Gorgonzola Ravioli
I’ve tried the portobella mushroom, lobster, and gorgonzola raviolis from TJ’s. They’re all great but the gorgonzola is hands down the best. It tastes great with TJ’s creamy vodka sauce from the fresh section.
Five Layer Fiesta Dip
This dip has black bean dip, salsa, sour cream, cheddar cheese and guacamole. The salsa is very tomato-ey. The dip tastes just like you think it would with all those flavors. It’s pretty good but not a regular buy for me. One way this dip could be improved is to work …
Chili Spiced Mango
These are the best thing that Trader Joe’s has put out in the dried fruit and nuts section in a long time. The mango is sweet and chewy but the twist is, is that is dusted with a chili powder mixture. This product may be too hot for some but if …
Vodka of the Gods
This vodka from Trader Joe’s private label comes in a big plastic jug for your drinking enjoyment. I have heard that Absolut vodka makes this for Trader Joe’s but when you taste this vodka it tastes nothing like it. I don’t recommend this liquor at all unless you are in dire …
Hot & Sweet Mustard
It’s super, I really like this product and it tastes exactly as it’s described – hot and sweet. Perfect with ham or sausage. $1.49.
Roasted Red Pepper & Artichoke Tapenade
This looked really delicious, but sorry not so. Truefully, It’s ok and I’m going to finish the bottle, but I won’t buy it again. It tastes quite vinegary/ acidic and is over loaded with artichokes. I have been eating it plain on small crackers. It works better with cheese to cut …

Spinach Tofu Eggrolls
These do not look or sound particularly appetizing, but boy are they surprisingly delicious! The crust is whole wheat and when baked according to directions gets really golden and crunchy and tastes so good, yet wholesome. The spinach and tofu filling is tasty and satisfying. All in all, I am really …
Spicy Jalapeno Chicken Sausage
Pan-fried or grilled, this is great sausage. It has a good amount of spice flavor without it being real hot. We use this for the Spicy Chicken RIce and Beans recipe which is a regular in our house.
Fire-Roasted Corn
This corn is very interesting…. it says “fire roasted” and “super sweet” on the label. Some of the kernels are indeed burnt and this corn is very sweet. We had it as a side with some rice and it did not taste exactly right, so I am guessing it would make …
