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 Electrolyte Water Review
I’ve always wanted to try electrolyte water so what better time to give it a shot then when I am sick. I have been sick with the flu for a while now and because of that, I need to stay hydrated. I often drink Gatorade when I’m sick but sometimes, I just need water. I often see people drinking fancy waters like Smart Water but never tried it so I asked my husband to purchase some Trader Joe’s Electrolyte water. I was so excited to see what it would taste like and really…it tasted exactly the way it should taste…like water. LOL! I’m not sure what I was expecting. Maybe…

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 99 Cent Greeting Cards Review
I know this blog is food focused but I couldn’t’ resist sharing the greeting card selection at Trader Joe’s. In a day in age where email is the preferred communication method, greeting cards definitely don’t get much credit anymore. I personally love greeting cards. I enjoy writing them as well as receiving them. I do ponder what to do with the cards after reading them. Do I keep it (I tend to be a pack rat though I’m getting way better) or is it something ok to toss? Anyway, for those who still enjoy the old school greeting card communication method, have you checked out the prices cards? Wow! It…

Trader Joe’s Beans So Green Review
Vegetables…though super good for you, I do have to admit, I don’t incorporate it in my daily foods enough and because of that, I resort to taking multi-vitamins. But really, the nutrition in veggies are so much more better than multi-vitamins. What usually happens in my household is that I purchase fresh veggies with the hopes of eating it until it’s gone but when it comes down to it, it’s really the only the first day that I have the motivation. The next day, the veggie will just sit then a couple of days will pass but by then, I get paranoid that it probably has spoiled and end of…

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 …
