Vlog Challenge: Day 11 I love almonds. As a matter of fact, I don’t think there are many nuts that do not enjoy. I am amazed though at how expensive nuts are, especially almonds and pecans. Delicious and good for you, nuts are a great snack to fill you up when you get hungry. One of my friends at work always shares the most interesting, tasty foods with me. I am usually a creature by habit and tend to purchase the same foods everytime I go shopping. My friend on the other hand, tries new things and always allows me to do a taste test. I don’t think there has…

Trader Joe’s Tandoori Naan Review
Vlog Challenge: Day 9 What is Naan? I honestly did not know till perhaps a few years ago when I went to an Indian restaurant in Japan. Yes, that’s right. My first expereince of having Indian food was when a friend of mine took me to have some curry, naan and chai tea in Sapporo, Japan. Though in the Japanese culture we have curry, Indian curry is a bit more soupy. It was so delicious! Basically naan is a type of flatbread in India that gets cooked in clay ovens and served along side many dishes. While at Trader Joe’s the other day, while browsing in the frozen food section…

Ginger Chews from Ginger People Sold at Trader Joe’s Review
Vlog Challenge: Day 8 Ginger is so beneficial for many things in life. People often use it as a digestion aid, as a immune booster as well as an ingredient while cooking to add a little zing to your dish. In my household, when one gets sick or wants to avoid getting carsick, ginger is used. When I have a full on sore throat or at times a slight throat irritation, I take these Ginger Chews from the Ginger People. It’s a little spicy and sweet which soothes the throat nicely. It comes in super handy. Though this is not an official Trader Joe’s brand named item, it is sold…

Trader Joe’s Pecan Pie Ice Cream Review
Vlog Challenge: Day 5 Pecan pie…just those 2 words make my day. I have always loved pecan pie. Yes, it’s super sweet and yes, it’s super high in fat but pecan pie…oh how I love thee! I have made pecan pie before and actually reduced the sugar content by half and it was still amazing! That just shows how sweet the pie is! I do know many people who don’t like pecan pie just for that reason. It is too sweet. I’m not sure what it is that makes me love it so much. It could be the pecans or it could be the gooey center of the pie. Nonetheless,…

Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter and Oat Bars Review
Vlog Challenge: Day 4 I tend to love any kind of snack bars. It is amazing how many different kind of snack bars there are out there in the market. There are those that pretty much tastes like a candy bar all the way to those that are super natural with only honey as the ingredient holding the ingredients of the bar together. I am awful at taking lunches at work. Though time is allotted for me to take a lunch, I get busy and time just passes by. Before I know it, it’s already 2pm! For exactly times like these, I always keep some snack bars in my…

Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Sugar Grinder Review
Day 3: Vlog Challenge I was browsing down the Trader Joe’s seasoning section when the Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Sugar Grinder caught my eye. It sounded very interesting so I looked at the ingredients and literally, it was just cinnamon and sugar. Imagine that! Like many of their other grinder products, this container has a built in grinder that will grind the sugar and cinnamon into a lovely seasoning which could be used on top of pretty much any dessert. I’ve used it on popcorn as well as cookies. It grinds it very finely that you get both seasonings equally which is great!
