Orange is not typically my go-to flavor. And in most desserts it's whatever, take-it-or-leave-it for me. But blood orange is something special. There's something about that slightly berry note in it, maybe? So Trader Joe's Blood Orange mochi ice cream? Into the basket it goes!
For me, the ice cream is somewhere between sherbet…
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!…
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,…
While the tariffs have been paused for 30 days with Canada and Mexico, it's time to check and see if some of your Trader Joe's faves or staples would be subject. This is just a sampling of a products from Canada. I haven't included produce, because it varies so widely and a lot you seem…
For awhile now, Costco has periodically stocked a flat Jack-in-the-Box-style crispy taco from Don Lee Farms. They came in chicken and pork. And now Trader Joe's is bringing us a vegetarian/vegan version with its Crispy Potato and Poblano Pepper Tacos.
The filling is mashed potato and roasted poblano chile. So don't go in…

Chocolate, Pet and Candle Advent Calendars Are In, Too!
The year's most anticipated (TJ's) advent calendar, Trader Joe's 12 Days of Beauty, is hitting shelves now. Shout out to Redditor u/aswewaltz for the heads up. Luckily I was able to squeeze in a trip this morning to see if we had them on this coast,…
The obvious thing to do with Trader Joe's Espresso Martini ($9.99) is chill it and pour it into a glass. It's a mix of "vodka, espresso, and vanilla" (and based on the taste, some simple syrup or other sweetener). It's 40 proof, 20% alcohol by volume, and says it's about 4 drinks. (BTW - great…
Things were a little sparse in the new products department for a second there. So you're getting two week's worth of What's New and Returning at Trader Joe's, as spotted in the Pacific Northwest. Thanksgiving items are just starting to trickle in along with a bunch of new everyday products.
TODAY, one of my…
The first thing to know about Trader Joe's Fig and Honey Batard is it's a LIMITED TIME product. So if you think you wanna try it, get it. And if you end up liking it and wanting it for a holiday charcuterie board, don't dally. Buy an extra and throw it in the freezer.
