I’m all about homemade baking. I’d much rather bake chocolate chip cookies from scratch than buy the prepared versions. Something about the flavor, and the, ahem, love, that goes along with a homemade cookie. However, every now and then, a prepared version suffices. I spotted Trader Joe’s Spiced Apple Bread Mix at the store and couldn’t resist. Being the apple […]

Trader Joe’s Black Bean & Corn Enchilada
Tonight for dinner, I was in the mood for something tasty, and something different. I remembered I bought the Trader Joe’s Black Bean & Corn Enchilada dish a while ago, and searched and then dug it out of the back of my freezer (it’s a balancing act in there with all those boxes leaning on one another!!) According to the […]

Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Spread
I’m not a big fan of cream cheese. In fact, growing up I was the type of kid that when I got a bagel out at supermarket or whatever already prepared, I would smear off a good 3/4 of the cream cheese. HOWEVER, when I heard about this product I just HAD to go try it and buy it! (or […]

Trader Joe’s Meatless Meatballs
Last week I had a dinner of some pasta with this yummy sauce and some of these Meatless Meatballs from Trader Joe’s. These meatless meatballs are vegan and vegetarian. I cooked them in the oven first and then ended up transferring them to the sauce to let them simmer. However, fresh out of the oven, they crisped up nicely.Here’s how […]

Trader Joe’s Reduced Guilt Mac & Cheese
Dinner time rolled around the other night, and I only had one thing on my mind. Mac. &. Cheese. What better a time to try out something new for me that I bought at Trader Joe’s? The Reduced Guilt Mac & Cheese. Not only does it look awesome on the box, it was completely awesome in general. For instance, here’s […]

Trader Joe’s Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
I absolutely love almond milk. I mostly have it with cereal and fruit for breakfast before going to the gym in the morning. Although it’s low on protein, I find it’s lighter on my stomach than dairy is, and I have never had a problem with it. So, the other day at Trader Joe’s, I went to get some Almond […]

Trader Joe’s Country Potatoes with Haricots Verts & Wild Mushrooms
So, I went to Trader Joe’s today (ME? Go to Trader Joe’s?! When does THAT happen… 😉 ) and bought these Country Potatoes with Haricots Verts & Wild Mushrooms. I’ve eaten it before, and pretty much loved it, so I feel it deserves some recognition here on HealthNuttxo! I put the bag’s contents in a frying pan and cooked it […]

Trader Joe’s Maple Leaf Cookies
Maple is definitely one of my favorite flavors. I couldn’t imagine waffles or french toast without maple syrup, and I LOVE it with scrambled eggs. So when I saw these Maple Leaf Cookies at Trader Joe’s, I just had to buy them! On the cover, it states that it has a “smooth and flavorful maple cream filling” along with having […]

Trader Joe’s Breaded Chickenless Nuggets
Last night, a dinner of mashed potatoes, broccoli, and pork was served. Well, at least for everyone else. I however, swapped the pork for something new I got at Trader Joe’s, the Breaded Chickenless Nuggets. I cooked these for about 15 minutes or so. Here’s how they looked Although they seem kind of big in the picture, they actually were […]
