What’s New at Trader Joe’s (Not Pumpkin) Edition – 9/12/23

Not everybody goes bonkers over fall flavors, so let's do a not-pumpkin What's New at Trader Joe's this week. First up, brigadeiros. I usually associate these little fudgy truffle-like bon bons with Brazil rather than Portugal. I've got a few thawing on the counter now. It says to let them thaw for 2 hours,…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Mini Pumpkin Ginger Scones

When you get a scone at the store, it seems like there's a 75% possibility it'll be dry and chalky. Trader Joe's is solving that problem by serving up ready-to-bake pumpkin ginger scones in its frozen section. I baked up a few this morning for breakfast. And I think these are gonna be one of…

Simple Summer Grilling for Two with Trader Joe’s Grilled Chimichurri Chicken Skewers

We Tried Trader Joe’s Enchanted Jangle

I admit it. The only reason I picked up Trader Joe's Enchanted Jangle was because of the unicorn, rainbow, and pink swirled pink chips. At $4.49 for a 10 oz. bag, it feels a little pricey for what it is, but I couldn't resist. There are five items in the mix: Salted Waffle…
