Trader Joe’s Hot Cocoa Snowman

4 · Dec 4, 2019 · 2 Comments

An unopened package of Trader Joe's Hot Cocoa Snowman

There is more than meets the eye if you buy Trader Joe’s Hot Cocoa Snowman. There is the initial “what a cute idea.” But in reality, this is actually a pretty nice copy of an item that made Oprah’s Favorite Things list in 2018.

Trader Joe’s Advent Calendar for Cats

An unopened 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

Trader Joe’s Oven Baked Cheese Bites with Black Truffle

An unopened bag of Trader Joe's Oven Baked Cheese Bites with Black Truffle

Don’t adjust your monitors. I nearly walked past this item on the new items display. Every now and again they put items that are currently on shelves on that display. I noticed the bag was a bit faded out and took a closer look, only to realize this is different, this is Trader Joe’s Oven-Baked Cheese Bites with Black Truffle.

So let’s say you are looking for a last-minute gift item. Perhaps that person doesn’t like fragrances found in Trader Joe’s Body Butter Trio. Perhaps they want something more neutral. Or something with pretty packaging. Then consider the 2019 Trader Joe’s Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream Trio a good gift idea.

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Peppermint Loaf and Baking Mix

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Chocolate Peppermint Loaf and Baking Mix

If there are any flavors I’m totally obsessed with is the combination of Chocolate and Peppermint. I’m that person adding a few pumps of peppermint syrup to their mocha frappuccino in the middle of July. So I got excited when I saw Trader Joe’s Chocolate Peppermint Loaf and Baking Mix hit the rest of the baking mixes.

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Lava Gnocchi

A unopened bag of Trader Joe's Chocolate Lava Gnocchi on a white sufrace

In tonight’s review of something you didn’t think you need in your life is Trader Joe’s Chocolate Lava Gnocchi. Now, I can honestly say I’ve never thought about pairing chocolate and potato before. Heck, I’ve seen a lot of hype via the internet. But would it be as strange as the Chocolate Hummus? Or would it need to be made crisp like the Outside in Gnocchi?

Trader Joe’s Cheesecake in a Bite

2 · Nov 12, 2019 · 2 Comments

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Cheesecake in a Bite

If New Yorkers do three food items well it is bagels, pizza, and cheesecake. Most people know Junior’s cheesecake. I personally prefer a complete hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere called Cascon Cheesecake. Others in the neighborhood always raved about La Cheesecake. In either case, good cheesecake was never far away.

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Advent Calendar for Dogs

Today, I am bringing on a special guest reviewer. He’s almost 4 years old and was very happy to help out with this review. He was so elated to get this set last year, he took one big sniff of the bag I brought over and immediately began running around in circles. He must have known it was time for Trader Joe’s Advent Calendar for Dogs.

I am a sample junkie. And when Trader Joe’s 12 Days of Beauty hit shelves I was strangely excited. Finally a sample set of items on shelves, seasonal items, and some items unique only to this set. But be warned, if you want to be surprised then this review contains spoilers as to what is behind each door (not that you couldn’t flip the box over and see what was in it.

Fearless Flyer November 2019 Matchups

Welcome to another edition of the Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer Matchups. This is the Thanksgiving Flyer and one of two Flyers that will be appearing this month. This one is a bit shorter than most. You might have also noticed that your local store has already started getting items in for the holiday season. Yes, the holiday cookies are already out as are a few more of my seasonal favorites.

Trader Joe’s Pappa al Pomodoro

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Pappa al Pomodoro

If I’ve had one complaint in 2019 about Trader Joe’s, it is that I’ve tried too many snack related items. Not that I mind, I just look forward to the healthier options more. And only recently have some of those healthier options been hitting shelves. Like the recent Acai Bowl. Now that the weather is cooler, Trader Joe’s Pappa al Pomodoro is a quick meal that keeps the calories in check.

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Philly Cheesesteak Bao Buns

Food fusion here. Now, if you are from Philly, let me apologize on behalf of Trader Joe’s. These do not do a good Philly Cheesesteak justice. But as far as bao go, the dough here is at least as good as the Pork Bao Buns. However, as a combination Trader Joe’s Philly Cheesesteak Bao Buns just don’t match the hype.

Trader Joe’s Organic Tomato Mozzarella Piccolo Pizza

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Organic Tomato Mozzarella Piccolo Pizza

There is absolutely nothing like New York pizza. I’m not sure if it is the water or some other magical factor, but nothing comes close. Not even in a frozen pizza. However, there has been a bit of a shuffle in Trader Joe’s frozen pizza aisle where certain items have been discontinued. So, when something gets discontinued something else takes its place and in this case, it is Trader Joe’s Organic Tomato Mozzarella Piccolo Pizza.

An unopened box of Trader Joe's Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake Mix

I love a good crumb cake. Or is it a coffee cake? Regardless, people tend to use both phrases interchangeably. Regardless, we are still talking about the same thing here. And for the naysayers out there, sometimes an item that disappears from the shelves of Trader Joe’s doesn’t always mean it is gone forever. In fact, Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake Mix was introduced in 2010 and hasn’t been seen in about 5 years….

The weather is finally getting cooler and I’m excited to be able to turn on the oven in the house. While I don’t necessarily love the whole getting cold and maybe snow thing we have going on here in the northeast, I can tell you that nothing beats a baked good fresh from the oven. So the first chill we had and I made sure to try Trader Joe’s Maple Pecan Cookie and Baking Mix.
