Trader Joe’s Victory!

I decided to make another attempt at conquering Trader Joe’s yesterday.

Mission accomplished.

It turns out my lunch hour is prime time for conquering Trader Joe’s.  I scoured the place for the recommendations I received from Michele, Suzee, Liz, Allison, Monet, Stacy, and Alicia. I had to stick to non-perishables since I didn’t feel like stocking up the workplace freezer for the afternoon.

When it came to their recommendations, I was only successful in locating the Almond Butter with Flaxseed that Michele recommended.  It looks absolutely amazing.  I can’t wait to put it to use!

Thanks for the tips ladies!

These were the final products:

I actually expected to leave with a lot more goodies, but the lunch hour goes too fast!

Lunch hour shopping also meant I had to make room for one more visitor in the car:

Panera:  My all-time favorite lunch (and breakfast) stop!  Their Orchard Harvest Chicken salad is packed full of wholesome goodness, a definite must-try.

I already have big plans for those mini-pitas. I can’t wait to share!
