Search “Trader Joe’s” on Instagram, and you’ll be met with a virtually endless list of Trader Joe’s fan accounts. And while many are worth the follow to keep up-to-date on all the new TJ’s products — and the return of cult-favorites — hitting its shelves, others boast unique, delicious recipes that use some of the best TJ’s products (and even products you’ve likely never tried before).
Two IG accounts that quickly come to mind — and that you should immediately search for and follow — are Trader Joe’s Obsessed (@traderjoesobsessed) and Trader Joe’s Kitchen (@traderjoeskitchen). They’re both equally as popular (each have more than 300K followers), and they both share many, many mouthwatering recipes.
Take, for instance, Trader Joe’s Obsessed’s jerk grilled chicken skewers with slaw. This recipe calls for two popular TJ’s items: Jerk Chicken Thigh Skewers with Mango Chutney, and Tahini, Pepita and Apricot Slaw Kit. Essentially, you’re just following the cooking instructions for both of these products, but Obsessed does have a couple tips, including thawing the chutney a half-hour before cooking the skewers and using an air fryer to cook the skewers. The end result? A colorful, flavorful dish you can quickly toss together on a weeknight.

Another simple dish — prepared with Trader Joe’s products — is Trader Joe’s Kitchen’s Birds Nest breakfast dish. For this, Kitchen used Trader Joe’s frozen hash browns, chopped onions, garlic powder, egg, and the ever-so-popular Everything But The Bagel Seasoning.
