🎄Exciting Trader Joe’s 2023 Holiday Items: Samples, Grocery Haul, & Chip Comparison❣️

Hi Geeks! Welcome to my channel. Halloween and spooky season is now over and we are officially preparing for Thanksgiving and kicking off the holiday season. So let's go shopping at Trader Joe's and check out all the new seasonal items and returning items that arrived this week. Also stay tuned until the end of the video for some samples and a grocery haul. Always starting out in the front in the plant and flower section. This is a mini rose plant for $5.99. And here are some pretty potted flowers in red and pink. Now heading straight into the new items section. The Organe Organic Protein Powder arrived last week and it comes in both chocolate and vanilla for $14.99. A new flavor of Frooze Balls Caramel Chocolate Peanut Butter for $1.99 has arrived last week. The Baking Mat for $4.99. The Sardinian Baked Pizza Snacks. And for the newest arrival is the Organic Conversation Olive Trio with three different varieties listed right on the front of the jar. Trader Joe's always has such a good selection of olives like all throughout the year but especially during the holiday season. There's a lot more choices and options available like the Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives that usually come out around this time. And this jar is $3.49. And remember there was also a new pasta that came out. And this is new, the Christmas Sprinkles. So the bag in this video looks kind of big but it's actually on the smaller side. So it's not a huge commitment and you could decorate your Christmas cookies with this or cupcakes or you can add it to ice cream bread which I think I might try making. It's only supposed to be ice cream and flour and baking powder. And another new item that came in is the Crunchy Chili Cranberry Orange and Onion. And just a reminder there's two other flavors. The original one which is the Crunchy Chili Onion and then a jalapeno one which is great with avocados. You could use this to flavor your meats or someone even suggested meatballs. I think it might be good even with some cheese and like a thick crusty bread. This is $4.49. The Pumpkin Madeline Cookies are still here and they're $3.29. The Teeny Tiny Apple Pies are still here for $4.99. And this is new, the Chocolate Dipped Danish Cookies. The pieces aren't that big but doesn't that look so yummy? There's two almond triangles, two marzipan hats, and both have like a chocolate bottom layer. Also there's two coconut macaroons. This is $5.99 a box. And it is $5.99 for the box. So basically a dollar a piece which seems kind of reasonable. And they are 180 calories. Let's look at the fat. It's 10 grams of fat and the carbs are 19 grams. 13 grams of sugar. Also another fan favorite is back, the Gingerbread Sandwich Cookies. These I'm actually not a fan of. They're way too sweet for me. The you know added sugar on top and the gingerbread flavor is very mild. Almost like molasses cookies more than gingerbread. So I tried it last year for the first time because everyone raves about it and they said they have a cream cheese filling. But actually what I tasted was a vanilla frosting icing instead of cream cheese. They were good though, it's just not what I was expecting. And that's $5.49 a box. And the Almond Danish Kringle is back. I love everything about this Kringle except for the like frosting that they put on top which I find it way too sweet so I usually scrape it off. But this is such a treat around the holidays. It's great with a cup of coffee. And the price has gone up. It's $9.99 now. And the Gluten-Free Pumpkin Streusel Muffins are still here. That's another one of my favorites. Another look at the Pumpkin Madeline Cookies and Pumpkin Oat Milk is still here. And the Half Moon Cookies, they are delicious especially the cookie part. Again I don't really care for the frosting on top. If you're noticing a theme it just makes it a little bit too sweet. And the frosting part actually comes off pretty easily from the cookie. So if you're in the mood for like a soft plain cookie then you might want to give these a try. And then the Sea Salt Brownie Bites are here as well. And the Olive Bread, this is my favorite. This is $3.49. You just have to warm it up for like, I'm not even joking, 10-15 seconds and it comes out so soft. I'll use this to make sandwiches or have it as a side for soup or salad. And you really don't even need anything, just a little bit of butter or really good olive oil like Ina Garten would say. And this is $3.49 for the bag. And the Holiday Meats have arrived. This is the Fully Cooked Spiral Sliced Uncured Ham and that is $5.99 for the pound. And here are the nutrition facts. Two ounces are 160 calories, 11 grams of protein, 3 grams of carbs, 3 grams of sugar, and 7 grams of fat. And here are the ingredients if you want to take a look. Now moving on to one of my favorite Thanksgiving items. It is the Brined Bone in Half Turkey Breast with Garlic Herb Butter. This is so good and really flavorful. It is a tad salty though, but to have a fully cooked option that you just heat and serve, this is so great because a lot of times, a lot of people I feel like don't make turkeys anymore for Thanksgiving and we usually spend it with friends or family members who don't eat turkey. So I always pick up a bag each season because I am a traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner type of gal and I have to have it so this just makes it really convenient. But I am paying for convenience because it is a little pricey. It's $9.99 a pound. What do you guys make for Thanksgiving dinner? Do you make turkeys or roasts or how about this? The Balsamic Glazed Bone in Beef Short Ribs. This is fully cooked in a balsamic glaze. Here are the nutrition facts. 