I usually try to follow the directions the first time I make something. But I threw that out the window with Trader Joe's No Bake Nut Butter Bar Mix ($3.49 per box). It's already a Choose Your Own Adventure where you can pick your favorite nut butter and either maple syrup or honey as…

PARADISE COVE, book two in Jenny Holiday's Matchmaker Bay series, starts like a lot of small town stories. A big city doctor escapes to small town for a slower pace and cheaper cost of living and falls for a hunky local. But Holiday elevates the trope in a…
Ok, Technically it's a Non-dairy Frozen Dessert
Most oat milks taste too oaty for me. But Trader Joe's has done pretty well with its oat milk products, especially the refrigerated non-dairy oat beverage. You can add Trader Joe's Oat Milk Strawberry Ice Cream to that list of hits, not even a hint of oaty-ness. …

Lush...dreamy...magical. If you're looking for an escape this summer, VANESSA YU is truly it.
It's really not fair when a book has its best descriptor in the actual title, but VANESSA YU's MAGICAL PARIS TEA SHOP truly is magical. As with Natalie Tan's Book of Luck…
If you're a fan of Peach Tea Snapple, you're gonna wanna pick up Trader Joe's Sparkling Black Tea with Peach Juice. It joins TJ's already delicious lineup of sparkling juices and sodas -- Watermelon, Strawberry, Coconut Water with Yuzu. They've just gotten better and better over time. (I wasn't into the Hibiscus Lemongrass Sparkling Beverage).…

Break out the tissue box! I ripped through Dear Emmie Blue by Lia Louis in a day.
At turns charming and devastatingly sad, it follows Emmie Blue, a teenager who released a balloon with her email address on a card and found a friend an ocean away.…
Trader Joe's just can't help itself when it comes to cauliflower. But where people looooooove the Cauliflower Gnocchi, and the Cauliflower Thins are interesting, I don't think Trader Joe's Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeño Dip is going to set any records. It's true that cauliflower is the first ingredient, but I don't actually know what it's doing…
It's a Whopper of a Release Week
While everything looks different this year, one thing remains the same: there's a crop of summer reads ready to whisk you away. Even if you're just taking a staycation, take a trip back in time with these historical romances available now or coming in July. If a contemporary…
A few years ago, Trader Joe's got itself into a little bit of trouble for creating a cookie similar to Pepperidge Farm Milanos. So when you go grab a can of Trader Joe's Saddle Potato Crisps ($1.49 per can), make sure you don't call them Pringles. But taste-wise, they're basically Pringles.
You know that…
