Joes by me now, but there is by my brother's so I'm going to have to pop in and shop for this stuff we visit.

    Believe it or not, I love Trader Joe's Brussel sprouts! I get the ones on the stalks when they are in season and the frozen ones when they are not. I roast them in the oven. BTW, I love you hauls and menu ideas. You do a great job organizing the ingredients that you need to make the meals. It makes it very easy and enjoyable to follow your videos.

    • @MotherThyme
      @MotherThyme  Před měsícem +1

      Hi! Oh yum! I love Brussels sprouts too! I love roasting them and dipping them in garlic aioli! It’s so good! I’m so glad you enjoy these videos too!❤️

    Love your channel... cooking, thrifting, crafting, my favorites! This video came at just the right time. Lacrosse season is in full swing, and with three grandchildren each in multiple leagues, we need quick dinners! So many great items to buy at Trader Joes!

    • @MotherThyme

    Love all your recommendations, will definitely be trying them. One of our favorites from Trader Joe’s is their frozen beef and broccoli, so good with just a hint of spice. Also try their grilled olives, and dolmades stuffed grape leaves!

    • @MotherThyme
      @MotherThyme  Před měsícem

      Hi! I’ll definitely have to try those!

    I don't have a Trader Joes, but you gave me some great dinner ideas. I always look forward to Wednesday with Jenn.
    The chicken bruchetta and garlic pasta looked so yummy I'm going to try that. And I like that clean up is so easy. Thanks again see you soon. 😊

    Love your meal ideas from TJ’s! I enjoy that store so much. I’ve never seen the breaded chicken and I’ll be looking for it next time I go. The shu mai and pot stickers are our “must haves” on every visit! Have you tried their pineapple salsa? It’s delicious and a nice twist when cooked with chicken.

    oh dear. Can I come and live with you. hahahahahaha. I wish we had Trader Joe's in Canada. I so enjoyed this video. I love the way you cook for your family. When you are busy you still buy good things for meals if one doesnt have the time to cook.I admire how you integrate your homemade with an easier meal that is still so good and healthy for your family. It is so much better tasting than take out. Well done

    I just love your candle that you have sitting there and that big white bowl like Picture with the plant in. It is so cute. Do you have a link for that? And I’m a new subscriber today so I just seen you on CZcams and I love your Trader Joe’s meals because I shop at Trader Joe’s every week and I’m looking for ideas, I love the orange chicken and the chicken strips that they have in there, the potato patties with applesauce, hot applesauce, and I love their bags of rice to go with Costco sells really good vegetable wrap that’s crispy in the air fryer and that goes really good together. Usually, I can get it for six dollars for 50 of them. That’s a really good deal.
