We Tried Trader Joe’s Spring Rolls with Tofu

There's a Shrimp Version, Too Summer rolls, spring rolls, fresh rolls, whatever you call them, they're delish. Trader Joe's Spring Rolls come in two varieties: tofu and shrimp.

Trader Joe’s New Hatch Chile Cheese Dip. It’s Gonna Be a Problem.

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,…
