Is there really a Joe? You know, Joe behind Trader Joes?
Because if there is I owe him a beer or something.
I visited the Trader today. First I picked up Chicken-less Strips so I could eat meat free without feeling deprived.
For dinner I made a hot salad with onions, broccoli slaw, TJ’s Peanut Sauce (again, courtesy of Joe), soy sauce, dash of maple syrup and chicken-less strips. 
I wish I would have remembered to pick up peanuts – that was the only thing missing. 
Then, once you have hot salad for dinner you can indulge in the most recent Trader Joe’s delicacy – Chocolate Covered Joe-Joe’s. 
Oh wait, it gets better – there are four flavors: dark chocolate covered chocolate Joe’s, dark chocolate covered peppermint, peanut butter covered milk chocolate and white chocolate covered ginger Joe’s.
Double chocolate:
Double happiness.
Thank you Joe. Thank you.
Those Joes-joes are addicting! I love the peppermint ones soooooo much 🙂
DEAR GOD! I did not know about the multi-flavor pack of chocolate covered delicious heaven. Thank you.
I’m not much of a fan of the chicken-less strips, I happen to love Quorn brand chicken-less items the best.
And omg I need those cookies in my life!! I’m going to TJ’s tonight, I kind of hope they’re out of stock lol.
If there is a real Joe, I might propose to him.
i wish i had a joe!
To add another confession: I hate faux meat. It tries to taste like meat. I don’t eat meat, because it’s disgusting. No faux meat for me! 😉
Ha double chocolate=double happiness…I couldn’t agree more:)
Oh goodness, those cookies are not good to have in the house – I tried that a few weeks ago – best of luck to you ; )
omg you were eating them while you were talking to me about them!?
i’m making whit get them this weekend. or he’s a dead boyfriend.
TJs is amazing and those cookies look ridiculous they could be the death of me. I am so addicted to the peanut sauce, it says like 17 servings in a jar, yet somehow I’ve made four stirfrys and its nearly empty. I might try those chicken strips too!
I miss having a trader joes close : p
wow those look soooooooooooooooo good!!!! I would have a problem not eating all those yummy chocolate joe-joes!
TJ’s is the best store in the world and there *is* a real Joe.
This article goes inside TJ’s and was one of my favorite reads for the past summer. Definitely check it out: http://money.cnn.com/2010/08/20/news/companies/inside_trader_joes_full_version.fortune/index.htm#joe
Good to hear positive things about the company from such an in-depth piece — no scandals. 😀
Oh man, I was just at TJ’s yesterday. I didn’t see those cookies, but I did buy the regular candy cane Joe-Joe’s.
I’m putting these Joes on my Christmas list asap!
I LOVE TRADER JOE’S! I’ve never seen those cookies, but that is probably a good thing…
How are the chicken-less strips? Do they taste somewhat like chicken?
I don’t really think they taste like chicken, but they are “meatier” in texture than tofu so it’s a nice change.
