82 · Jan 12, 2020 · 5 Comments

Trader Joe's Chicken Fried Rice bag

So you are craving Chinese, but for some reason you aren’t going out or ordering in. This is a good, but not a great answer to not getting it at your local Chinese food establishment. Why isn’t it great?

An unopened package of Trader Joe's Creamy Chicken and Poblano Ravioli

Finally. Something that can be considered real food. An actual meal. The past month, all the new items that have landed in store have been more or less junk food. I’ve had enough of cookies and sweets for a bit. Well, if it weren’t for one last lap around the store, I would have missed these. These are the newest addition to the fresh pasta aisle since the addition of the Italian Sausage and Four Cheese Ravioli.

Trader Joe's Stuffed Peppers

Trader Joe’s Shawarma Chicken Thighs

Trader Joe's Shawarma Chicken Thighs package

“Have you ever tried shawarma…I don’t know what it is, but I know I want to try it.” This was one of the ending lines of the first Avengers films. That particular scene takes place in NYC.

Although I’ve lived my whole live in and around NYC, I too had never had shawarma up until this point. What made that line so funny at the end of the movie was its complete randomness.

Karen’s Spice Kitchen Chicken Tikka Masala

Karen's Spice Kitchen Chicken Tikka Masala

This post is brought to you by Karen’s Spice Kitchen who provided me with the Chicken Tikka Masala spice packet. All opinions are my own.

I grew up in an Irish-American household. Every holiday my parents would put out the salt and pepper shakers. They were more ceremonial than functional. Those salt and pepper shakers were my grandparents. It might have even been their grandparents too. I’ve never actually seen anyone use them or refill them. Salt and pepper seemed to be exotic spices growing up. Other spices were just alien items growing up….

Trader Joe's BBQ Teriyaki Chicken

The pros: Trader Joe’s BBQ Teriyaki Chicken can be made entirely in the microwave, reasonably priced considering how much of the work is done for you.
