I typically loath going to a grocery store. Probably because it feels mundane and an obligated chore. However, going to Trader Joe's makes me feel happy. The aloha theme store, the beautiful flowers, the seasonal decor. It's all so ... charming. It gives me the ability to feel as if I stepped into small town like Rory and Lorelei IN STARS HOLLOW.
As a result of my many trips to Trader Joe's I've been able to gather a list of my ultimate favorites that you'll be able to snag all year long (the list doesn't include seasonal products).
These are the 14 best, tried and trUe favoriteS of Trader Joe's.
1. FIG & OLIVE CRISPS
 |
| You need these like you need to breathe. Seriously, if you have any gathering needing crackers, get these. Everyone will be impressed. Add it your charcuterie board every time because these crackers go with any cheese. My favorite is Goat cheese covered in blueberries. |
 |
| Sure, you can easily whip up some balsamic glaze yourself but why go through the hassle when this is so good. Really, put it on EVERYTHING! |
 |
| I was such a skeptic about this Cauliflower pizza crust. I can confirm, its great. I mean it won't replace my unhealthy pizza anytime soon but this is great and filling. Throw that glaze all over it, trust me. |
 |
| All my years going to the Jewish bakery across my elementary school has come to this. THIS IS GOOD! I mean, if you can go to a local Jewish bakery, go there but this is a good substitute. |
5. EVERYTHING BUT THE BAGEL SESAME SEASONING
 |
| I'm positive you've heard of this and yes its as good as people claim. |
6. FROZEN CROISSANTS
 |
| I wish I was eating these in France every Saturday instead of my couch but its good, especially the Almond croissants. |
 |
| I just started eating this green goddess salad dressing about a month ago and it's so holy good! I use it as a dipping sauce for my turkey wraps and wow its delicious and healthy. Win win. |
 |
| You need to buy this. I don't know how else to tell you. |
9. SPICY PEANUT VINAIGRETTE
 |
| Have you ever had the Santa Fe salad from cheesecake factory? You should but you should also buy this salad dressing, it taste the same. Probably my favorite Trader Joe's product and if this gets discontinued I don't know how I'll live. |
10. SWEET POTATO GNOCCHI
 |
| Really Yummy. Just don't follow the instructions on the back. |
11. TRADER JOE'S FLOWERS!
 |
| My local Trader Joe's has the best flowers, hands down. Always fresh, in season and perhaps underpriced? Seriously, buy yourself some flowers. |
12.&13. VEGETABLE AND CHICKEN SAMOSAS
 |
| After years of going to Indian restaurants I know nothing except their food is delicious and this holds up. One of my most favorite things. I love both equally. |
14. THAI VEGETABLE GYOZA
 |
| These are so good. |
