Hot Cocoa O’s: 6.5/10 The marshmallows in this are good. That’s this cereal’s saving grace 😂 The cereal itself isn’t bad, but it’s a little dry, flavorless, and harder to chew. I usually LOVE a big bowl of any cereal, but I have yet to find a Trader Joe’s cereal that I really enjoy. What do you think? ...
Dark Russet Potato Chips: 9/10 I’ve never identified with the potato chip slogan “bet you can’t eat just one” until NOW. These are amazing 🤤 They are perfectly crispy and salty. These chips are not dark because they are overcooked. Russet potatoes have a higher sugar content, so when cooked or fried, the sugars caramelize giving the chips a darker ...
Port Salut: 7.5/10 This is a semi soft cheese from France. It is made from cow’s milk and has a very mild, smooth flavor. It’s a very solid, delicious cheese that would go well on any cheese board this holiday season! Have you tried it yet? What do you think? ...
Hatch Chile Mac and Cheese: 8/10 This Mac and cheese is thick and creamy and the Chiles are a very nice touch mixed in. It is verrrry mild spice wise. While this is a frozen meal, it isn’t super quick to make. You can microwave it, but I much prefer to bake it in the over for the full 30 ...
Honey Walnut Shrimp: 6.5/10 First off, I would call this a sweet pineapple shrimp. That’s more of what the sauce tasted like! When cooked, the batter of the shrimp is crispy on the outside, and easily gets too soggy on the inside. The shrimp itself was a little more on the tough side as well. While this dish wasn’t horrible, ...
Raises the Bar: 7/10 This bar is very similar to your standard chocolate chip granola bar. The mullet and buckwheat make this bar heartier and chewier. I wish it had a little more flavor, but the large chocolate chunks make up for that. Have you tried it yet? What do you think? ...
Everything but the Bagel: 10/10 There is nothing quite like Everything but the Bagel!!! It is the perfect mix of seasonings to give you that everything bagel flavor, but better!!! Because you can literally put it on anything you want! I sprinkle it on top of an eggs, toast with butter, chicken, or whatever is in front of me that ...
Vanilla Overnight Oats: 8.5/10 I make overnight oats all the time at home and expected these to taste like your average oats. I was SO pleasantly surprised with how delicious these tasted. The taste like dessert to me! I think it’s the date puréed in+ the vanilla that makes these soo amazing. I will definitely be buying again for quick ...
Pesto Chicken Breast: 6.5/10 I was SO excited to try this because you all know how much I love Trader Joe’s marinated meats (especially the chicken shawarma), but there was something about this chicken that I did not LOVE. The meat was high quality which was great, but the marination tasted extremely acidic. It was far too tangy of a ...
English Coastal Cheddar: 8/10 This is a great block of cheddar for a fantastic price! It is amazingly rich and sharp and melts evenly on grilled cheese or pasta. This cheese has calcium lactate crystals aka flavorrrr crystals in it which gives it some texture and crunch. Have you tried it yet? What do you think? ...
