We Tried Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coffee BBQ Sauce

As coffee barbecue sauces go, Homesick Texan's recipe has always been my favorite. It sets a high bar with a nice kick and some smoke from the chipotle and good, but not overwhelming coffee flavor.

We Tried Trader Joe’s Cold Brew and Boba Non-Dairy Dessert

Remember how amazed I was about the Oat Milk Strawberry Ice Cream Trader Joe's came out with last year? So unbelievably creamy for a vegan ice cream! Well, I'll just break it to you now, Trader Joe's Cold Brew and Boba Ice Cream (ok, it's non-dairy) isn't as creamy. But! I still really liked it.…

As his diet shifted from calorie restricted to training, one of the most surprising transformations is that his palate seems to have changed as well.
