Trader Joe’s Dukkah

28 · Apr 1, 2019 · Updated April 22, 2019 · 16 Comments

An unopened jar Trader Joe's Dukkah jar

It’s back! On a recent trip to Trader Joe’s I noticed this little jar has made its annual return to store shelves. It’s packaged the exact same way as it has been for years which means the product is basically unchanged. For those who think it’s new, here are my thoughts on this from 2018.

Trader Joe’s Onion and Chive Cream Cheese Spread

An unopened container of Trader Joe's Onion and Chive Cream Cheese Spread on a white background

A bagel and a schmear. As a life long New Yorker, I’m pretty sure there is a certain amount of Yiddish that has been added infused into the local lexicon. And when it comes to bagels there is a reason for this.

Trader Joe’s Neapolitan Puffs Cereal

15 · Feb 10, 2019 · Updated April 7, 2019 · 10 Comments

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Neapolitan Puffs Cereal

Neapolitan. The classic pairing of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. We first saw this recently with the seasonally available Neapolitan Joe Joe’s. Now we are seeing it in Trader Joe’s Neapolitan Puffs Cereal. Soon, we will revisit this combination where it all started: in ice cream but with Joe Joe’s. Yup, they seem to be capitalizing on that varieties success.

Trader Joe’s Multipurpose Umami Seasoning Blend

An unopened jar of Trader Joe's Multipurpose Umami Seasoning Blend

Trader Joe’s sells Umami take two. Yes, this isn’t Trader Joe’s first dive into selling us something that is simply just umami. A couple years ago they sold Umami paste. That paste was all sorts of umami from tomatoes, to mushrooms, parmesan cheese, olives, balsamic and other forms of umami. This product is clearly different.

Trader Joe’s ABC Bars

Trader Joe's ABC Bars

Just in time for school to start are Trader Joe’s ABC Bars. I’m not sure if they chose the letters to coincide with the start of school or it just is one big Jackson 5 reference that they were running with based on the fact that these are Almond Butter Cocoa Bars….

Trader Joe's Hot Cocoa Organic Frosted Toaster Pastries

The Fall items have landed. The Fearless Flyer for September will land in less than two weeks but Trader Joe’s has dropped what looks like a winter seasonal item on us. Yes, the Pumpkin Toaster Pastries are back. As much as I dig the pumpkin items, I do love a break from them as well.

Trader Joe’s To the Power of Seven Green Organic Juice Blend

Trader Joe's To the Power of Seven Green Organic Juice Blend

Ok, so the green juice thing has been all the rage for some time. I’ve been curious about it but figured it tasted how it looks: vegetal. And to be honest, I’m not sure how I feel about drinking my veggies. I’m not a fan of Bloody Marys.

An unopened jar of Trader Joe's Chile Lime Seasoning Blend jar

The pros:  Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning Blend is a solid blend found in the spice aisle.

Trader Joe’s Island Soyaki

52 · Jul 20, 2018 · Updated October 29, 2018 · 7 Comments

Trader Joe's Island Soyaki bottle

The pros:  Trader Joe’s Island Soyaki is different from other teriyaki sauces on the market and slightly different than the similar sounding Trader Joe’s Soyaki.

The cons: If you don’t like pineapple, then you should skip this item. This also tastes very salty, so you might be better off using this sparingly if you are going to marinade something.

Trader Joe's Edamame Hummus package

The pros: Trader Joe’s Edamame Hummus is a very different hummus from the rest of the options on the shelf. In fact, the first ingredient here is edamame.

The verdict:  …

Trader Joe’s 8 Mini Raspberry Pastries

Trader Joe's 8 Mini Raspberry Pastries bag

I remember the first time I went to Costco as a kid. It was a grocery store but smelled so much better. We went early as the first Costco by us was a considerable drive out to Long Island. But oh, the smell of the baked goods section. There are certain stores that the smell just hits you: the ravioli store where I grew up smelled of meats and cheeses, the chocolate store that smelled the way the chocolates tasted, and the fish store you knew that you should never go into.

Trader Joe's Organic Air Popped Popcorn bag

The pros: Trader Joe’s Organic Air Popped Popcorn is new and is a healthy popcorn.

The cons: My husbands reaction was “this tastes like diet popcorn.” You can take that on face value. The bag makes it obvious to anyone within 100 feet that you are consuming this product.

Trader Joe’s Green Dragon Hot Sauce

An unopened bottle of Trader Joe's Green Dragon Hot Sauce

My husband and I enjoyed a good hot sauce with our meals. Especially if we go out to a restaurant where they have their own hot sauces. One of the places we like to go to is called Bar Taco.

On each table are red, yellow, and green sauce. While they may make up the colors of a traffic signal, they aren’t quite the same order. The yellow one you have to be more cautious of. The red and green have a flavor profile that my husband and I like.