310 calories, 20 grams of protein, and 13 grams of carbs, 11 grams of sugar. And here's another new idea possibly to add to the holiday menu, the braised pork shoulder in a fig and apricot sauce. And this is also fully cooked. All you have to do is heat and serve. And this was actually quite a heavy box. And here are the nutrition facts. 5 ounces are 220 calories, 13 grams of sugar, 21 grams of protein, 16 grams of carbs, all found in the refrigerated section. And the antipasto assortment is back. This one has pepper coated Italian dry salami, mixed olives, mild salami nuggets, and asiago cheese. Someone mentioned that last year it had unexpected cheddar cheese cubes in it and I can't remember. But either way, this is a great starter kit for a charcuterie board. You can keep it as is and make it a low carb keto board or you could jazz it up and add like fruit, nuts, crackers, maybe a fruit spread. And this is $11.99 for the box. Also back is the spicy uncured charcuterie selection. And this one has a variety of three different types. Spicy coppa, spicy sopressa salami, and spicy capicola. And seven slices are 150 calories, 10 grams of fat, 2 grams of carbs, 1 gram of sugar, and 12 grams of protein. And this is $8.99. And I'm not sure if this is a staple where you guys live, but at my store this is definitely a seasonal item. The southern green blends which includes mustard, turnip, collards, spinach. There's a recipe on the back of the bag where it says add it with some andouille chicken sausage. This is a good variety green mix and so I'll probably pick it up at some point and add it to like my soups. And this is $2.49 for the bag. Also one of my favorite dips is back. This only comes out around the holidays and this is the blue cheese roasted pecan dip. So there are little roasted pecan bits in it and that just adds to the yumminess of this dip because it gives like a textural bite. This is really flavorful and pungent. It does taste like blue cheese so you have to be a fan. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. And here are the ingredients. I like to pair it with the Thanksgiving stuffing kettle chips or the olive bread that I showed you guys earlier. And this is $3.99 for the container. And this is a new one, the unexpected cheddar cheese holiday cheer. So this has dried cranberries in it, a hint of cinnamon, and Riesling wine. Two tablespoons are 90 calories and 4 grams of protein, 3 grams of sugar, 5 grams of carbs, and 190 milligrams of sodium. And this is $4.99. Also back is the Syrah soaked Toscano cheese dip and spread. This is very flavorful and a sharp tasting cheese spread. It tastes exactly like the Syrah soaked Toscano cheese in the hard form. Let me know what you guys would pair this with. I just paired it with crackers last year and it was really yummy. This is $4.99 as well. And the cranberry sauces are back. So in a previous video we were talking about cranberry sauces and it looks like a lot of you make your own which is absolutely amazing. Thank you all for sharing your recipes. They sound delicious and I might actually try to make it my own this year because I feel inspired by all the comments that you guys have left. But for those who buy their cranberry sauce, which is what I usually do, I usually buy the jarred one. Or you can buy the fresh one here. They have the plain one or the cranberry orange one. The nutrition facts are pretty much the same and they're both $3.99. The black truffle alfredo pasta sauce is back. This has grana padano and pecorino romano cheese. And here are the nutrition facts. 80 calories for a quarter cup. 5 grams of carbs. Less than 1 gram of protein. Less than 1 gram of sugar. And here are the ingredients. And this is $3.99. Also the cacio e pepe. I think this one is now year-round. I could be wrong but nonetheless it's another pasta sauce option. I don't really buy jarred alfredo sauces anymore because I've been burned too many times. I feel like it always comes out gummy and way too salty. So if you have any recommendations, please let me know. And the truffle spicy pasta sauce is back. Here are the nutrition facts. 45 calories for a quarter cup. 3 grams of sugar and 5 grams of carbs. Now that we are in the holiday season, the truffle items are just gonna continue to keep coming out. Also back is the truffle oil duo. So there's two kinds. The olive oil with black truffle and olive oil with white truffle. This could totally be a good gift for a foodie friend of yours. You could use it as a stocking stuffer. And this is $9.99. And the pitted amarina cherries are back with stems and syrup. You could use this in cocktails or on ice cream sundaes. Two cherries are 90 calories. 