Trader Joe’s wake up and start sending today’s guest fat checks! Kelly and Lizz welcome guest Annalisa from one of their favorite Instagram Accounts @traderjoes5itemsorless for a little interview, great eight, and an epic ditch the drive-through.

In short, this episode is brimming with ‘fan behavior’, which is today’s millennial word of the day.

→ Attention Trader Joe’s fans and Nissan Rogue drivers! In honor of our guest today it’s your turn to hop on over to Apple Podcasts and leave a review. 

Kelly and Lizz ask Annalisa all of the most important questions about her viral Instagram account including: what got her cooking, where she gets her inspiration, and which items she LOVES (those might just be the Vegan Tzatziki sauce and Kung Pao Chicken) and which item she’s still not over Trader Joe’s discontinuing. Lizz shares her grocery hubby shopping hack and the trio brainstorms the introduction of recipes with a couple more ingredients. Six-Ingredient Saturday, anyone?

Annalisa has approved today’s Trader Joe’s great eight and she’s got a recipe in store for (almost) every item on the list: microwavable jasmine rice, dark chocolate peanut butter cups, frozen meatballs, the burger sauce, hash brown patties, frozen, roasted potatoes, gorgonzola gnocchi, and chimichurri sauce. Which one is a unanimous win? Listen in to find out.

A Carpool exclusive ditch the drive-through from Annalise includes a delicious filet of salmon and fiocchetti with pink sauce from the Trader Joe’s freezer. Check out a few of Kelly, Lizz, and Annalise’s other favorite recipes to get you out of your dinner rut and round out your menu this week: the viral Braised Beef Roast with Demi-Glaze, Crock-Pot Chicken Curry, Curry Chicken Meatballs, Argentinian Shrimp Tacos, Garlic Sauce (click for a recipe using this ingredient), Soy-aki Sauce (click for a recipe using this ingredient).
