[I am FINALLY going to TJ's as soon as Morgan wakes up from her nap, so it seemed a good day to post this. Two food posts in a row is too much? Sorry, but I don't think so.]
Because, judging off the comments my Trader Joe’s post received, we have some folks out there who love TJ’s as much as I do, I thought I’d share one of my favorites. There are many, of course, but because no one mentioned these it seemed really more like a public service to show you these:
They claim to be mini croissants, but they’re a pretty good size once they rise. See, they start out all small like this
You let them rise overnight and in the morning they look like this:
Then you cook them for about 30 minutes (and don’t overcook them like I did a little) and they’ll look like this:
They are really good, seriously. They’re flaky without leaving that gross layer of gunk feeling on the top of your mouth like cheap croissants can do. Please tell me you know what I’m talking about and I don’t sound totally crazy.
Anyway, I think it’s $3.99 for the pack of 8–or the same price for a pack of four pains au chocolat, which we haven’t tried yet. It’s not a bad price, because you just have to trust me that they taste really good. We don’t have them all the time, but I love them for a super easy treat breakfast.