17 grams of sugar. 2 grams of protein. 23 grams of carbs. For those that buy this, please let us know what you pair it with other than desserts and drinks. And the maple cranberry orange spread is back. Doesn't this combination sound so delicious? Maple cranberry orange. I was really tempted to get this last year, but the same thing happened where I bought the pumpkin butter and pumpkin spread. And so I just didn't have a need for it. But I think this would go really great on like a turkey sandwich. Like a leftover Thanksgiving sandwich. Please let me know if I'm missing out here by not trying this. Another fan favorite, the chocolate peppermint loaf and baking mix is back. I was so impressed with the pumpkin bread mix that I now want to try all the seasonal baking mixes. So what I like about these bread mixes are that you can make either a bread or a loaf or a muffin or cake or cookies. And all you have to do is adjust the amount of eggs you use. So for a loaf, you would use one large egg, one cup water, half a cup of oil or butter. But if you wanted to make cookies out of this mix, you would use two large eggs instead. And this is $3.49 for the box. And the gingerbread cake and cookie mix is also back with crystallized ginger pieces. I feel like people either love gingerbread or hate gingerbread. So let me know if you are team gingerbread or not. Or are you a convert like me? I used to not like gingerbread at all, but now I really enjoy it every winter or the holiday season. And that's mostly because I was influenced by my sister who loves gingerbread. And I would just take a piece of her cookie here and there every year, and then gradually just became hooked onto it. And the mix is $2.99 a box. I'm surprised that the pumpkin yogurt is still here because the eggnog yogurt has just arrived. And this is made with whole milk. This is another one of those items that I stocked up on last year so much that I got sick of it, but I'm totally ready for it now. I paired the gingerbread mug cookie toppers with this yogurt, and it's such a good combination because it's a little bit of a crunch. So it's kind of like my pseudo granola. This is definitely more of a dessert than like a healthy snack option, and that's $0.99. And also the eggnogs are back. So there's light eggnog, and that is 110 calories. Let me know, do you guys start drinking eggnog after Thanksgiving? Do you guys start early? I love eggnog and just really need one cup for the entire year, but I never get it because there's no way I can finish all this. So that's why the eggnog yogurt is kind of perfect for me because I don't have to commit to like a carton like this, but I still get the eggnog flavor. And they both run $3.49 for the carton. And here is a new drink I think, or maybe it's new packaging. Agua de Kiefer. So this is orange peach mango, 30 calories. And here are the ingredients. Very clean and straightforward. And this is $3.99. If these drinks weren't so expensive, I would totally get this instead of like sparkling water. So I'll usually buy my kombucha or probiotic drinks from Costco just because it's a better deal. And the root beer one is also $3.99. The chicken and chimichurri empanadas, I feel like I haven't seen this in a while. Honestly, it's probably a staple item that I have overlooked, but this is one of the newer items in recent years. And one empanada is 250 calories, and you get two in the box, and I think they're $4.49. There's the pupusas that came out earlier this year, and the Jamaican style beef patties. This always catches my eye because the box is so colorful. And one piece is 440 calories, and it looks like you get two pieces. So it's not a big commitment if you don't like it, but I've heard only good reviews. And this is a year-round item, and this is $4.49. And the puff pastry is back. So I recently became aware of a TikTok viral recipe with Trader Joe's puff pastry. And speaking of TikTok, I just recently got on the bandwagon and started an account. So if you guys want to follow me on there too, I would love to see you over there as well. And here are the instructions and the thawing instructions. And this is $4.99 for the box. Also, the pie crusts are back, and they contain two pieces. Here are the nutrition facts. And let me know, do you have to roll this pie crust out, or is it already formed for you? I'm assuming that you just kind of got to lay it flat. But let us know if you purchased it and baked with it and how it turned out. And then of course, the gluten-free pie shells are also here. That's $4.49 for the pie crust and $4.99 for the gluten-free ones. And this is one of my favorite pies, the Nantucket-style cranberry pie. I'm telling you, for the frozen cakes and pies at Trader Joe's, I feel like it's a lot better than the pre-made bakery items sometimes. Not all, but overall, I think if I had to choose, I might pick the frozen items because they're that good. So this isn't a traditional pie with like a wet filling. So this reminds me more of like a pastry more so than a pie, but it's really delicious. And it's $6.49. Last year, when the samples started to come back, I got to sample this, the crispy crunchy peanut butter cookies. They're really good and really taste like a