We Tried Trader Joe’s Peanuts for Chocolate Ice Cream
With all the ice cream and popsicles TJ's put out this summer, I've lagged on getting around to Trader Joe's Peanuts for Chocolate Ice Cream. And my freezer is pretty full. But, here we go!

We Tried Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coffee BBQ Sauce
As coffee barbecue sauces go, Homesick Texan's recipe has always been my favorite. It sets a high bar with a nice kick and some smoke from the chipotle and good, but not overwhelming coffee flavor.

We Tried Trader Joe’s Cheese Empanadas with Cassava Crust
I had high hopes for Trader Joe's Cheese Empanadas with Cassava Crust. I've had muffins and other things made with cassava flour and there were no weird textural issues at all. But, these did not go well at all for me. The instructions give you two options -- conventional oven or airfryer. I baked…
