Taiwanese here. Roll the pancake with braised beef and cucumber with sweet garlic soy sauce or fry an egg on top is the way to eat it. Would not recommend air frying them, makes them too dry. Love your haul as always Katie.
I think the spicy homey would be great on roasted veggies. Like Brussels sprouts , some spicy glazed carrots. You could drizzle some over certain pizza’s...like Canadian bacon and pineapple would be great on.
That blueberry cheesecake ice cream looks good, can’t wait to try it. Try drizzling the spicy honey sauce on a gourmet pizza w some pepperoni/prosciutto/etc, cheese like burrata, basil
The cinnamon Toscano cheese that comes out in the fall is my FAVORITE. So so good! I like to put it on the raisin and rosemary crisps with a bit of fig jam on top. Delicious combo. Also great with goat cheese.
Oh wow! This is a good haul 🤩 I can’t wait to go this weekend. I can imagine that chili honey would be amazing on some fried chicken or wings omgggggg 🤤
I make the green onion pancakes in the air fryer all the time. It’s already super greasy, so no need to add oil. Comes out delicious for about 6 minutes at 350 flipped halfway through cooking. Also add an egg, white rice and a smoothie on the side, for the ultimate savory Asian inspired breakfast. The older version of this at Trader Joe’s was called Scallion Pancakes (pa jeon) in the freezer section. Not dry at all after air frying.
Hope you had a great time at the wedding! The Taiwanese green onion pancake is really good. I fried it in oil, but hope it does great in your air fryer test. I was excited to see Cape gooseberries at my store and they are so good I wish I'd bought several packs. I missed seeing the new icecream and other treats, but it sounds delicious.
I cannot wait for the taste test! The green onion pancakes would be so good dipped in Coconut aminos and sesame oil. I have tried Mike's hot honey and always have it on pizza or eggs so definitely going to pick up this hot honey sauce. Also dying to try the Arepas but waiting for them to show up at my TJ's
I love the Beefless Ground with the Enchilada Sauce as well. As a Vegan, they are a staple in my kitchen. I make tacos using the Carb Savvy Tortillas since I am also Low Carb. I add some shredded vegan cheese and avocado, top with fresh 💃 salsa. Yum! I enjoy at least 3 or 4 times a week.
@@KatieHespe I am and the organic brown rice thins were a lifesaver. I could only open my mouth less than an inch the first week. Went through a pack of them and the dark chocolate half coated ones. I love that I get what’s new with you on Friday, see the taste test Saturday, and have my list ready for my husband on Sunday. You have made our grocery shopping so much more efficient❣️ And DELICIOUS. I am definitely going to buy an air fryer and that deal was sealed after seeing the Taiwan onion pancakes in the taste test. Thank you so much Katie for sharing your wonderful family, LOVED seeing Benson give the dogs treats❣️🥰 And The 2nd dog, I think her name is Luna? Her smile was priceless. 🐶🥰💞🙏🏻
Okay that was a HUGE haul, Katie! So many new and seasonal products, I"m excited to go shopping I'm super interested to see what you all think of the Onion pancakes and the ice cream in the taste test. I'm getting the Buzz chocolate bars no matter what!
Not sure if you will mention this (still watching) I saw that the Watermelon Mint Tea bags have new packaging. Every summer, I stock up and almost overlooked it because I was looking for the signature tin. It's now packaged in a box. Same number of tea bags (20) but 1oz less in wt. I compared the ingredients, they removed the (s). So for example, natural flavor instead of natural flavors. Oops... okay, you just mentioned it! Lol
Changing the packaging from that lovely little tin to an ordinary cardboard box is, as Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman would say, "Big Mistake. Big. Huge!" Of course I'll still buy it but maybe not as often as I did in the last couple of years. I love the tea but some of the charm that made $4.99 seem almost reasonable is gone. 😂
@@88keys65 I totally agree. I felt like I was paying a justifiable upcharge for the tin canister. Now it's just expensive tea bags. I really enjoy the tea but I can't see myself stocking up on it now in the box. The box won't protect my treasures like the tin can!
Just went to TJ's earlier this week and discovered that the lemon chess pie is addictive! It didn't last long in my home. 😍 Will try the cheesecake cones soon. Love the Ube ice cream too.
I made a curry chicken salad sandwich with the hot honey! I use plain Greek yogurt for the base. I added some curry, salt and pepper, whatever herbs you like, and a squirt of the hot honey. I then added shredded chicken and toasted nuts (I’ve tried both almonds and pecans), and ate it in a wrap with some spinach and thin sliced cucumbers. Delish! I’ve also added mustard to the sauce too because I’m a mustard fiend lol.
