Everyone has been raving about this product so I was really excited to try it! The exterior of the pancake was crispy and the interior was thick and gooey. The cinnamon was the star of the show, as it should be! While I enjoyed this product, I wish they were larger. Now knowing how small these are, I’d pair them with ice cream.

These were delicious but I they won’t be a staple in my life! I can’t wait to try the remainder of the pancakes with ice cream. Now the real question is - what ice cream?!

After being blown away by the mushroom risotto, I knew I needed to give this a try. It wasn’t better than the mushroom, but it was still yummy! I don’t know how they do it, but the rice always cooks perfectly and doesn't get mushy. The asparagus was also firm and didn’t turn to mush! I would have loved if there were more pieces of asparagus included because I enjoyed the texture it brought to the overall dish. I felt that the sauce was lacking some flavor but it’s nothing that some chili flakes and black pepper couldn’t fix.

The mushroom risotto has my heart but I would totally get this again! I need Trader Joe’s to come out with more risotto options because I’d love some more variety!

Normally minestrone soup isn’t my favorite, but I was intrigued by the plethora of orzo in this one! The orzo really bulked it up which is what I was hoping for. I ate the whole container for lunch and was content! With that being said, I definitely wasn’t content with the amount of sodium given it didn't have much flavor. Essentially this is just a veggie soup. There’s nothing wrong with that but I wouldn’t grab a veggie soup over other options!

If you are into minestrone soup, I recommend you give this a try! It’s not my favorite kind of soup which is why it didn’t blow my skirt up… but hey, maybe it’ll toast your buns!

Let me start by saying that this is just ravioli stuffed with butternut squash. Nothing more, nothing less. If you’re looking for a heavily seasoned dish, this isn’t for you! I love butternut squash which is why I wanted to give this a try. Even with the filling being quite simple, I really enjoyed it! I added a little drizzle of EVOO, with a dash of cracked pepper and chili flakes. The toppings paired really nicely with the sweetness of the squash.

I will definitely be picking these up again! The best part about it is the fact that it’s available year round, so don’t feel the need to stock up! I’m always looking for simple products that I can add my own chazzle dazzle to, and this was a success! What’s your favorite ravioli?

This is my favorite sparkling water flavor from TJ’s. I’m not a huge fan of their sparkling water so that should further explain my love for it. It’s so refreshing! The green apple adds a hint of sweetness with a little dash of tartness. I buy some every week, so you could say it’s a seasonal staple in my life! What’s your favorite flavor of sparkling water from Trader Joe’s?!

I wanted to love these… but I couldn’t. Let me start by saying that I love the frozen butternut squash mac and cheese, so I had high hopes for this. I ate 5 bites and was still just as hungry as I was before. Based on that alone, I would rather eat the actual frozen pasta which is more filling and around the same amount of calories. I baked these in the oven (no, I don’t have an air fryer) and the balls fell apart as soon as I picked them up. Lastly, I found these bites to be very butternut squash forward and less cheesy.

Overall, I wouldn’t purchase these again. I actually don’t have much of a desire to finish my box. Truthfully, these didn’t taste bad… but there are too many components I didn’t enjoy. Do you prefer these bites or the Mac and cheese?!

I’m so bummed about this product! My boyfriend is on this massive mochi kick so he’s been trying all of the flavors that TJ’s has to offer. This was next on his list and sadly it won’t be a repurchase. Let me start by saying that the mango flavor was really good. It wasn’t overly sweet but had the perfectly amount of mango flavor. The problem with this product was the sorbet consistency. I really enjoy sorbets but it was way too icy. I felt as if I was chewing on ice. I let the mochi sit out for 5 minutes and there was no change. Biting into the soft rice dough and then chomping on the sorbet was not enjoyable.

Sadly I won’t be repurchasing this product but I’ll definitely be picking up a carton of the mango sorbet. I unfortunately can’t get past the texture of this and am nervous about the other dairy free options. Is the Thai tea mochi the same consistency?!

This was my first time trying this spread and honestly, I shouldn’t have because I now have a new obsession. This spread is essentially a caramel type of product (at least to me), with some cinnamon chazzle dazzle. I tried this both heated and chilled, and I prefer the chilled version. This has a tapioca/jelly consistency which isn’t shocking since it contains tapioca syrup. I enjoyed how thick it was so the consistency wasn’t an issue for me. The cinnamon flavor was immaculate. Yes, immaculate. It had this glorious combo of brown sugar and cinnamon that truly reminded me of a cinnamon roll! Long story long, this is amazing and dangerous. I’ll be sure to stock up before it leaves the shelves. What do you put this on?!

This was my first time trying these brownies and I am obsessed. I inhaled 3 pieces in one sitting, with no regrets. The pumpkin flavor isn’t overpowering and the pecans add some nuttiness. The white chocolate chips and the drizzle make this really light, contributing to the subtleness of the pumpkin spice flavor. I took off one point because I found the texture to be more cakey and less like a brownie. I’d definitely buy these again, but I bet I could make something really similar! Have you tried these?!

This isn’t normally something I’d add to my cart, but I was intrigued when someone told me it was their favorite. I love seafood but didn’t know how frozen clams in a $2.99 pasta would hold up. I was actually really surprised by the finished product. The clams weren’t fishy or grainy and there were a ton of them in the pasta. The sauce is basically garlic, garlic and more garlic which I enjoyed but it ended up being overpowering… and I love garlic. The sauce was also really runny (nearly soupy).

