We Tried Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Yellow Mini Sheet Cake
with Chocolate Frosting! I've been on alert for Trader Joe's Yellow Mini Sheet Cake with chocolate frosting after seeing u/aswewaltz posted it in NY on Reddit 8 days ago. Every trip, I was disappointed. But today...finally... TJ's in the PNW have been blessed with the new gluten free sheet cake. So let's cut into it!…
We Tried Trader Joe’s Teriyaki Mushroom Mini Bao Buns
I was skeptical when I saw that Trader Joe's newest dumpling was teriyaki-flavored. Teriyaki in a bao? I imagined a gloopy super sweet soy-based sauce overwhelming the veg filling. But now that I've tried Trader Joe's Teriyaki Mushroom Mini Bao Buns? I think it's meant to be more of a shorthand toward a sweet,…

Skillet Diner – Capitol Hill

Summer is high time for road construction in the Pacific Northwest. Almost every weekend it seems there’s at least one major closure in Seattle– the bridges, key exits downtown, something. But one of the good things about Labor Day weekend is no planned road closures! And it was a long weekend, so I thought it was about time we got down to the bricks and mortar outpost of Skillet in Capitol Hill for a little brekky.

It’s modern diner fare with an all day breakfast & lunch menu on a quiet corner in Capitol Hill, incidentally next door to Marjorie. So those of us who first fell for Skillet because of their burgers with bacon jam, gorgonzola and arugula, you can get that, but they’ve also got a breakfast menu that covers all the bases — from a scramble to griddle cakes to pork belly with a cornmeal waffle. I mean hey, if chicken and waffles is good, why not pork belly? The egg on it was overkill for me, but maybe I’m a purist.


In addition to the usual coffee, orange juice and soda, Skillet also does a daily fruit fresca, which on our visit was strawberry, celery and basil. Delish. Prices for breakfast entrees range from $8-12 and service was friendly and efficient. Overall a good experience and we’ll be back to try a few other things on the menu — like that fried chicken sammy and maybe the Wednesday pot roast special.
