I Heart Trader Joe’s!

We were really excited when we moved from our condo in Santa Monica to a cute, little house in Manhattan Beach. We love our house, our neighbors, the neighborhood, the school district, the strand, and the the whole vibe. The icing on the cake (at least for me) was the fact that we would be living within walking distance to Trader Joe’s! I always loved shopping at Trader Joe’s because their products and prices are so fantastic, but it had never been convenient before. That was all about to change and I could hardly wait!

Now my love affair with Trader Joe’s is in full swing and I can’t imagine my life without it. Dramatic yes…but it’s true. I rarely go to other grocery stores and simply stopped buying some of the products that Trader Joe’s doesn’t carry, because they have so many other amazing products that I don’t miss those other products a bit! I don’t know if it’s part of the job requirement, but the people who work at our Trader Joe’s are ridiculously friendly. I love that!

I also love using my Cooking With Trader Joe’s Cookbook! It has amazing recipe ideas that incorporate all sorts of Trader Joe’s products!
