We Tried Trader Joe’s Avocado Ranch Salad Kit

Trader Joe's salad kits aren't usually on my shopping list, but something about Avocado Ranch said throw one of these in your basket. See how it is. And let's be honest, I really never pass up a Frito salad. (There's a good one in The Homesick Texan's Family Table by Lisa Fain). So, for…

Trader Joe’s Pumpkinpalooza is On – 9/6/23

Pumpkin Cream Cheese was the early signal that Trader Joe's annual Pumpkinpalooza was on its way. Then last weekend Pumpkin Spice Cream Liqueur and a few Pumpkin beers turned up. And now, it looks like Pumpkinpalooza is on. And some of the new entries are looking promising. Mini Pumpkin Ginger Scones - I brought…

While everyone's waiting on pumpkin-palooza to start, let's take a look at what's new (and returning!) at Trader Joe's. As spotted in the Pacific Northwest.

We Tried Trader Joe’s Passion Fruit Rounds

Where my lilikoi fans at?! When I saw Trader Joe's Passion Fruit Rounds in the nut/dried fruit aisle, I thought, "Please, please let them be good." I mean, if you've ever had a passion fruit, you know how small they are, and how you just get maybe 3-4 small scoops of pulp per fruit. But…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Coffee and Dark Chocolate Joe-Joe’s

When we first heard about Trader Joe's Coffee and Dark Chocolate Joe-Joe's last week, I wondered out loud if they could possibly be even better than the peanut butter version. Welp, here's the verdict. No, they're not. Now look, don't get me wrong, these are perfectly tasty, but when we're talking about 6g of…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Tirokafteri (Spicy Greek 3-Cheese Spread)

Although I've been to Greece, I can't say we had a 3 cheese spread with roasted red peppers while we were there. So I don't have anything to compare Trader Joe's Tirokafteri to, but I can tell you, TJ's version wasn't spicy (for me). Feta is just one of the cheeses in the mix, so…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Amarena Cherry Goat Cheese

Trader Joe's Amarena Cherry Goat Cheese showed up in my store just after Valentine's Day, when it would have been great for a little cheese board for two. And while the cherries themselves usually turn up during the winter holidays, I'm not mad this one rolled out a little later. Trader Joe's Amarena Cherry…
