Let me start by saying, this review is fully coming from my lovely man. If you know me, you know I do not enjoy milk but I wanted to still give you all a review! Max said that it had a nice thick consistency and that there was a perfect amount of nutmeg. He’s no king of egg nog, but he certainly is critical when it comes to reviews… so if Mr. MTJ recommends it, then it must be good! Have you tried this beverage?!

So many people raved about this dip so I needed to give it a try! I didn’t hate it, but I wasn’t obsessed. The dip was straight up blue cheese. Don’t get me wrong, I love blue cheese, but I was hoping it would have more dimension. I couldn’t taste any pecans and there certainly were no chunks of it! I paired it with veggies and crackers. I don’t know if I’d get this again this year but I’ll try it again next year! Have you tried this?!

These carrots are a staple in my life! Each color has a slightly different flavor and they look beautiful on a plate. I love to use them as a shovel for dip, or roast them! I’ve been spending a lot of time perfecting my roasted carrot recipe and I think I finally nailed it. It’s super easy and inexpensive (and of course, delicious).

I really enjoyed the mint chip ice cream so I was excited to try these! I wasn’t disappointed. I actually really enjoyed how the cookie was on the softer side, which might be an unpopular opinion. The ice cream was just like the carton, but was missing one thing. The chocolate chips!! I don’t know if that’s normal but I was sad that the sandwich didn’t look like the picture (aka with chips). Despite that, I’d get these again! A serving left me satisfied and I love that there’s no cleanup! What’s your favorite dessert from TJ’s?!

I love a good chicken noodle soup… and this was NOT it. It had no flavor whatsoever, which is shocking considering the whole carton has 1200mg of sodium. The noodles were also extremely mushy, to the point where they kind of dissolved in my mouth. The only redeeming quality is the quantity of noodles and veggies. I won’t ever get this again. The large carton of toto soup is much better! What’s your favorite soup from TJ’s?!

The Tikka Vegetables pouch is my absolute fav, but I wanted to branch out and give this a shot! I’m slightly torn on this product. It had no flavor. There was no ginger in sight (or any other spice for that matter). I ended up adding habanero sauce to give it some chazzle dazzle. Now this is why I’m torn… even though it lacked flavor, it seems so versatile. I added it to cauliflower rice and was very content with my meal. I had no regrets with the habanero sauce.

With all that being said, if you were looking for a product with Indian spices, this is not it. If you’re looking for a blank canvas to add your own flare to, I’d recommend this. As of now, the Tikka Veggies are still my favorite! What is your favorite Indian Fare pouch?!

I know we are in the holly jolly spirit already but I have a few pumpkin items left and I want to share my thoughts with you! These were delicious. They basically are a muted cinnamon roll, with a hint of pumpkin. The pumpkin was the star of the show without being overbearing. I would have loved some more cinnamon, but I understand these are not your traditional cinnamon rolls! The pumpkin spice frosting was tasty and added a subtle sweetness to the roll. I’ll definitely be picking these up again next year!

I’m bummed about this salad kit. I was expecting a ton of flavor given the ingredients, but it was basically just cabbage and dressing. The dressing was amazing and deserves to be sold alone! It was super heavy on ginger, which I loved. As far as the rest goes, it was eh. I couldn’t taste the seaweed flakes or the cashews. Overall, I probably wouldn’t get this again. There are so many options to choose from so I’ll stick with my spicy buffalo salad. What’s your favorite salad kit?!

This is one of my favorite winter seasonal items! I have to start by saying that if you do not like horseradish… you will not enjoy these. The horseradish was strong but not strong enough to where it burned my nose (you know what I’m talking about). There was a plethora of chives which complemented the horseradish flavor. In addition to all of that, the chips were huge… and I loved it! I will be sure to stock up so that I can enjoy these seasonal chips for as long as possible! Do you enjoy horseradish?!

Where have these been all my life? Oh wait, they’ve been sitting on the shelves because it never occurred to me to try this infamous product. These are phenomenal. The pretzels are salty and the toffee give a little hint of sweetness, while still contributing salt from the butter. The best part was finding pretzels that have a plethora of toffee (like the one in the last photo). You see how all that toffee is filling in the gap of the pretzel loops? Wow, just wow.

It took me long enough to try these and quite frankly, I’ll never go another holiday season without stocking up! Be sure to grab them as soon as you spot them on the shelves because it’s a really really popular product! Have you tried these pretzels before? What else am I missing out on?!

Side note - disregard my blue fingers. I made slime (for the first time) and didn’t realize that my hands would suffer!

This is such a great, hearty soup! The beans and quinoa really bulked it up, while adding a nice texture. The whole container is 320 calories which I loved and also kept me full! I took off one point because I would have really enjoyed some heat, but adding some habanero hot sauce fixed that! I will definitely keep picking this up until it’s not longer in season! It’s super convenient, filling, and it’s vegan! What’s your favorite soup from Trader Joe’s?

