DAAAAD!! Mom's Feeding Us Seaweed Again!

You all know I like fruits and vegetables.  Probably more than the average person.  I've always been that way.  Anyhow, I'm laying the foundation here for my new favorite snack.  Because you are really going to think I've lost my marbles over this one.  I can't seem to stop!  I absolutely love Trader Joe's Roasted Seaweed Snack.  You can eat the entire bag (which is 2 servings) in just 60 calories.  I apologize for the smears on my pictures.  Apparently little fingers got ahold of the camera.
 

Cort said, "NO WAY.  Get that green stuff outta here".  Reid, who eats anything, said, "Mmm, tasty"

Huh.  Turned out he liked it.

Uh oh.  He really likes it. And we don't have a Trader Joes anywhere close - it's a 3 hour drive!
I really didn't want to share all of my roasted seaweed.

The only drawback is that it does tend to get stuck in your teeth in funny ways...
Do you have a snack that you love that's a little bit off the beaten path of normal?

    ick! don't like the fishiness of seaweed! so unless they roast it out of there, i won't raid your stash...

    no odd snacks here. at least none i can think of off-hand.

    Okay, I'm officially going to start worrying about you! Haha! That just looks nasty, Lisa. I think I'll pass.

    Oh, and Oreo has 100 calorie packs. Just sayin... :)

    We have a Trader Joe's near John's Dr. in Atlanta about an hour away. I love to walk thru and browse at all the good stuff! I have not tried this yet. The boys' expressions are priceless!

    it looks good to me. it reminds me of the seaweed they wrap around chinese crackers.

    i want to try it.

    send some to me. but not the one that cort spit out. i want a new piece.

    I've had other interesting things from Trader Joe's-but never their roasted seaweed. I've had their chocolate covered raspberry bit things. Those are very good too.

    A certain husband in this house-I won't name names, likes to eat a piece of cheddar cheese covered with peanut butter for a snack.

    I've never tried that either...but he swears it's really good!

    I was good up until the "stuck in your teeth" part. We like Tofu on rice cakes and people are pretty weirded out by that.

    Hahaha! I love that Reid enjoyed them, too! Cort has that "You must be JOKING!" look on his face!

    You know, I would try those things, just to see what they taste like. I mean, I eat sushi with the non-roasted "fresh" stuff, right? But we don't have a TJs near us, either. The closest one just opened up near my parents (about 130 miles away).

    I love the pictures. We don't have any crazy snacks, but I've been meaning to try a couple things--roasted Kale and roasted chick peas. I'm a little skeptical of both, but I hear they are tasty. :)

    I'm sad we don't have Trader Joes.

    I'm not surprised at all that Reid likes the seaweed. No matter how it tastes, it's got to be better than the poisonous items he favors!! Our nearest Trader Joes is in Short Pump, about an hour and ten minutes away. Is that the one you are referring to? I just got back from there last night. How did you get the seaweed? The last picture is a scream!

    Really? Roasted seaweed? I think I'd give it a taste.

  17. DiannaJuly 30, 2011 at 3:17 PM

    I think I would tend to agree with Cort. Yuk. Although I really shouldn't say that since I've never tried roasted seawood. How's about I just take Cort's word for it!?
    I don't really have any strange snacks. But I do love Emerald Cinnamon Roast almonds. Yum.

    Well if those little guys say it's good, then it must taste OK.
    A favorite snack I like is Stergings Potato chips. But I can only get them when I go back to Iowa.

    That sounds pretty good. It kind of looks like a fruit rollup. I'll have to try that. I wonder if you can buy it online :)

    Gravlax. It's a salmon dish thing. Thankfully I live in the Pacific Northwest so I have lots of fresh salmon .. and the whole chef thing - some pretty good gravlax recipes.
    I also like roasted chard. Throw on a little seasoning and they're better than chips - love em!

    We have tons of seaweed all over here, but I can't say I like it.
