Trader Joe's blog and cooking.
Some Trader Joe's sell beer. Some sell wine. Some sell alcohol. Rules vary by state and location, but if you are thinking of picking up some drinks be sure to check here for recommendations (and items to skip).
From their line of Secco Wine to the products that hide the booze like the seasonal Brandy Beans or Boozy Assortment of Truffles. Search here to find reviews of Trader Joe's alcohol and wine products and see which ones are worth your time and which ones you may want to consider leaving on the shelf!
So if you are at Trader Joe’s there are a plethora of advent calendars to choose from. First, you have the traditional chocolate one that still sells for under $1. Then you have the cat advent calendar and the dog advent calendar. Heck, there even used to be an adult advent calendar sold a few years back that had tastes that an adult would appreciate. But since 2020 is being so very 2020, maybe Trader Joe’s knew the adults needed something a little harder hitting.

If there was on holiday food memory other than cinnamon rolls, it was making a rum cake with my mom. It was nothing fancy nor was it a family secret. Nope, it was the classic 1980’s Bacardi Rum Cake recipe. It was moist, boozy, delicious, and had the shelf life of a fruit cake. I loved making it with my mom. She let me handle the cake, but the making the glaze was on her. In either case, I loved it and was hoping for the same awesomeness in this box.
