Smooth and Mellow Blend Coffee
Smooth and Mellow Blend Coffee from Trader Joe's is a nice middle -of -the -road coffee for those of us who like to drink a more milder coffee. This is our second can of this coffee, as it is starting to get colder out I guess I am drinking more .... I have really been enjoying hot coffee in the AM as well a cup of tea. hmmm.... We first were introduced to the Smooth and Mellow via the sample table. (Don't you just love those samples!) We tried it one morning and thought .... hey, this is really good coffee! ...

Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Covered Cranberries
Go ahead, we dare you! These are just fantastic, chocolaty treats from Trader Joe’s. We first spotted them during the holidays but they are still available in the stores now. They look like a chocolate covered peanut or raisin, all different shapes and shiny on the outside. But it is for the insides that you will love these little treats. Each bite of dark chocolate is wrapped around a dried cranberry, making a wonderful mixture between the sweet rich dark chocolate, and the tangy and chewy texture of the cranberries. We have used them in a number of ways, but our favorite is straight ...
Nuts About Nuts at Trader Joe’s
Let’s be frank. We love nuts! In fact, we love all kinds of nuts-all shapes and sizes. Trader Joe’s has helped with our nut love, or rather obsession, with a great selection of nuts both toasted and raw as well as a pre-made nut and fruit snack mixes. Two of our favorite nuts are the toasted pecan halves and the Ballpark peanuts. First, we start with the pecans. Trader Joe’s sells pecan halves that are lightly toasted and salted and are great in a variety of recipes, or just in handfuls right out of the package. We love to add these pecans to ...
