Trader Joe's Yellow Mini Shake lid off
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!…
Trader Joe's Teriyaki Mushroom Mini Bao Buns bag with bao on a red steamer basket
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,…

Tasty AF: Trader Joe’s Caesar Broccoli Bake Kit

Tasty AF: Trader Joe’s Caesar Broccoli Bake Kit

Trader Joe’s Caesar Broccoli Bake ($4.99) is another one of these rebadged Taylor Farms items you can find at some other grocery stores. I can’t say I’ve seen it in my area other than at TJ’s, but if you google, you might find it at another store. Either way, it just might be one of my FAVORITE items they’ve put on shelves this year. No, seriously.


In the bag, you get broccoli florets, a packet of Caesar dressing, a couple of tablespoons of shredded parmesan cheese, and some breadcrumb “croutons.” Toss the broccoli with a little olive oil (as directed on the bag) and 3/4 of the dressing. Bake on parchment for 15-20 minutes until golden. Add the cheese and breadcrumbs and bake for 2 minutes more. Voilá!

You’re supposed to drizzle with the remaining dressing, but for me, it didn’t need it. (And hey, less calories). Skipping it also lets the breadcrumbs and browned cheese stay crispy. As usual the broccoli shrinks down with roasting, so for us, this fed 2 adults. We like vegetables.

I don’t know what it is about it, but like, why is this so tasty?! Maybe it’s the roasted broccoli along with the texture of the breadcrumbs along with the golden brown crispy cheese. But man, it’s tasty AF!

I don’t keep store-bought Caesar dressing in the house, but if you do, Trader Joe’s Caesar Broccoli Bake Kit will be easy to copy and make in bigger volume. At first, I was like $5 a bag seems a little steep, but if you’re just cooking for one person, I love the convenience factor here. Would definitely buy it again.