Got the pimento dip. Weird. It would seem like the dip would be more creamy and the spread thicker. But it’s backwards. I like the dip much better! It’s REALLY good!
Hey Katie - I have an idea for a future video. Would love to see you share some of your best air fryer vegetable recipes. We recently got an air fryer and we are upping our vegetable intake and would love your suggestions! Thanks!
My Top 5 Uses for the Spicy Honey Sauce: • Mix with mustard and use on pretzels or as a salmon glaze • Add sweetness and heat to hot or iced teas (amazing with the Watermelon Mint tea iced, im telling you... thank me later) • Top your yogurt parfaits with a drizzle. The spice goes great with the mega strawberries that are currently being sold at my TJs • If you make your own coleslaw, sub the sugar with the spicy honey. • Here's the unconventional one buy I'm telling you, you will TOTALLY thank me later... lip moisturizer! Yaaas. Conveniently in a squeeze bottle just a little less than pea sized amount on the finger and rubbed on bare lips. Rub rub rub then lick it off. Soft lips 💋
I'm curious what the hype for the lite mozz is?? I seriously can't wait for samples to come back at TJs! Any word on that? Love your hauls as always! ❤️
Although that berry cheesecake ice cream looks delicious, I don’t dare buy it. I have no self-control, and I’d eat the whole container in one sitting! I did notice your broadcast was much clearer today. Thought it was your make-up. Either that, or you were just naturally glowing more than usual today. Now I’m heading over to watch the taste test. 😃
This is a stock item for me! Yes air fryer for sure. These are delicious with hoisin sauce-also available at TJ's i think. Otherwise any store that carries teriyaki & other oriental sauces will have it.
Great haul, Katie, but I need to vent for a sec so I apologize in advance. It's very seldom that TJ's disappoints me but today is an exception. Whoever made the decision to change the Mint-Watermelon tea from a tin to a cardboard box needs to go stand in the corner and think about they did. Yes, the little sachets that produce the most magical, delicious summertime elixir are, of course, the stars of the show but that little pink, white, and green tin was just so charming--a selling point in its own right and one of the reasons I only hesitated momentarily when seeing the $4.99 price point for 20 sachets! Mango black tea for $1.99 is looking pretty good about now. 😂 Oh, who am I kidding? Yes, I'll still buy Mint Watermelon tea, after all, we were "Mint to Be" but it won't quite as special. Sorry for the rant, lol, I was hoping it would help. Maybe a glass of wine will see me through. 🍷 🙂
I so understand your point and agree! I am one of those people that purchased things based on packaging lol. I’m just thankful I still have a watermelon tin to reflect on the “good times”. 🤣 all jokes aside, sometimes big companies make decisions based on monetary gain rather than aesthetically appealing packaging….boo!!
@@KatieHespe I'm a sucker for cute packaging as well as you probably figured out after that rant, lol. And, I'm almost embarrassed to admit I still have a couple of the tins as well so all is not lost. Even so, I'm going to miss the tins. They were so adorable. Honestly, as I'm typing this, it just occurred to me I can take them from the cardboard box and put them in the tins I still have. You solved my problem! Thanks Katie!
I still have the tin, too, lol. But, if you don't, World Market sells really cute tea tins for about a dollar or so, and they do help keep it fresher than an open box, or, at least I think they do, lol.
Where in a Trader Joe’s store would I find the Beef-Less Ground Beef? My daughter is vegetarian and I’m always trying to pick up new things for her to try. Also, thanks for the suggestion on using the Trofie Colore pasta for a pasta salad. I picked up 3 bags awhile back and used one package to make a vegetarian pasta salad today for Father’s Day dinner with the family tomorrow.
I’m so glad you’re finding value in my videos. You can find the beef less crumbles in the refrigerated section where the tofu and other meatless products are. Ask a crew member if you can’t find it. 😊
@@KatieHespe And the peach ones disappeared after one week at my local TJ's, however I was told it was due to production issues, and they should be back in early August
Hot honey on pizza. In my local pizzeria, they have Mike's hot honey for pizza. I've also heard that Ubie will be back next month in the form of mochi!!!!!!
Thank you again for another wonderful hall looking forward to the taste test and I will be going to trader Joe's this weekend probably in Chino Hills Southern California
Taiwanese here. Roll the pancake with braised beef and cucumber with sweet garlic soy sauce or fry an egg on top is the way to eat it. Would not recommend air frying them, makes them too dry. Love your haul as always Katie.
