In a New York Minute stands out in this Spring's rom-com lineup with an unforgettable meet disaster, a great friend group, and opposites attract tropey goodness. It's an ode to NYC…
We finally finally got Trader Joe's Cacio e Pepe Puffs. Made with corn and rice like the Jalapeño seasoned version, I think these might actually be crunchier and less airy. They're definitely less styrofoam-like than the jalapeño. And I thought I was gonna love them.
The cheese isn't too in your face, and some…
Trader Joe's French Chocolate Crepe Wafer Cookies are a really effective way to get chocolate into your face. The crepe layers are seriously so thin and crunchy. And wrapped, dare I say, enrobed(?) in milk chocolate? Delicious.
There are three cookies stacked in each compartment for a total of 21. A few on the…
So far, I've been super impressed with all of Trader Joe's oat milk based frozen desserts. From the Strawberry Ice Cream with Almonds to last summer's fudgesicles, I mean, they have been top notch. Creamy texture, good flavors, not too oaty. So the bar has been set pretty high. Trader Joe's Oat Milk Ice…
This is as close as I've been able to get to the meat burrito from Tito's in Culver City, California. I've had it written down in an old personal cookbook for more than a decade. I think it was originally on some listserv or other. Not sure who credit goes to...but it's delicious!

In Homicide and Halo-Halo, we're back in Shady Palms just months after book 1. Lila, our amateur sleuth, is just about to open the Brew-Ha Cafe with her bestie. And she's been asked…
I'm warning you now. Trader Joe's Chocolate Dipped Bamba are addictive. Do not sit on the couch, at your desk, in the car, anywhere, with a bag open beside you. It's dangerous. After the first two I thought, these are fine. Not as good as the hazelnut chocolate filled ones, but at least the bag…
I rolled into Trader Joe's today hoping they'd have the Heart Macarons, but no dice. Instead, I got a bag of Trader Joe's Peanut Butter Cocoa Marshmallows and some chocolate-dipped Bamba (review to come). Both are great fast snacks for the upcoming big game between the Bengals and the Rams.
If you need a…
If you make kalua pork on the regular, I don't think you'll be particularly impressed with Trader Joe's Kalua Pork Spring Rolls. I mean, they're fine. Not great, not bad, just...fine. The air fryer crisps them up really well...but mostly they made me wish Trader Joe's would go back to carrying standard spring rolls.
