Can I tell you how surprised I was by Trader Joe's Spicy Meat Pizza? Meat Lovers generally isn't my go-to (I like vegetables, what can I say?), but after popping this one out of the box and seeing the cornicione, the nice ridge on that crust, I was like, Hmh! Let's get it into the…
In the aftermath of Valentine's Day only a few new items seemed to roll in last week, but I stopped in after a dentist appointment today and there were plenty of new and returning items to chuck into my basket. As spotted in the Pacific Northwest.
NEW:
I've got the oven preheating for Trader…
With the way seasonal products have been flying off the shelves at Trader Joe's, I thought we should try to get ahead of St. Patrick's Day. Of course, St. Paddy's is less about gift giving and candy, but TJ's will soon stock a bunch of items you might want to be on the lookout…

History with a dash of mystery that holds a mirror up to life in 1906 San Francisco as it actually was. The Phoenix Crown is a page turner with richly drawn characters. And it's another great example of how powerful adding another lens on history can be. …
Heists, history, and lady gangsters! Ever heard of Alice Diamond? She was a crime boss who led The Forty Elephants, a notorious all lady shoplifting ring in 1920s London. Sarah MacLean has said her Hell's Belles series was loosely inspired by The Forty Elephants. I've been lowkey obsessed with Alice Diamond and the Forty Elephants…
I had high hopes for Trader Joe's Chocolate Cheesecake Bites ($4.99). But with cheesecake, texture is everything. It can be thick and dense New York-style or on the creamier side. Trader Joe's comes in more toward the creamy side with a verrrrrrrrrry crumbly chocolate cookie crust. (If you have a pup who monitors you while…
If you need a bright burst of winter sunshine, grab a pint of Trader Joe's Calamansi & Mango Sorbet. Calamansi is a Filipino citrus, whose flavor is sometimes described as a mix of lime, lemon, and orange. I didn't grow up with calamansi, but here it's generally citrusy with a very slight bitterness, like you'd…
Here's a look at what's new at Trader Joe's this week as spotted in the PNW. Many of the items featured in the latest Fearless Flyer are starting to roll in. Despite many people turning over a new leaf after indulging over the holidays, there are a lot of desserts in this week's roundup. …
There's a Shrimp Version, Too
Summer rolls, spring rolls, fresh rolls, whatever you call them, they're delish. Trader Joe's Spring Rolls come in two varieties: tofu and shrimp. But because I was a little leery about shrimp, I went with the tofu version. Two to a package for $5.49, they come with a cashew dipping…
Coconut fans, Trader Joe's is hooking us up with a super tasty air fryer-friendly dessert. Trader Joe's Thai Coconut Pancakes, or Kanom Krok, is a Thai street food that's usually cooked in a domed pan, similar to a takoyaki or aebelskiver pan. Made with coconut milk and rice flour, the centers cook up to a…
