Can Trader Joe’s Chicken Nuggets Beat Applegate?

When I first saw Trader Joe's Organic Chicken Nuggets on Reddit, I thought, hmh, could they beat my favorite Aoplegate? Now I know people swear the Just Bare ones at Costco are the way to go, but I'm the only one who eats them and I don't need a bag that huge. First up,…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Cacio e Pepe Puffs

We finally finally got Trader Joe's Cacio e Pepe Puffs. Made with corn and rice like the Jalapeño seasoned version, I think these might actually be crunchier and less airy. They're definitely less styrofoam-like than the jalapeño. And I thought I was gonna love them. The cheese isn't too in your face, and some…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Trio of Almonds

With the avalanche of holiday goodies hitting Trader Joe's shelves right now, I bet you missed Trader Joe's Trio of Almonds. I mean, next to the Nuts About Rosemary mix, or even the Spicy Snack Mix in the red can, it'd be easy to bypass this plain brown can. But let me tell you, this…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese Bites

I hit two Trader Joe's today in search of new fall items. First stop had almost nothing out yet, just pumpkin waffles, canned pumpkin, frozen spaghetti squash spirals, and the new pumpkin overnight mask. Kind of a bust - the FOMO is real! So I hit up another location at lunch, and they were still…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bites

When I first saw Trader Joe's Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bites I wondered if I could fool myself into believing they were really little donuts. I threw them in the air fryer, preheated to 400F and air fried them for 10 minutes. When they came out with a nice crackly crust dusted with cinnamon.sugar, I…

Are Trader Joe’s Veggie Bites Amazing or Just Alright?

I had high hopes for Trader Joe's Veggie Bites. I love veggie fritters, I love tater tots, and what, we can have both in one little tot package? I even finally got an air fryer, so I figured that was gonna give them their best shot at deliciousness. The ingredient list is pretty clean…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Carolina Gold BBQ Chips

Go for the Gold, ya'll! Sorry, gotta use the Olympics puns while I can. But seriously, I've been waiting for Trader Joe's Carolina Gold BBQ Chips since they talked about them on the Inside Trader Joe's podcast.

We Tried Trader Joe’s Cheese Empanadas with Cassava Crust

I had high hopes for Trader Joe's Cheese Empanadas with Cassava Crust. I've had muffins and other things made with cassava flour and there were no weird textural issues at all. But, these did not go well at all for me. The instructions give you two options -- conventional oven or airfryer. I baked…
