Trader Joe's "Garlic & Herb Pizza Dough"

Rating 6/10
Okay at first I wasn’t too fond of this product, but it really grew on me. I think my issue is that I didn’t have flour or a rolling pin, therefore it was sticking everywhere and was hella uneven. It cooks in around 10 minutes which is nice, and is actually really easy if you have the right tools hehe.

I put buffalo sauce and a pepper jack cheese blend on my pizza yum!! I think next time I should use a real marinara or pesto sauce because the buffalo sauce was really liquidy.


This dough was $1.19 (in the hummus section)!! Usually premade pizzas are like $7. I’m too poor for that, especially when I’ll eat it in 2 sittings. The cheese I got was around $3-$4 (stay tuned for that blog post) and the buffalo sauce was $2.50ish. In the end it will cost around the same as a premade pizza but there is obviously leftover cheese, sauce and dough! The ingredients last a lot longer in the long run.


The pizza dough can also be put in the freezer yay! The shelflife is only a few days because TJ tries to eliminate as many preservatives as possible, so I read that you can put it in the freezer so it doesn’t go to waste.


It actually tasted really good, but I just didn’t execute it the way I hoped haha. When I cook my leftover dough, I’m going to keep it plain and use it more as a soft pita to pair with some pasta or something!


I defs want to try it again and should probably get a rolling pin.

Trader Joe's: Hot & Spicy Chicken Wings

Image
Rating: Eh, 5.5/10 Boo I wasn’t thrilled with these. Honestly, I think a pro-con list is necessary: PRO CON This was a really nice alternative to driving all the way to Buffalo Wild Wings It only came with 12 wings It was only $5.99 $5.99 is a good price, but I’d rather get boneless wings at BWW They were spicy and had great flavor There are “multiple” servings yet I ate all 12 BONE-IN WINGS SUCK.. #teamboneless Overall, I probably wouldn’t buy these again. Yeah $5.99 is a good price, but for all the work you have to do to get the meat off the bone, it’s not worth it lol. I prefer my Thursday nights at BWW with boneless wings.

Trader Joe's "Breakfast Trek Mix"

Image
Rating: 6/10 Let me start by asking, what the hell is trek mix? I’m just going to assume it’s another word for trail mix. I enjoy this, but I don’t need it in my life. The TRAIL mix consists of granola balls, almonds, dried cranberries and yogurt chips. The flavors are great, between the saltiness of the almonds and the sweetness of the yogurt chips. But, it doesn’t do enough for me. This is perfect for a snack… a small snack. If you’re at Disneyland and eat this thinking you’ll no longer feel hungry, then you’re stupid and guess what? Still hungry. I wouldn’t recommend this for a legit snack to keep you full, but more of a snack when you barely start getting hungry. I eat these in my classes, so I’m not too obnoxious bringing full ass meals into a lecture hall. What is great about these, are that they are individually packaged! There are 10 servings individually wrapped, which is perfect if you are on the go. Hmm, I actually never have looked at the nutritional facts un...

Trader Joe's "Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice"

Image
YES YES YES 10/10               This is amazing! I’ve read that Trader Joe’s carries really good Indian food, so I wanted to try it for myself. I wouldn’t consider myself a lover of Indian food… usually. But this meal made me think otherwise. The microwave instructions are more intense than the typical frozen meal, but it is worth it for something that tastes so authentic. You’re supposed to put it in the microwave for 5 minutes on “defrost mode”. Then you’ll cook it regularly for 4 more minutes.  One of the things I love is that the meat/sauce and rice are seperated. So don’t stress about soggy rice! The portion of this is so big. It is such a realistic size for a meal, unlike Healthy Choice meals lol. You know how you get frozen meals and the chicken is  nonexistent? Well don’t be scared of that her e. There are hu ge pieces of juicy chicken in a pool of yummy sauce. And the basmati rice is super ( I hate this word aaaaa ) ...