This ice cream is phenomenal. There were so many cheesecake pieces throughout the carton and the berry swirl was so refreshing. I think the ice cream is some sort of sweet cream (or cheesecake?) flavor and it went well with all the other components. I was so blown away at the quality of this ice cream. It’s fairly inexpensive and it tastes like a specialty ice cream that is triple the cost. The carton is small but it’s probably better that way (considering I plowed through one last night without even thinking about it).

This ice cream is the definition of chazzle dazzle and I’ll keep buying it until it disappears… because knowing TJ’s, it probably will leave soon! I haven’t reviewed all of the ice creams from TJ’s, but this is by far my favorite out of the ones I’ve tried! Have you tried this? What’s your fav ice cream?

This is my new favorite pasta sauce! You all know how I feel about red sauce (if it’s not my grammas homemade sauce… I don’t want it), so I’m glad to find something that’s not an alfredo or pesto! This sauce is exactly like the autumnal harvest soup, minus the chunks. I really enjoy the soup because of the chunks but I LOVED the smoothness of the sauce. The pumpkin and butternut squash flavor is really subtle which is perfect for those who aren’t super into those ingredients!

I will definitely be stocking up on this sauce! It’s delicious and went perfectly with my princess pasta from @worldofpastabilities !! I can’t be the only adult who likes their pasta in the shape of princesses and tiaras! What’s your favorite pasta sauce from TJ’s?!

If you enjoy stuffing, this is for you! I was shocked at how yummy it was while also still embodying traditional stuffing. All of the seasonings were on point (which is what gave it that stuffing flavor). I really enjoyed the little turkey sausage balls but I wish there was more of them! The sizing of the veggies and the sausage balls paired nicely with the rice, allowing me to get everything in one bite!

This isn’t a staple for me but I’d definitely get it again! It’s a great side dish for those who want to have a festive dinner. What have you paired this with?

This popcorn is a staple, especially when I’m hosting a movie night (with me, myself and I). It’s buttery and salty without being overly greasy. Of course it gives you butter fingers, but it’s minimal in comparison to popcorn at movie theaters! The flavor of this popcorn reminds me of authentic movie theater popcorn (if you didn’t drown it in extra butter).

I love to try different brands of “movie theater style” popcorn, and this one is by far the BEST one! I love picking this up when I go to the movies, especially for a 1/10th of the price! Have you tried this?!

There is no way that this is a sharable appetizer… because I ate all of these bites in one sitting and I am not mad at it. All of the ingredients worked so well together! There were multiple little layers of fillo dough and they were so flaky yet light and airy. The green bean filling was flavorful and I loved the additional of black pepper (it gave extra chazzle dazzle). Also, we can’t forget about the fried onion on top! The pieces were extra crispy which paired so nicely with the smooth filling. I took off one point because some bites had more onion than others, and I wanted a plethora on all of them! I will definitely pick these up again for dinner (with a side of roasted carrots for a perfect meal). Have you tried this new product?!

Honestly, who needs a PSL (pumpkin spice latte for you non-coffee people) when you can have these! I was nervous to try these at first but was pleasantly surprised. The pumpkin spice flavor wasn’t overpowering yet still was the star of the show. The white chocolate also paired nicely with the espresso beans. I took off one point because I personally find the beans hard to chew through (but clearly that is a personal problem). I would definitely pick these up again next year! This would make a perfect little gift… especially for the price. What’s your favorite fall seasonal item?!

I’m normally really peculiar about red sauce, yet I didn’t hate this! The sauce had good flavor but it was extremely runny. It gave me soupy vibes. There was a nice amount of filling, which I feel like is rare with ravioli from TJ’s. I wish the filling had more flavor though. I love the convenience of the frozen pastas but I don’t think this would be my first choice! I’m a pepe pasta gal. What’s your favorite frozen pasta dish?!

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but something about this salad changed from last year. The cinnamon flavor was much heavier this time around. There was a massive quantity of lettuce which I appreciated, but I was still not satisfied after eating the entire (yes the entire) bag. I enjoyed the incorporation of the cheese and pecans, and would have loved more! If the apple pieces were less cinnamon heavy, I would have enjoyed the salad more.

Overall, I wouldn’t get this again based on this years review. I really enjoyed it last year, so I’m quite surprised! What’s your favorite salad kit?!

This is my favorite wrap!! I don’t eat them often, but when I do, this is the one I grab first. I love the combo of sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese and cucumbers. I prefer this wrap warmed but I’ve eaten it plenty of times chilled and it’s just as good! The pesto vinaigrette is the best part of the product (which shouldn’t be surprising). Shockingly, the quantity provided is enough for my whole wrap… but I do use it more sparingly than I would if I had a bottle of it! What’s your favorite wrap?!
