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.…
Where my lilikoi fans at?! When I saw Trader Joe's Passion Fruit Rounds in the nut/dried fruit aisle, I thought, "Please, please let them be good." I mean, if you've ever had a passion fruit, you know how small they are, and how you just get maybe 3-4 small scoops of pulp per fruit. But…
It's can't stop-won't stop in the Trader Joe's frozen treat/ice cream section this week. One of the new summer products promised on Inside Trader Joe's landed this week, as did some new canned cocktails for summer entertaining. Let's get to it.
While there are only 45 calories per bar in these Strawberry Lemonade Ice…
With Trader Joe's Grilled Chimichurri Chicken Skewers, it's all about the convenience. Ordinarily I'd make chicken skewers from scratch, but I get the value in not having to plan ahead to marinate the chicken, thread it on skewers and grill it. But then, the recommended reheat method is grilling...so I guess the savings is…
When I heard Trader Joe's S'mores Ice Cream had a graham cracker ice cream flavored base, I thought, Hmh. What does that mean? I couldn't quite imagine what the actual flavor would be. Turns out, it's on the slightly malty side. Which means, Trader Joe's S'mores Ice Cream tastes A LOT like a Wendy's Frosty…
Trader Joe's rolled out 20 new and returning summer items on the latest episode of Inside Trader Joe's. Several are already in stores in my area, so they're undoubtedly in yours, too! Let's get to the list.

After a couple of big weeks, things were pretty quiet at my local Trader Joe's when it comes to new/returning products. I'm still on the lookout for the ube mochi ice cream, but no luck yet. It's ok, I bought some Tillamook strawberry shortcake frozen custard over the weekend and I…
I love that Trader Joe's keeps rolling out pasta shapes you don't see on the reg in American grocery stores. The World's Largest Fusilli, available around the holidays, remains a favorite. But I'm also really liking Trader Joe's Mafalda Corta with its ruffly little edges. They're almost like itty bitty lasagna sheets.
I ended up…