peanut butter cookie. They're hard and dense, almost like a biscotti. And I never get around to buying it because of all the new and seasonal items that keep coming out. And that's $4.49. And the way more chocolate chip cookies. These look good too. Actually, all the cookies that come in these like plastic clear containers look so good to me. I used to get the Dunkers all the time and this is $4.99. And the five seed almond bars. I think some stores have this all year round, but in my store, it comes and goes. Let's see. It contains flax, poppy, sunflower, sesame, and pumpkin seeds. Again, this is another item that I always want to try and get, but then I end up just bypassing it. One bar is a hundred calories, which isn't bad considering all the seeds that are in it. I thought that the calories would be a little bit higher. And the chocolate almond biscotti is always placed next to them. And these are 110 calories, 10 grams of sugar, two grams of protein. And moving along to the next item, which is a newly packaged item. They are the twisted cookie sticks dipped in Belgian dark chocolate. And here are the ingredients. So this isn't a new item, but the packaging is just different. And I'll show you guys in just a bit on what the old packaging looks like. And the cocoa baton wafer cookies. These are really yummy. If you take a look inside the cocoa, it's kind of like whereas the pumpkin baton spice cookies, they have a dry filling. So here's the old packaging of the dark chocolate cookie sticks. Let me just show you guys nutrition facts and ingredients are exactly the same. And they are 199. Earlier this year, Jojo's came out with new packaging and a new recipe. So before the calories would be 140 calories for two cookies. And now there are 120 calories. Let me know if you tried the old recipe and the new one and which one you guys prefer. And also the mini stroopwafels. I think this is a year round item, at least the mini size ones, because the larger ones come out during the holidays. I actually just got to sample this not too long ago at Costco. And I forgot how good these were. They almost taste better than what I remembered. And they are 349. Also the fig cookies have made a return back to my store. I for that. And these are really tasty. I think they're actually better than fig Newtons. They're a little bit softer, a little bit more thicker and a little bit more puffy. Whereas fig Newtons are a little bit more flattened and compact and dense. These are I think 199 or 249. And I'm just checking in the ice cream section to see if there's any seasonal ice creams that are back specifically looking for the gingerbread ice cream, which is one of my favorites, but I haven't seen it yet. And now for all the holiday items that just arrived, starting with the minty flavored cocoa truffles. Four pieces are 200 calories and this is 12 grams of sugar. And that is 299. The boozy little chocolate truffles are back and they are 699 for the box. The sea salt caramels for 229. The hot cocoa polar bear is 199. And the chocolate covered figs or bonbons look so good to me. And this would also make a really nice gift. One piece is 60 calories and you can see a picture of what it looks like on the inside. I'm not sure what the price is on this. It might be anywhere from like 899 to 999. And the polar bear hot cocoa bomb. All these hot cocoa bombs are just so stinking cute, but I feel like they look better than they taste. At least that's what a lot of the reviews have said. But it makes for like a fun, cute activity, maybe for you and the kids. And you could just watch it melt more so than drinking it. And it is 199. The dark chocolate sea salt caramels, the larger box is back. So they sell a smaller box. Also, it comes out around the holidays and I think they even sell it year round and it has like four pieces in it. But the bigger box is 229. And circling back to the boozy little chocolate truffles. It contains London gin, scotch, whiskey, navy rum, and prosecco. 170 calories for six truffles. So it's about 28 calories per truffle. And that's 699 for the box. Moving along the cachet that's Belgian chocolate for 999. Bocce, that is chocolate covered hazelnuts. And the Belgian truffle cookie gift box is also back and it comes in red and gold. Two pieces are 140 calories and that is 449 for the box. Also the chocolate passports. It has Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Ghana, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Sao Tome, and Madagascar. And on the inside I think there's a little booklet to tell you like what to pair with these different chocolates like wine. Now here's a new fun item. This is the milk chocolate coin and it says yes on it. Do we need this? No. But do we want it? Yes. For size reference, this is five inches in diameter. So it's a good piece of chocolate and makes for a great stocking stuffer. Honestly, you don't have to go anywhere to get stocking stuffers other than Trader Joe's. And here is the festive chocolate collection. It has made a return. So it's the gingerbread, doughnuts, some pastries, a snowman, a Christmas sweater, and a gift. And it contains dark milk and white chocolate. Two pieces are 150 calories and there's about three and a half servings. 