Great tips! Thank you so much.
My mouth is watering!!
Sounds great! The pancakes are delicious. I will try the next one as you describe.
OMG now I am coming it have to get the pancakes in my next trip to traders.
OMG the Almond Florentine Cheesecake Cones 😋😋😋 I ate the whole box in one day. I regret nothing.
I think the spicy homey would be great on roasted veggies. Like Brussels sprouts , some spicy glazed carrots. You could drizzle some over certain pizza’s...like Canadian bacon and pineapple would be great on.
Interesting….love the ideas, thank you!
Best on chicken wings
Oh and I make the watermelon tea as an iced tea sweetened with the "hot honey". OMG, such a tasty twist on a yummy fav!
This is GENIUS!
@@AwkwardBirb you're going to love it!
That blueberry cheesecake ice cream looks good, can’t wait to try it. Try drizzling the spicy honey sauce on a gourmet pizza w some pepperoni/prosciutto/etc, cheese like burrata, basil
I actually put hot honey on avocado toast with everything but the bagel seasoning and it’s the perfect sweet salty combo!
I just love your Trader Joe’s hauls-I have been stocking up on a lot of frozen foods at Trader Joe’s and it saves me so much time in the kitchen
The cinnamon Toscano cheese that comes out in the fall is my FAVORITE. So so good! I like to put it on the raisin and rosemary crisps with a bit of fig jam on top. Delicious combo. Also great with goat cheese.
Yum! Love this idea and will have to remember it for the fall!
You should do like a top customer favorites video.

Hot honey is great on deep dish pizza crust and charcuterie boards with almonds and cheese!
Eat the Taiwanese pancakes with a fried egg together and the sweet and chili sauce!! I grew up in Taiwan and that's the way we eat it!!!!
or maybe try with the spicy honey sauce!?
Yum!
Oh YUM!!

You can put the spicy honey drizzled on a ice cream sundae. Honestly, if you like spicy sweet things, it’s gold.
Got the pimento dip. Weird. It would seem like the dip would be more creamy and the spread thicker. But it’s backwards. I like the dip much better! It’s REALLY good!
I bet the spicy honey would be delicious if you tossed with chicken breast or tofu and air fried it!
So appreciate you doing these hauls.
I put several of your TJ haul items on my list! Love your haul today!
I waited all Tuesday night waiting for your “mini haul”
Sorry to disappoint…life got in the way. I’m sure you understand 🥰
The spicy honey sauce might be really good on cornbread!
Hey Katie - I have an idea for a future video. Would love to see you share some of your best air fryer vegetable recipes. We recently got an air fryer and we are upping our vegetable intake and would love your suggestions! Thanks!
Drizzle the spicy honey on your pizza! I thought it was a crazy idea but it is SO good! If sweet, salty, and spicy is up your alley, give it a go 😊
My Top 5 Uses for the Spicy Honey Sauce:
• Mix with mustard and use on pretzels or as a salmon glaze
• Add sweetness and heat to hot or iced teas (amazing with the Watermelon Mint tea iced, im telling you... thank me later)

I didn't know that you had a new camera. I just thought that you had a special glow today! Looking forward to the taste test!
Awe so sweet, thank you!
Thanks Katie! I thought the video looked different but I couldn't tell why! Hope you love the new camera!
really enjoyed watching the hall and looks like a lot of great new stuff has come in! I'm looking forward to the taste test, big hugs!
I'm curious what the hype for the lite mozz is??
I seriously can't wait for samples to come back at TJs! Any word on that?
Love your hauls as always! ❤️
My pups loved the new dog treats!
Same!
I was excited to get my hands on the spicy honey, looking forward to using it to recreate the Hello Fresh brussel sprouts Flatbread.
Yum!

I did notice your broadcast was much clearer today. Thought it was your make-up. Either that, or you were just naturally glowing more than usual today. Now I’m heading over to watch the taste test. 😃
I cooked and they came out perfect, my partner couldn't tell the difference from getting it from our favorite restaurant versus the TJ version
Yay!!!!! Lite shredded mozzarella 👏🏻🙌🏻👊🏻👯♀️🤸🏼♀️
This is a stock item for me! Yes air fryer for sure. These are delicious with hoisin sauce-also available at TJ's i think. Otherwise any store that carries teriyaki & other oriental sauces will have it.
While the lemon baton cookies are okay, the seasonal Meyer Lemon Biscotti are outstanding, and are due back in this week.
They are back and I had them on my list! Even after I write them down to pick up I still forgot them lol 🤦🏼♀️
The chili honey sauce is good on salmon prepared in the air fryer. Tried it this week!
