An unopened jar of Trader Joe's Stroopwafel Cake Baking Mix

I don’t know what is up with Trader Joe’s products and the cooking directions. But this is another case of me telling you- don’t go by the package. Which is not to be confused by me saying don’t go buy the package.

Trader Joe's Moisturizing Lip Balm Set on a white surface in an unopened package

There are some products that really represent 2020: face masks and toilet paper. For some, face masks have been a part of their job. For the rest of us, we are learning. Trader Joe’s doesn’t sell masks, but since so many of us are we’ve all come to the same conclusion: we all now have chapped lips under those masks.

Trader Joe’s Advent of the Cocktail Hour

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Advent of the Cocktail Hour

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.

Trader Joe’s Beef en Croute

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Beef en Croute

This won’t be my usual introduction but here goes: I hope you are reading this review of Trader Joe’s Beef en Croute before you make this. Or at least before bake this fully according to the directions. A while back I reviewed the turkey en croute. But there is a key difference: the turkey is cooked, but this isn’t.

An unopened jar of Trader Joe's Spicy Pumpkin Curry

For far too long, I’ve heard many a comment (including my own written thoughts) about Trader Joe’s not selling their curry sauces in a jar. Yes, I know there is a Masala sauce on shelves, but it is no where close to the sauce on the frozen entrees.

Babka. I’m not going to lie to anyone when I say that the Chocolate Brooklyn Babka might be a staple in my household. But it do debate whether it is meant for breakfast or dessert because I’ve consumed it at both times of day. Sometimes twice a day.

An unopened box of Trader Joe's These Sprinkles Walk Into a Sandwich Cookie

As a kid, I remember certain food items and the joy the brought me. Namely, Funfetti cake mix along with the tub of icing and Dunkaroos which had the same Funfetti icing quality. If you are interested in reliving some of the ’90s nostalgia, then this isn’t a bad cookie to pick up.

The box of Trader Joe's Advent Calendar for Cats

Last year, Trader Joe’s had a surprise runaway hit on their hands: Trader Joe’s Advent Calendar for Dogs. I can’t tell you how many people I walked past saying, “wow that’s adorable” and then placed it in their cart. This clearly made Fido happy, but kitty sad. As the cats were left out in 2018, in 2019 Trader Joe’s debuted their Advent Calendar for Cats