14 grams of sugar per serving and that's $3.99 for the box. Jingle jangle pretzel twists are back. These are basically peanut butter covered cookies and that's like the flavor. And then you have little accents of like the candy coated chocolate pieces and Jojo's. And one pretzel is 150 calories and 13 grams of sugar. I was really surprised by the texture of these pretzels. I thought it was going to be like a hard sourdough dense pretzel but it was actually really light and crispy. And these are $3.99 for the box. And the peppermint pretzel swims, they have made a return. The peppermint creams, these are a huge hit. I know people buy boxes and boxes of this every year so I kind of want to see what the hype is about. But essentially they're York peppermint patties, right? But like tastes a lot better I'm assuming. Two pieces are 110 calories and whoa 20 grams of sugar. So that's a lot. So one piece is 10 grams of sugar. So I might actually pass on that then. The peppermint bark is $10.99 for the tin. This is another one of those items that I want to get but I can't commit to this large of a size. I just want one little piece. Do you know what I mean? Which raises the question, let me know if you guys like a smaller item package or larger size. I guess it all depends on your size of your family too or if you live alone or if you're single. And the salty honey toffee milk chocolate covered crackers, these are also another fan favorite. I got to sample it last year and this is a lot of chocolate and just a little bit of cracker and it is very sweet. One cracker is 120 calories and 12.5 grams of sugar. And the English toffee can is back for $10.99. Also back is the Belgian cookie trio. This came out last year for the first time. This contains a butter biscuit enrobed in dark chocolate, almond thins and waffle cookies half dipped in dark chocolate. Four cookies are 170 calories. If you're not into chocolate, wait for the springtime because they have another Belgian cookie like trio assortment that doesn't include chocolate. Another fan favorite, the mini dark chocolate mint stars are back. I know a lot of people love this. I love the size of it and love the texture but the flavor I'm not a huge fan of. It kind of tastes a little bit like toothpaste to me. I know it's a little weird but it's because it has more of a spearmint flavor than a peppermint flavor and spearmint just always reminds me of gum or toothpaste. And the marzipan stolen is back. This is $4.99 and it comes in this pretty yellow box. So every year I feel like they maybe changed the company and this is 340 calories for one sixth of a cake. So before COVID they used to sell the individually wrapped mini size marzipan stolens and I would always get them. They were like the perfect size but I haven't seen it in years now. And the frosted or sugar glazed gingerbread cookies are back. These are traditionally German cookies and they are on the softer side, almost like cake-like. And the chocolate covered ones are also back. There was no price label but if I recall correctly it was like around $3.49 last year. And the mini gingerbread people, this is back also. The Danish butter cookies in the tin are back $5.49. The chocolate cream panettone is back for $12.99. And the baton lovers quartet is back. This is geared more towards chocolate lovers and there are four different flavors. Chocolatey orange, cookies and cream, cocoa, and hazelnut. And let's take a look at the nutrition facts. Two pieces are 110 calories which is pretty standard for the baton wafer cookies. And here are the ingredients and this is $7.99. The shortbread cookies are back. These are pure butter shortbread cookies and that is $4.49. And the nutrition facts, one piece is 100 calories and 3 grams of sugar. The mini panettone is also back. A great stocking stuffer or just a little treat for yourself. It is 360 calories and 21 grams of sugar and this is $1.99. And we have the larger size panettone which can feed the entire family or you can bring it to a holiday party. Let me know for you panettone lovers how you like to eat it. Do you like to eat it as is? Do you put butter on it? Do you put jam? And this is $6.99. The advent calendars for dogs and cats are also back. I just want to let you know for the cat calendar it is the same treat for all 24 days. I'm not sure about the dog treats but I'm assuming it's the same and they are both $7.49. And the red current hand soap, this is the foaming hand soap that I've been talking about in the previous video. I didn't get a chance to smell it but I'm hoping that it smells festive. And this is $2.99. Taking a look at the candles, the honey crisp apple is still here. The vanilla pumpkin, they are $3.99. And then this is one of my favorite candles. I know this just seems like boring and I bypassed this many many years but don't be like me and just try it. Trust me, this is smokeless, dripless. It's just such an easy candle. It burns pretty because it doesn't drip everywhere. It's unscented and it burns forever. The burn time is 80 hours and so it will last a while and it just looks pretty for a warm cozy winter holiday vibe. And also this would make a great gift, although you would have to preface it and explain