So many times Trader Joe's has done us dirty on the Japanese food front (the karaage is the most offensive of the bunch). But the Japanese Soufflé Cheesecake that rolled out this week is pretty solid for frozen. And at $3.29 for a package of 2? It's a no-brainer.
The package calls for…
The one downside of Trader Joe's frozen croissants is that you have to remember to proof them overnight. With Trader Joe's Mini Croissant Swirls, they're giving you a READY-TO-BAKE backup plan. While not exactly the same texture as a full size croissant, you still get the flakiness of croissant dough with good quality chocolate in…
Meat and potatoes is a classic combo nearly the world over. And with Trader Joe's Papas Rellenas, TJ's is serving up a Latin American take in the form of mashed potato croquettes stuffed with seasoned ground beef. It's then rolled in bread crumbs and fried for a crunchy outside. All you need is 20 minutes…
Can I tell you how surprised I was by Trader Joe's Spicy Meat Pizza? Meat Lovers generally isn't my go-to (I like vegetables, what can I say?), but after popping this one out of the box and seeing the cornicione, the nice ridge on that crust, I was like, Hmh! Let's get it into the…
In the aftermath of Valentine's Day only a few new items seemed to roll in last week, but I stopped in after a dentist appointment today and there were plenty of new and returning items to chuck into my basket. As spotted in the Pacific Northwest.
NEW:
I've got the oven preheating for Trader…
I had high hopes for Trader Joe's Chocolate Cheesecake Bites ($4.99). But with cheesecake, texture is everything. It can be thick and dense New York-style or on the creamier side. Trader Joe's comes in more toward the creamy side with a verrrrrrrrrry crumbly chocolate cookie crust. (If you have a pup who monitors you while…
Coconut fans, Trader Joe's is hooking us up with a super tasty air fryer-friendly dessert. Trader Joe's Thai Coconut Pancakes, or Kanom Krok, is a Thai street food that's usually cooked in a domed pan, similar to a takoyaki or aebelskiver pan. Made with coconut milk and rice flour, the centers cook up to a…
If you're looking for a side dish to go with Trader Joe's Middle Eastern Style kebabs (koobideh), Trader Joe's new pilaf is a pretty decent option. Trader Joe's Chicken, Lentil and Caramelized Onion pilaf ($4.49) is flavored with saffron, cinnamon and cumin and cooks up pretty quick in the microwave. It's similar to something we…
Trader Joe's is unstoppable right now when it comes to frozen section desserts. You've got holiday standbys like the Peppermint Hold the Cones (though it sounds like they're already done for the season in some places), and Peppermint Joe-Joe ice cream. But the three standouts for me right now are:
Trader Joe's Mini…
In the midst of all the holiday hoopla, Trader Joe's just rolled out its version of Beef Bulgogi. You'll remember they've offered a vegan version for awhile. The vegan version was good in tacos, so my hopes were high for Trader Joe's Beef Bulgogi, especially because it clocks in at $12.99. And while prices are…
