With the new job and my mid-semester projects coming due, it has been an exhausting week. Scott and I were practically out of food, so I planned my recipes and headed to the newest grocery store in our area. Trader Joe's is a mere 8.5 miles away and promises organic and healthy food at a low price. I don't care too much whether organic food or not, but I was hoping for cheap cheeses and low priced wine. I was schocked to see how small the store was, but I did find practically all that I needed. I guess it is mostly for single people or couples who like to eat healthy, but don't necessarily like to cook. They store sold tempting food like multigrain pancake mix next to maple, blueberry syrup and chocolate almond torts.
This weekend I am going to make Lemon -Herb Roasted Chicken, green beans with roasted onions, mashed potatoes with parsnips & parsley root, warm goat cheese salad, and maple-pecan sticy buns. Trader Joe's had it all except for walnut oil, parsley root, and a roasting chicken large enough (TR's were very skinny). So off to another store which had the chicken but no parsley root (what is that anyway) and no walnut oil. I saw two labels of two different brands where the oil should have been but no suck luck.
Overall, I enjoyed the store (I did end up buying wine for $2.49) and can't wait for some sticky buns tomorrow morning.
