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 Beef Recipe Jerky Strips Review
As mentioned previously, now with a dog, I do have to admit, I am always on the lookout for unique and different food items for Muffin. We do not feed her any “people” food (though I do catch myself giving her a itty bitty piece sometimes…shhhh!) so the more variety I can get for snacks, the better. I decided to try Trader Joe’s Beef Recipe Jerky Strips and Muffin loves them. They smell very much like beef jerky and what’s convenient is that it comes in stripes that can easily be broken into smaller pieces. It’s a great treat when training dogs. We actually have to add some of these…

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…

Trader Joe’s Honey Roasted Almonds Review
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…
