We Tried Trader Joe’s Al Pastor Diced Pork Shoulder

Taco Tuesday ended up being on Thursday last week after Trader Joe's rolled out their new Al Pastor (inspired) Diced Pork Shoulder. Real deal al pastor is of course cooked and shaved off a trompa, so we're considering this one "inspired." And it's pretty good. The meat is indeed diced (it's hard to tell…

We Tried Trader Joe’s (Korean) Potato Cheese Sticks

The thing about Trader Joe's calling these Potato Cheese Sticks is, it's probably to be more accurate for food labeling.

We Tried Trader Joe’s New Salted Caramel Mochi Ice Cream

Trader Joe's latest mochi ice cream flavor is Salted Caramel. And I gotta tell ya, after the abomination that was Caramel Apple, I came into this tasting cautiously optimistic.

Can we talk about Trader Joe's new Jambalaya in the frozen section ($5.49 for a 16 oz. bag)? I made it for a quick lunch today, just tossed one serving in the microwave after I quickly sauteed some kale with garlic and cajun seasoning. And you know what? I really liked it! Now, this…
