I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure the quarantine 15 is going to be a thing. I’ve done more baking in the last 2 weeks than I did over the entire holiday season. The whole being at home thing and staying close to the refrigerator most of the time has been very real. I’m positive pajama pants have given me a false sense of security as well. So, I figured I would revisit an older product review.

Trader Joe’s Kitchen Garden Scented Candle Collection
On my last trip to Trader Joe’s (more than 10 days ago), I was fortunate enough to come across something that had just landed on shelves. I figured if I was going to be stuck in the house for an indeterminate amount of time, I would do so in total comfort. And in my world that meant spending nearly $10 on Trader Joe’s Kitchen Garden Scented Candle Collection.
…
Trader Joe’s Spinach and Artichoke Dip
I love a good dip. A dip is something that I usually order as an appetizer when I go out to eat. But sometimes there are quiet nights where we just watch TV, Netflix, or a movie on DVD. So we make ourselves a couple of drinks and enjoy snack food rather and a real meal. Of all the dips I’ve tried Trader Joe’s Spinach and Artichoke Dip is my favorite. …
Trader Joe’s Harissa Flavored Chicken Thighs
So on my most recent trip, I found this bag of newly marinated meat. And I have to be honest, I really like the Chicken Shawarma. It has such a nice blend of flavor it seems to be pretty consistent in terms of quality. So my hope is that these would be just as just albeit spicy chicken thighs as well.
…
Trader Joe’s Kung Pao Chicken Mochi Balls
Sorry for the time off. I think it is fair to say that, I was glued to the news like so many of you. And for the last few weeks like seems less and less normal by the day. So on my most recent shopping trip, I picked up a few essentials (after waiting in line but walked into a fully stocked store) and brought home enough groceries to last a bit. I’d rather not be part of the problem. So, I usually go shopping at Trader Joe’s twice a week to do small shops. Now, I’m probably going to do one larger shop every other week.
…
Trader Joe’s Sparkling Strawberry Juice Beverage
So with June on the horizon and strawberry season upcoming it seems only appropriate to have some strawberry flavored items. So rather than having a food item, they’ve made a light strawberry drink.
…
Trader Joe’s Limone Alfredo Sauce
So we go through a lot of pasta in my household. And my husband likes nothing more than a big bowl of creamy alfredo sauce. He’ll have it with gnocchi or pasta (but I haven’t been able to get him into the whole zoodle craze). But nonetheless, I started him off with the jarred variety. Then I started making homemade.
…
Trader Joe’s Mandarin Style Orange Chicken Bowl
Ah, a new freezer item. I don’t know why I get more excited over these than other items. But anything to make a quick and easy lunch that I don’t need to think about.
…
Trader Joe’s 100% Organic Argan Oil
As I’ve said before, I’m a full blow Sephora junkie. And recently in my monthly Play subscription box a cute little bottle of Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil appeared. It was a teeny tiny .17 ounce bottle. It seemed nice. However, the full-size bottle is $49.
…
Trader Joe’s All in One Facial Cleanser
So I’ve made it a point this year to dive deeper into some of the most nondescript packaged beauty items that I’ve ever tried in my life. As a Sephora junkie (yes, I’m Rouge level bad) I own a shameful number of beauty products which have taken over the bathroom vanity and several drawers in that vanity as well.
…
Trader Joe’s Roasted Vegetable Multi-Grain Lasagna
When I think of lasagna, I think of Sunday dinner. I think of thick dreamy layers of deliciousness interrupted by a single layer of pasta between the dreaminess. To this point, Trader Joe’s has not knocked it out of the park with their lasagna offerings.
…
Trader Joe’s Everything but the Elote Seasoning Blend
Since the release of Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel seasoning, there really isn’t much that I go through by the bottle regularly. Until now. While it was just recently released, this little jar packs a punch in the flavor department.
…
Trader Joe’s 12 Classic Lemon Bars
It’s wintertime. And citrus is really at its best this time of year. But aside from eating fresh fruit, there is on perennial favorite sitting in the freezer section that is ready-made, sliced up, and available in bite-sized pieces: Trader Joe’s 12 Classic Lemon Bars.
…
Trader Joe’s Organic Cheese and Tomato Family Size Pizza
Well, here is one of the few items at Trader Joe’s that I’ve ever seen as being labeled as “Family Size.” But I am here to assure you that if your family is over the size of 2, you might need more. Sorry, this is no Costco sized item.
…
Trader Joe’s Raspberry and White Chocolate Bundt Cake
Confession time: I’m really not a white chocolate fan. I don’t know what it is about it, but there are very few brands that I actually like. When I do have good white chocolate I know it right away. White chocolate is like tequila to me: the cheap stuff gives me an instant headache.
…
Trader Joe’s Honey Baguette
So one of the new items that have hit the February Fearless Flyer this month was a new bakery item: the honey baguette. For the most part, many of the bakery items are pretty good. They have short shelf lives, but that is the sign of fresher food.
…
Trader Joe’s Supreme Hydrating Eye Cream
It’s been a good run so far in the health and beauty items. So far this year we’ve seen a whole bunch released: from a microdermabrasion scrub to new facial wipes to a new cleansing oil. And considering we are pretty early into the year, these are at least the items that won’t impact your diet one bit. And nor will Trader Joe’s Supreme Hydrating Eye Cream.
…
Trader Joe’s Ginger Beef Sirloin
It’s been a while since Trader Joe’s has added anything new to the pre-marinated meat selection. But when they do it can be quite hit or miss. Since most Trader Joe’s customers do make meals in a hurry (from time to time at least) then it is only fair that they finally add a stir fry into the mix.
…
Trader Joe’s February 2020 Fearless Flyer Matchups
Welcome to the first product specific Fearless Flyer of the year. My goal here with this Trader Joe’s February 2020 Fearless Flyer Matchups are to match the products featured with reviews from this blog and from around the web.
If there is a picture next to the product, it is matched with a review from this blog. If it is just a link, then it is a review on a different site. If there is neither, that means I couldn’t find a review to match up with that product.

Trader Joe’s Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie Baking Mix
In my experience, there have been a number of products where the directions are less than perfect. Some have been outright wrong. However, there are some products where the directions could have been written a bit clearer which includes this Trader Joe’s Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie Baking Mix.
…
Trader Joe’s Microdermabrasion Scrub
Well here is something I’m happy to say, while Trader Joe’s has been hitting us with quite a few snacks I am very happy to report that the health and beauty section keeps getting new items. Best of all there hasn’t been a dud in the ones I’ve tried so far. This week alone has brought us not one, but two new items: Trader Joe’s Microdermabrasion Scrub and Trader Joe’s Ultra Hydrating Eye Cream.
…
Trader Joe’s Cucumber and Citrus Face and Body Wipes
Another new find in the health and beauty aisle is Trader Joe’s Cucumber and Citrus Face and Body Wipes. However, this is an interesting find as Trader Joe’s already sells Micellar Cleanser and Make Up Wipes are already on shelves.
…
Trader Joe’s Jelly Bean Hearts
As soon as the holidays were over, it seemed we had a week of normalcy and then the next holiday is upon us: Valentine’s Day. While not a huge holiday for some folk, there is a growing number of seasonal items related to this day that are making their way back on to shelves.
…
Trader Joe’s Cleansing Oil
New products make me happy. Especially when those new products just happen to be in the health and beauty aisle of Trader Joe’s. This week Trader Joe’s hit us with not one, but two new items: this cleansing oil and a Cucumber and Citrus Face and Body Wipes. Since my skin needs a bit of hydrating this far into winter, I decided to start with the cleansing oil.
