It's a light week for What's New at Trader Joe's. But at long last, the Hold the Dairy Salted Caramel mini cones landed! I liked the original chocolate version a lot, so I have high hopes for these. The Salted Caramel ice cream is rice beverage-based (versus coconut in the chocolate version). And interestingly, they're…
I've been on the lookout for the non-dairy Salted Caramel Hold the Cones, but they haven't turned up yet at my local. In the meantime, let's take a look at what's new at Trader Joe's this week (as spotted in the Pacific Northwest).
UNEXPECTED CHEDDAR CHEESE SPREAD WITH HATCH CHILES -- If you're a chilehead…
I'm not gonna string you along. Trader Joe's Chicken Karaage ($6.49 per 18.97 oz. bag) doesn't measure up as either karaage or chicken nuggets/fingers. Before we get to the taste test, let's take a look at Trader Joe's version on its own. So, the bag does say it's Japanese-inspired, leaving some room for variation.…

Check back on Monday, August 7 for our take on Trader Joe's Japanese-Inspired Chicken Karaage. Now available in the freezer section ($6.49 per bag). We're doing a taste test versus Shirakiku Chicken Karaage.
In the meantime, check out some other chicken nugget reviews:

One of Trader Joe's big flavors this summer is S'mores. We've seen it in the super popular S'mores Clusters and the S'mores Ice Cream. They've added one more riff on this summer favorite with Trader Joe's S'mores Bars in the freezer section.

Trader Joe's is batting a thousand when it comes to vegan ravioli. I thought the spinach and cashew version was great. And they've got another winner on their hands with Trader Joe's Vegan Italian Bolognese Ravioli. The filling is lentil and mushroom-based with sun dried tomato in the mix, so it's packing a good…
I know lots of people are gearing up for spooky season, but I'm still fully about summer. And so is Trader Joe's apparently, with the handful of new items hitting shelves this week. First up, S'mores Bars.
In the frozen section, these bars feature a brownie layer with a graham cracker curst and marshmallow…
What makes madeleines great is that they're so simple. Buttery, eggy little shell-shaped cakes. (They're not cookies). And Trader Joe's makes pretty decent ones. I'll usually go for a bag of the lemon ones they have in the spring. Now they've come out with a gluten-free version. Upfront, we're not a gluten-free household, but I…

It's been a summer of solid reads so far, but this is the week my TBR really starts to…
When Trader Joe's revealed Lemon Pesto as one of their upcoming summer products, I just assumed it would be in the refrigerated section. But as you can see, it's not. It's shelf stable. If you're a home cook who usually has lemons and parm (or Pecorino Romano) around, this product probably won't be for you.…
