Things were a little quiet over the July 4 week (there were only a couple of new items, not even enough for a post), but Trader Joe's is back in full force. Let's get a look at what's new (and returning) this week, as spotted in the Pacific Northwest.
NEW: CARROT MINI SHEET CAKE…
We got a theme for What's New and Returning at Trader Joe's this week. It's all about the "P's" -- popsicles, popcorn, and pink! Plus a few extras. So let's get into what we spotted in the Pacific Northwest.
Just in time for the long weekend, Trader Joe's stocked its freezers with allllllll the POPSICLES.…
Garlic and Asiago was a dip I could I pass up. But when I saw Hatch Chile & Jalapeño Cheese, Trader Joe's was speakin' my language. It's $4.99 for a 10 oz. package. And it's just heat and eat. My store suggested crackers on the shelf tag (for reals?!). They'd be fine, but for me,…
Although Hatch Chile Season seems to mark the end of summer, it's still one of my favorite times of year. I debate whether or not to buy a 25 lb. case and then inevitably cave and do it. It sounds like a lot, but once you've roasted them and packed them into freezer bags, you'll…
We're right in the sweet spot of chile season. We're a couple of weeks in on Hatch chile roasting; Anaheims, poblanos, jalapenos and serranos are plentiful at the farmers market, and we're eating chile every way possible. It's funny though, spicy food isn't really part of Seattle's DNA, and yet all the supermarkets only got…
When it comes to chiles, “Red or Green?” doesn’t have to black and white. There’s really no bad answer. With Hatch Chile season just getting underway, green will be your first thought. Roasters are being fired up across the country and it’s time to order up a case of fresh green chiles to squirrel away…
I worked in a bagel shop in college and one of the things I loved most was the chicken salad. Pizza bagels were right up there. But, I know, what? Chicken salad was far ---- and i mean faaaaaaaaar ---- from the most ordered item on the menu. I mean, I don't really order tuna…
The gas burners are just flaming on under tumbling piles of green chiles and already I’m in overdrive. Every year as chile season rolls around, it’s a new challenge. What can I put green chile in this year? My first answer this year: Zucchini Green Chile Fritters.
If you’ve got a garden, or a neighbor with…
Dust off your Pinterest boards from last summer, it's Hatch Chile time again.
This year's green chile season feels like it's coming on early, but maybe it's just my imagination. I picked up my first batch of Anaheims at our farmers market last weekend -- in July! If you're jonesing for a green chile fix, Hatch roasting events…
Peeling back the wrapper on a can of refrigerator biscuits and thwacking it against the edge of the counter takes me back to childhood. I’m not talking about the big flaky layer biscuits, I’m talking the cheapest ones – the skinny tube of “homestyle” or “buttermilk” refrigerator biscuits that come 10 to a can. I’ll eat them every which way, but not as baked biscuits. Most of the time, I plunk them on top of Chunky Chicken Noodle soup and let them steam up in a shortcut version of chicken and dumplings. It’s comfort food from childhood that still hits the spot to this day if I’m not feeling great.
