Trader Joe's track record with Korean food items has been pretty good. Well, at least the frozen items that are product of Korea. Unfortunately, Trader Joe's Korean Style Bibim-Guksu doesn't quite measure up. I'd call it convention center quality. Mid at best. Let's get into it.
To start, it's more snack sized…
So you'll notice a couple things about Trader Joe's updated Margherita Pizza in the freezer section. First is that they've ditched the "Trader Giotto's" branding and inverted the name. The old version was Pizza Margherita, the new one is Margherita Pizza. But in addition to a packaging update, the pizza bones from this…

Have you noticed all the new strawberry-flavored products dropping at Trader Joe's lately? Sour strawberry belts, strawberry doodle cookies, teeny tiny strawberry rhubarb pies? Well, the summer showstopper is here: Trader Joe's Strawberry Mini Sheet Cake.
It's topped with a cream cheese frosting with strawberry puree and speckled with freeze dried strawberry bits. The ones…
It's no secret that I am a big fan of passion fruit (aka lilikoi), so I am loving Trader Joe's being in their Passion Fruit era. From the Passion Fruit Rounds to the Passion Fruit Spindrift to Passion Fruit Meringue Tartlettes, I am all about it. Now, Trader Joe's has added a concentrated punch of…
When it comes to guacamole, I'm more of a classic gal. I like it on the chunkier side with onion, garlic, and lime. So I went in expecting Trader Joe's Spicy Mango Habanero Guacamole to be too sweet. You know how Trader Joe's can be. But it's not. It's got a nice fruitiness to it…
Trader Joe's jumps on the Dubai (Style) Chocolate trend with PatisLove's Pistachio Dark Chocolate version that's $3.99 for a 3.5 oz bar. Made in Turkey, the bar features a pistachio filling with crunchy kataifi (crunchy filo) bits and it's fantastic. I've been whatever about Dubai Chocolate because of the price and the hype, but this…
As we roll into summer, lots of Trader Joe's items are making their annual return. But there's one that's actual cause for celebration. Trader Joe's Patio Potato Chips ARE BACK! A mix of Sea Salt & Vinegar, Dill, Smokin' Sweet BBQ, and Ketchup-flavored chips, they've been a favorite since they launched here in 2019.…

I know we're all focused this week on Monaco, but do not sleep on Ride with Me by Simone Soltani. Out now, the second book in her Lights Out series pairs F1 driver Thomas Maxwell-Brown with baker and entrepreneur extraordinare Stella (Margaux) Baldwin. The two meet up in Vegas…
Recently I picked up Trader Joe's Grilled Chili Lime Chicken in the refrigerated case as a just-in-casers for a night I was only cooking for myself. I used it in a burrito bowl, but it's now one of the stars of a salad I've been eating at least 1-2x a week for lunch. Mostly Trader…
