The Inn on Sweetbriar Lane by Jeannie Chin | Mini Book Review
ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley If you're a fan of small town romance + enemies-to-lovers, Jeannie Chin's The Inn on Sweetbriar Lane by will probably hit all the right notes for you. It's a hit-or-miss trope for me, and in this case, I felt like I'd read it before. All that felt fresh…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Maple Poffertjes (Mini Pancake Puffs)
Cute food alert! I kinda can't resist mini foods, and Trader Joe's Maple Poffertjes, mini Dutch pancake puffs definitely fall into that category. Somewhat similar to Danish aebelskivers, both are cooked in special pans with half-sphere indentations.

We Tried Trader Joe’s Apple Cider Marinated Pork Loin
Trader Joe's Apple Cider Marinated Pork Loin is a great way to welcome fall. I only regret that I didn't grab a jar of applesauce or the pineapple fruit spread.

But if you've never had it before, or you don't have an Asian or Korean market near you to buy sweet potato noodles, Trader Joe's Japchae isn't bad. First up, it's in the frozen section. I…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese Bites
I hit two Trader Joe's today in search of new fall items. First stop had almost nothing out yet, just pumpkin waffles, canned pumpkin, frozen spaghetti squash spirals, and the new pumpkin overnight mask. Kind of a bust - the FOMO is real! So I hit up another location at lunch, and they were still…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bites

Are Trader Joe’s Veggie Bites Amazing or Just Alright?
I had high hopes for Trader Joe's Veggie Bites. I love veggie fritters, I love tater tots, and what, we can have both in one little tot package? I even finally got an air fryer, so I figured that was gonna give them their best shot at deliciousness. The ingredient list is pretty clean…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Chocolate Mochi Cake
Trader Joe's took the hint when lots of people doctored up their Mochi Cake Mix last year with cocoa. It's something locals in Hawaii, and Japanese / Japanese Americans have made for decades. Now, TJ's is back with Trader Joe's Chocolate Mochi Cake Mix with Peanut Butter Frosting. Gluten-free friends, you are gonna be…