This wouldn’t be my first choice of pasta but I’m glad to know that this is an option if I’m craving clams or a plethora of garlic. It’s a great price and I am impressed with the quality. A thicker sauce would have bumped this rating up! What’s your favorite frozen pasta from TJ’s?!

This is one of my favorite products during the spooky season. It’s yummy and super convenient (aka to throw in the microwave). The Gouda cheese is the star of the show, which I’m obsessed with. The butternut squash is pretty mild so don’t be nervous about a squash forward product! I could definitely taste the thyme which added a little fall-time chazzle dazzle! I’ll definitely be stocking up on this product and I couldn’t recommend it more! What’s your favorite mac and cheese from TJ’s?!

Another mochi flavor down, a few more to go! This frozen dessert is so refreshing, especially with the flavor being strawberry. I normally don’t like strawberry ice creams but I enjoyed this one. It didn’t have an artificial taste and wasn’t too strong of a flavor. Despite all of the good things I have to say, this one just doesn’t compare to the ube. As of now, the ube is still my favorite with the vanilla following. I’d consider the peanut butter mochi and this flavor to be tied! Which one should I try next?!

Everyone asks me what TJ’s product I can’t live without… this is that product. This makes my whole kitchen smell like maple while providing a subtle flavor to actual coffee. I tried this for the first time last year and managed to ration out 5 boxes. This year I purchased 12 boxes and will be back for MORE! I drink this coffee year round (switching between this and the iconic Gloria Jean’s French vanilla). If you couldn’t tell by my stockpile… I am obsessed with this product. I highly recommend you get your hands on this! Have you tried this coffee?

I’m slowly making my way through the various mochi desserts at TJ’s! I liked this flavor but it’s not my favorite (out of the ones I’ve tried). I enjoyed how subtle the peanut butter was yet found the chocolate flavor to be nonexistent. These still were delicious despite the lack of chocolate, so I’d repurchase! All of the Mochi desserts are great for a little pre-portioned treat or snack, which is lovely considering I plow through cartons of ice cream like I’ll never eat again. As of now, the ube Mochi is my favorite with the vanilla coming in second place. Up next for me to try… strawberry! What’s your favorite Mochi flavor at TJ’s?

This popcorn is the bees knees. Consider this to be a farmers market kettle corn, with a little twist. The maple coats the popcorn (some pieces more than others) with the salt hiding I’m the crevices… which heavily blows my skirt up. This product is a seasonal item so you definitely want to stock up! It’s a simple yet tasty snack that’ll definitely put you in a spooky mood. Have you tried this?!

This is one of my favorite candies from TJ’s. If I’m ever in a position where I need some reliable snacks, this is one of my top choices. The sourness is just right which allows the flavors to really shine. All of the flavors are amazing but the blue is my favorite! I’d love if they carried a bag of JUST the blue dolphins. Not only do these taste great, but the shapes are adorable! If you couldn’t tell by my rating and raving review, I’m obsessed. I can always count on this product to satisfy my sweet/sour tooth! What’s your favorite Trader Joe’s candy?!

How could I possibly kick off the spooky season without trying the infamous pumpkin ice cream? This ice cream is light and super creamy. One thing I wasn’t expecting was how subtle it was. I thought it didn’t have enough pumpkin flavor, which was a tad disappointing. I found this ice cream to be yummy but it’ll be a one time a year purchase for me! I’ve tried other pumpkin desserts that I’d prefer to stock up on! What’s your favorite pumpkin dessert?!

Finally, Trader Joe’s provided a product that is actually sour! They’ve tried in the past (**cough cough Tangy Turtles) and have left me disappointed. The flavors are apple, orange, lemon, blue raspberry and cherry… but don’t hold me to that in the case I’m wrong! I enjoyed all of the flavors but the sourness definitely overpowered it all. I couldn’t eat a ton in one sitting because I was wincing from the sourness.

Overall, I’d get these again but they aren’t my first choice! I’m sure I’m not alone in this, but the sour Scandinavian swimmers have my heart! Have you tried these?

I honestly didn’t think that this cauliflower rice would hold up well when combined with a sauce. I was wrong! The cauliflower never got mushy and the butternut squash pieces were cooked perfectly despite being much larger than the rice. I also really enjoyed the sauce. It was light with a little bit of creaminess. The rosemary added a nice touch as well. I took off one point because as you can see in the photo, the sauce was a little more liquidy than I would have preferred. I let the risotto sit for 7 minutes before serving because it was really runny. Letting it sit fixed the problem for the most part so I’m not too mad about it!

I will definitely purchase this again. The whole bag is 210 calories and would go great with some chicken thighs (my favorite protein to cook). Have you tried this seasonal product?!

This is everything I want in a pumpkin spice cookie. The pumpkin spice wasn’t overbearing and it paired nicely with the yogurt coating. If you aren’t super into pumpkin spice but are wanting to try a seasonal treat, I’d recommend these! I enjoyed the texture from the little sprinkles too! This is a very short review but I don’t have much to say other than I love these! They are festive and delicious… what more could I ask for? Will you be trying these cookies?!