why it's such a great gift. And this is $3.99. There's still some pumpkins left over but now the holiday garlands are here. Here is the felted wool berries. This is $19.99. It adds like a nice pop of color but I do think it's a little bit pricey. And then here are the garlands. So there's a blue one for like a winter look or for Hanukkah decorations. This would also be great. These are nine feet long and they are 100% New Zealand wool and hand felted in Nepal. And if it gets dirty you can spot clean it with a damp cloth. And there's also a gray and white one. Also there's a neutral gray and white one if you don't want loud colors. This can also be pretty. And then I went back on another day to find that there is a multicolored one. So there's a traditional like green, white, and red one. And these are $9.99. Here's a new item for cat owners. We have a festive pretty multicolored garland for the cats. And so there is there's a little goldfish on it and a mouse with the tail. So I'm sure your kitties will love it and won't get into the other garland that I showed you. And it looks like they have another set on the bottom. Another mouse and a goldfish. And this is $4.99. Here's another returning item. The handwoven recycled newspaper basket. You could use this as a gift basket and add Trader Joe's items in it or you could store small gifts in it. If you have creative ideas on how else to use this basket please let us know down in the comments. Also for those holiday parties where you're bringing wine over, here are wine gift bags for you for $0.69 which is a great deal and cheaper than the dollar store even. And now sharing some of the samples I tried this week. The conzi apples were paired with mascarpone cheese. The conzi apples were surprisingly really good. They are definitely on the tart side but it's also sweet so it kind of balances it out and it is crunchy. The mascarpone cheese was slightly sweet and mild so it just made a really good pairing. And then on another day I got the dark chocolate covered peanut butter cups. These are the iconic living legend treats of Trader Joe's. It is so so good. It just has like a thick layer of chocolate and a generous amount of peanut butter filling. And I love that they have the individual size smaller bags for $0.99. I usually see them around checkout or you can find it above the freezer section. So that's it for shopping and samples this week. Now let's get straight into this week's haul. So this week was a lighter haul because I'm still working on the items from last video's haul and stuff from Costco and Sam's Club. Last week I got the Thanksgiving stuffing chips so this week I switched it up and got the horseradish and chives chips. These have easily become one of my favorites so the top three are the Thanksgiving stuffing chips, the horseradish chips, and the Carolina Gold BBQ chips. Also the ghost pepper kettle chips are really good despite their name. They're not really spicy but I don't get them too often because they always come in like such small pieces. Speaking of which, the horseradish chips used to come in such small pieces that I just wouldn't buy it anymore but starting last year the chip size was bigger and this year it's also bigger and so I'm totally pleased. But this year the Thanksgiving stuffing chips are now so tiny. So if you look at the difference between the two sizes, the horseradish chips they are like a normal size chip and maybe even a little bit smaller and so I don't know if I got a weird batch but either way these small pieces irk me so much. Anyway moving right along to the organic shredded kale. I buy this every week. I saute it in the morning with mushrooms and have a runny egg over it and I add it to smoothies or soups. Picked up some eggs because I totally ran out and I have just been waiting to try the truffle glaze. I finally ran out of all my balsamic glaze and so I think this will be really yummy on like a caprese sandwich or salad. A little drizzle maybe even over pasta. Speaking of pasta, I got the new bow tie pasta and I also picked up my favorite toscano cheese which is soaked in chardonnay wine. It only comes out during the holidays and it just it's a nice sharp cheese to like pair with crackers. Got bananas of course. Although I wasn't really in the mood for the white bean chicken chili soup this week, I got it because I wanted to pair with the organic corn chip dippers. This is my first time buying it. I sampled this a couple months ago, the elote one, and surprisingly liked it a lot more than I thought I would and that's because I don't really like the frito-lay's corn chips because of that like strong almost like burnt smoky flavor that it has. And these do have it but it's a lot lighter but the texture and crunch of these corn chip dippers is like on another level and for me texture sometimes trumps flavor and this is definitely like a texture snack for me. Like I love the crunch. Very very addicting. Speaking of addicting, this is another favorite addicting snack of mine. The tiniest chocolate chip cookies. They're only seven grams of sugar so I don't feel too terrible about eating them. And that's it for this week. Thank you so much for watching. Please subscribe if you're new.
