Have you heard about Greek Yogurt? It has been the craze over the past few years. Though not really popular at first here in the States, now it has become a household name. I first tried Greek Yogurt not too long ago and now I am a huge fan. I’m not sure if I’ll ever go back to regular yogurt. So what is Greek Yogurt? Greek Yogurt is basically yogurt that has the whey strained out, giving you a more tart, thicker consistency yogurt. People love it, some dislike it but really, it’s up to your taste buds. It is definitely an acquired taste. Over the years, Greek Yogurt has…

Plastic Storage Container Addict…Yes, That’s Me
I never thought I would be addicted to plastic storage containers but I have recently realized that when do go shopping and I see a unique container, I want it. In the meantime, the drawer in which we keep all of our storage containers is over flowing! I just can’t help myself. Rather than purchasing containers that are inexpensive, I should probably invest in the Tupperware brand but it’s hard. A great place (though it’s not the best quality) to find cool containers is the Dollar store. And really, because it’s only a dollar, you really don’t expect it to last a long time. The newest addition to my container…

Trader Joe’s Dried Fruit Bar Review
Though these are called Trader Joe’s Dried Fruit Bars, in reality, they are very much similar to fruit leathers, aka fruit roll ups. Fruit roll ups (though it’s an actual brand name and not a product name much like when I wrote about Kleenex) brings back so many fond memories for me when I as a child. I remember my mom packing them up for us for school lunches as well as the many different kinds of fruit roll ups on the market. I remember the cool psychedelic swirl flavors as well as the fruit roll ups that had cut out shapes that you can enjoy. Looking back, though…

Trader Joe’s Tempura Shrimp Review
I love tempura. I always have and growing up in a Japanese household, both my parents it for us at home. I wouldn’t say it was always but definitely enough that we got our tempura fix was satisfied. There are so many different kinds of tempura. I would have to say my favorites are the sweet yam, green beans, mushroom and of course, shrimp. But now that I don’t live with my parents, having tempura happens only when I go to a Japanese restaurant. On rare occasions when we have dinner at my parents, they do decide to make it which is a treat. But then recently, I found these…

Trader Joe’s Trader Ming’s Mandarin Orange Chicken Review
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when I say Panda Express? Ok, you may say pandas (which I love by the way) but some may say Orange Chicken. It is amazing how the majority of the people who order at Panda Express choose their Orange Flavored Chicken as one of their items. Started in 2004, Panda Express has now 1,500 stores in 42 different States including Puerto Rico. I think the reason visit them is because you can order your food fast and it’s fresh. I do know some people who do not like Panda Express due to it being a more Americanized Chinese eatery but …

Trader Joe’s Trek Nuts Mix Review
Vlog Challenge: Day 12 As mentioned in my other post, I love nuts. Did you know that nuts are super healthy for you. It is said that they can reduce stress, keep your heart healthy, may prevent cancers such as lung cancer and prostate cancer, help with lowering cholesterol, keeping your weight down just to name a few (please do research and ask your doctor for advice before going crazy on eating nuts due to this post). If something so small is packed with so much benefit, shouldn’t we always keep some on hand? While visiting Trader Joe’s one day, I came across these Trader Joe’s Trek Mix. It’s so…
