A puzzling combination is the sea-salt brownie. Not one I would have though to make. Surprisingly, they come together very well in this new offering from Trader Joe’s. First, brownie itself I would describe as moist and fudgy, not cakey at all. They are also small, single bite sized. Second, the …
You may have noticed the flurry of new deserts at your local TJ’s in the past few weeks. The Blueberry Blintz Cheesecake is the one that really caught my eye. I am a lover of the traditional, buttery graham cracker crust but in this case, the crumbs have been replaced by …
Ever have the eggplant parmigiana at the Olive Garden? I made an absolutely delicious replica of this dish using these breaded, sliced eggplants, TJ’s marinara, and TJ’s grated parmesan over pasta. I am really not much of an eggplant fan but these baked up so nice and crispy. The flavor was …

I love love love the Chile Lime Chicken Burgers. They are low in fat and calories but packed with flavor! I serve them on a bun with avocado slices, homemade chipotle mayo, lettuce and tomatoes. My boyfriend loves these too.
This was the perfect side dish to an asian inspired meal. I just added some tamari, garlic power, a little black pepper and a splash of sesame oil. So quick and easy and delicious. My husband loved them!!
This tea is so refreshing! One sip and I was instantly hooked! If you like unsweetened iced tea then you must try this one!!
