Trader Joe's Uncured Hot Dogs

[kadi]

Anyone tried these? I saw them in the flyer--says they're a mix of pork & beef, no nitrates or phosphates...

[Janie Miranda]

Wow! Why can't we have a Trader Joe's? I'm jealous! I would kill for a hot dog this weekend!

Sounds great! Guess I'll head over there today some time.

I didn't know Ic couldn't have hot dogs I had some last night with my pasta salad hmm maybe it wasn't the zesty italian dressong gave me the flare after all maybe it was the hot dogs.

Uh, oh. Sorry, just got back from Trader Joe's. The hot dogs don't have nitrates or preservatives, but unfortunately DO have mustard & paprika in them. :toilet:

Oh, well. :headbang:

I did find though that TJ's has 100% blueberry juice, which is delicious iced. I tried it 1/4 blueberry juice to 3/4 water + ice. No bladder problem--and it's a very nice summery drink! Of course I'm so paranoid because they discontinued my pear juice, I bought 6 bottles of the blueberry!

Enjoy!

I have blueberry juice and have been afraid to try it. That sounds good....on ice...may have to give it a shot.

Can anyone else list IC friendly foods they've tried from Trader Joes? I haven't been to their store yet, but I'm looking forward to maybe finding more foods I can eat!

Kadi hit many of the hightlights TJ's carries. I would like to add just a few more items.

Kettle lightly salted potato chips

Puff pastry cookies
Peeled and cubed butternut squash
Squash soup
Canned 99% fat-free chicken broth (no preservatives, msg or onions)

Love their frozen French green beans (thin string beans...not French-Cut)
Also love the blueberry juice and use it to make blueberry gelatin with pears in it