That was tonight's dinner; used Mike's Hot Honey. I'll need to try the TJ's version✅
I loved the lemon chess pie and will look for it Saturday. Looking forward to your taste test tomorrow especially the treats for your dogs.
I know you are vegetarian but have Tim try the honey on pepperoni pizza. He won’t be sorry! LOL!
Will do, thanks!
Hot honey is soooo good on pizza! Tried it for the first time in Brooklyn years ago and have used it ever since 🤤
I'm so excited that the Ranier cherries are back. That ice cream looks amazing.
So many goodies. If I worked at TJ’s I wouldn’t be coming home with a paycheck lol
Lol right😂😂😂
I can confirm that as a crew member in Massachusetts 😂
I do spend my whole paycheck lol i
Your hair looks really good/cute! Super pretty
Thank you!
The pimento cheese dip with the aloha bread… omg it is heavenly. The Hispanic in me is showing.
Great combo tip, I wouldn’t have thought of it….now I’m going to try it!
I wish they come back with the avocado cucumber body butter. From last summer. Great stuff😁
We don't even have half these new items on the east coast! Cali has it all!
Hot honey on avocado toast…pizza…chicken…anything you want spicy and sweet!

I may be wrong, but the peach ones may have replaced the mango. If the magi do show up I’ll pick them up and show them 😊
@@KatieHespe And the peach ones disappeared after one week at my local TJ's, however I was told it was due to production issues, and they should be back in early August
Do you cut the Brussel sprouts or cook whole in the air fryer ??
I cut them in half and then air fry!
I am HOOKED on the watermelon mint black tea!
Greetings from South OC, CA!
I look forward to your videos, I love Trader Joe's.
Lite cheese? But I thought the process that it takes to make it lite is not as healthy for you as full version?
Can’t wait to see what you think of the porkless rinds. I have tried them and have my opinion
ooh can't wait to try that spicy honey sauce! does anyone know if they discontinued the gluten free pizza dough?
Yay for the Mozz cheese! Have been wondering when and if that would happen
Hot honey on pizza. In my local pizzeria, they have Mike's hot honey for pizza. I've also heard that Ubie will be back next month in the form of mochi!!!!!!
Yes that rumor is true!
I love the spicy honey on my avocado toast!
The red cherries are probably Bing cherries
Can the mozzarella cheese be frozen?
Not totally sure, but it seems like it would be fine.
That ice cream looks AMAZING and dangerous!
Drizzle the hot honey over a pizza with spicy sopressata and black olives!!
Pimento cheese dip is calling my name ❤️
Is there a future video of your vintage TJ's tin collection? :)
I didn't notice the camera, but gave you a thumbs up any way❤️👍❤️👍
Thank you again for another wonderful hall looking forward to the taste test and I will be going to trader Joe's this weekend probably in Chino Hills Southern California
Wow, what a fantastic haul. I’m going tonight. There are so many good items I want to try. I can hardly wait for the test taste tomorrow. 😊
I’m so tempted to try the wildberry cheesecake ice cream. But I’m on a diet. 😔
The yellow bag has milk on the bottom of it!
I miss the apple cider chocolate. The one with 4 chocolate pieces in the box
Great haul but I'm skipping that ice cream ooh too many calories!
I was expecting something more exciting than cheese LOL =)
Haha. Bring back the haberno peppers!
The ice cream is so good.
The pimiento cheese dip/spread they used to have was soooo much better, IMO.
First.. hey Katie
Going this weekend so I'm adding these new things to my list! Thank you!
I'm going to make roasted spicy honey nuts to snack on!
Great assortment of new things. Can't wait for the taste test! Have great weekend!
Awesome haul Katie 😊💖🤗
I feel ya grl..last year our a/c broke when it was 102 and humid here in wichita🥵
Wichita ks?? I’m here too!
Hi. As a staff member do you get a discount at trader joes? I work at Waitrose a supermarket in the uk and we get 20% discount.
Yes we do get a small discount on our groceries.
Looking forward to the taste test
question, when are the samples @ TJ returning?
No idea… haven’t heard anything yet.
Pretty hands, Katie!
I bought that spicy honey sauce too but have no idea how I will use it.
Maybe air fry some wings and drizzle it over them?
I saw the cheesecake cones 🤩I got all 5 boxes left
Loved it
I click as fast as I can😜😜😜
Oh i'm so happy to hear the shredded lite mozzarella is back!!!
I actually didn't notice the difference in the camera
Nice haul👍
