Trader Joe's Chickpea and Red Lentil risoni offers orzo lovers a legume-based alternative ($2.99 for a 10.58 oz box). I've been meaning to try Banza's chickpea-based pasta out of curiosity but haven't gotten around to it. So this was our first go with a legume-based stand-in.
Risoni made with chickpeas and red lentils offers…
It's been a little while since I've done a Kindle deals round up, but this month we've got five books in romance or contemporary fiction you can't (shouldn't!) pass up! Many of these authors have new books coming out this Spring, and these deals are a great chance to catch up on their back…

HEARTLAND by Sarina Bowen takes us back to Vermont to catch up with Dylan Shipley and his neighbor Chastity, who we first met in Keepsake (True North #3). Both are in college at the University…

It's true that Jenny Holiday's latest has a very G-rated contemporary fic cover. Mermaid Inn rolls along in PG/PG-13 territory for a good while, but this second chance, friends-to-lovers romance eventually takes a hard left into R territory, and I couldn't be happier.

Last Year's Number One Unseated by a New Fave
Trader Joe's 11th Annual Customer Choice Awards winners were previewed on its latest Inside Trader Joe's podcast. Several customer favorites remained in the top 5, including dark chocolate peanut butter cups and Unexpected Cheddar. But perennial favorite Mandarin Orange Chicken was unseated by a new #1…
Trader Joe's Protein Patties are hitting stores now. Teased back in September, Trader Joe's meatless burger is made with pea protein and comes in a package of two for $4.49. I fired up the grill in the rain yesterday (yes, for one burger) and pan fried the other. Here's the verdict.
Upfront, we're omnivores at…
Enemies-to-Lovers Between Two Morning Show Presenters in London -- YES PLEASE.
Filled with great banter, ridiculous morning show antics and romance that develops at just the right pace, I fell in love with HEADLINERS by Lucy Parker straight away.
Sabrina and Nick end up paired on a network morning show after Nick gets caught on…
Trader Joe's Coconut Crispy Rolls are super addictive ($1.99 for 2.82 oz box). There's not a lot to them - it's just like, coconut milk, eggs, black sesame, tapioca starch.
In Thailand, they're called thong muan and they're made on hot presses, almost like Italian pizzelles. They have the texture of French pirouline cookies.…
I love a good bingeable TV series as much as the next couch potato, but it's not something we usually see in publishing. And honestly, publishers would rather you buy the books as they come out, rather than waiting for all the books in a series to be available. But if your TBR is already…
Asian food products seem to be a bit of a mixed bag at Trader Joe's. They either do great, or disappear after several months. Remember when TJ's carried kimchi (it was basic, but good) or refrigerated rice noodles (they were terrible) ? Or even last year's mochi cake mix. People seemed to like it,…
