RIP Theo Albrecht -- 10 Facts About the Man Behind... →

If you’re like us (or Maggie Griffin) you still haven’t fully recovered from the death of the boxed-wine guy. And now, the man responsible for bringing the world Two Buck Chuck (and the portion of our 20s spent drunkenly singing along to Joni Mitchell — yes, we’re available!) has passed away.

Indian Taco a la Trader Joe's!

This is my favorite snack. All ingredients courtesy Trader Joe’s. <3 u, TJ. Take one frozen Garlic Naan, and one frozen Masala (veggie) Burger. Microwave the burger for a minute or so, then pop it in a preheated oven at 400. Let it cook about five minutes more, then pop in the garlic naan. These cook fast, about 3 min. Don’t overcook them. Pull out both naan & burger, and...

Observed while waiting in the checkout line at a South Bay (NorCal) Trader Joe’s…. Cashier: $14.92 Older WASP-y woman finishing her purchase: Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

Fat-Free Brownies

Have you guys ever seen the pink No-Pudge Brownies box on the shelf before? It is by far the best tasting brownie mix I’ve ever used. Compared to a regular box of brownie mix from Pillsbury, it was dried out and tasted too sugary. The heavenly pink box made super moist and crispy edged brownies and it only required 2/3 cup of yogurt. Don’t stray from the regular yogurt though, my...

Recipe: Hacking Trader Joe's Boxed Cake Mixes!

vegansaurus: What up fools. Okay, this is some world-class, grade-A advice that I’m about to give you. I’m going to take three things for granted (because I know they’re hella true): You’re poor - or at least you think you’re poor and I’m hear to tell you that you’re not poor if you can afford to live in the bay area but whatever pity party it up, i ain’t your mom. You’re hella lazy. Don’t...

Day in Food: You're a Jerk

nutritionista: When I think of jerky, I think of a) trucker gas stations and b) woodsy folk (do with that what you will). But when I saw this at Trader Joe’s, I had to try it. It’s made from organic beef raised without added hormones or antibiotics. Not to mention, as is the case with most TJ’s products, I recognize all the ingredients. Though I doubt it’s made from grass-fed beef, I’m willing...

Sunday Morning Delight!

vegenista: I love cooking a healthy, hearty breakfast on Sunday mornings. It is the best way to begin a lovely, lazy day. Lately, I’ve been into veggie scrambles, but I woke up this morning with a sweet tooth. It’s also been a chilly, rainy weekend, so I wanted something heart warming & comforting. I bought a canister of Trader Joe’s “Quick Cook Steel Cut Oats” a while back & cooked up...
