    unrelated but your makeup is always so pretty!!!! My fave thing at Trader Joe's is their vegan marshmallows because I love to put them on sweet potatoes as a dessert with some cinnamon and brown sugar! I also love Trader Joe's Turmeric Ginger Coconut Beverage even though I know I can probably make it at home for cheaper haha

    There's actually many things I find cheaper at Trader Joe's (the frozen items and snacks add up, but there are some pantry staples and produce that I find cheaper and I don't have to worry about whether the item is on sale or not since prices are always the same).

    Poke and steam potatoes, don't over cook to mush. Let cool overnite in fridge. Use box grater the next day and freeze or cook potatoes in the next couple days. Its super easy and cheap to batch cook hasbrowns!! Just plan the day before by steaming and cooling them!! They are easy to grate as well, if not over cooked… I love your channel!! 😊

    My husband who is vegan makes tofu in the air fryer and even though I don’t always like tofu , I love it when it is air fried. Your hubby might like it too. You can marinade it in soy sauce and liquid smoke or hot sauce.

    Excellent TJ'S haul and watched even though Trader Joe's don't have stores in the UK. The 10 minute ideas are fantastic Miranda and I am sure we may have alternative brands for some of the products. Love 🥰the video and love 💕Miranda & Joe.

    It’s easy to miss but I’m pretty sure on the frozen rice, on the front of the package above the total weight of the box, it says that it’s 3 individual 10oz packages. Again easy to miss ( been there, done that too).

    I appreciate you sharing your digestive struggles. I can’t eat granola even though I love it, but the TJ’s rice medley seems to be ok for me. I’ve also found that sometimes I just have to stick to more processed items like white rice and white pasta. It made me feel better knowing you’ve found the same to be true for you.

    I tried forever to get a whole food option for an egg substitute that was good and produced a nice, chewy cookie…. And finally used bob's red mill egg replacer… It's the BEST egg replacer for baked goods. Hands down

    Great haul. Guess what….we are finally getting a Trader Joe’s near me ❤️‍🔥. I also mix my pasta so I don’t have multiple bags or boxes half full. Both of those dinners looked delicious.

    Thanks for sharing 🥰 no trader Joe's here, I think maybe it's like Aldi. Which have speciality items. Heading into spring now over here 🙃🇦🇺, I love anything pumpkin. Currently baking a huge butternut pumpkin.
    The mention of vlogmas made me smile. I loved the last one you did and was like yay everytime you posted a video 💞

    I also do not like Apple scented candles. Those and plain vanilla make me nauseous. I really want to try the jackfruit curry I think my son and I would both like it. I buy their hash browns and fire roasted corn all the time. Thanks for sharing the recipes!

    Thank you for the ideas! I haven't been to Trader Joe's since I have been plant based. I am gluten-free and they have a lot of great GF items. I cannot eat avocados either and I am having a terrible time finding a good oil free salad dressing so I will try the avocado dressing you bought to see if it is safe for me too. The gut struggle is real!

    Like so many companies these days, Trader Joe's has had problems with shipping from their suppliers. I've been waiting for my favorite bean and rice burritos for weeks now and they said it might be another two weeks or longer.

    Always enjoy your videos.
    I am not a pumpkin spice everything kind of girl. I dont mind using some pumpkin spice in my coffee once in a while but I do not understand the rage with oumpking spice everything. It must be the rage or they would not be making these pumpkin spice products. Lol.
    I live in southeast Texas and its still hot here too. 😅
    I too love sparkling water.
    I too can not digest wheat. I can't digest much of the "healthy" carbs. I eat russet potatoes, white past, jasmine rice….it is what it is because digestion is huge.
    The Trader Joe's Green Goddess dressing is so good. I am not a ranch dressing person.
    I am absolutely addicted to avocados. I have a quota that I must have in the house. My family laughs at me.

    The Laura bars are super easy to mock from what I have seen..
    Also with lentil soup I finally figured out a splash of balsamic vinegar gives it that same flavor

    I only like tofu if it’s squeezed out and baked and doesn’t have that spongy texture

    We don't have a trader Joe's and our target is over an hr away. Please help me! It is awesome that you do meals for $10 and have done $35 budget. Some about me I grew up with my mom and we would grocery shop about every month. I have no idea what the price would be because I never paid attention or had to pay. I think it was between $100-$200. She is now gone. I am married and go grocery shopping about every week maybe every other week. I go so overboard. I buy plant-based frozen meals, frozen veggies as well as fresh and frozen fruit as well as fresh also. Any advice?

    Re the pasta jar with different kinds of pasta. It does look nice on the counter. But…. since different shapes of pasta have different lengths of cooking time, I would be confused if I mixed them! Sometimes it's not obvious either. Elbow mac:8-10min, angel hair:3-5min, Farfalle:13-16min, fettuccine:9-11min! Am I the only one that still has to check the suggested boil times??? 🤔😏
