"one pot sauce" news and stories

I shopped, I brought home, I cooked, I photographed. And you'd like to know, wouldn't you? What I thought of Trader Joe's new product: Mexican-style chili One Pot Sauce. ("Just add Meat or Chicken" - isn't chicken "meat"? Just curious.)

Well, it was o.k. Maybe I'm not a big fan of Mexican-style chili. Maybe... I don't get the need for this product. I sautéed my ground turkey (completely violating the suggestions of beef or chicken), I added in a bit of chipotle pepper for extra spice, I stirred in the cup of water and kidney beans on cue. I even added the optional corn (though not canned corn! ick. I used frozen).

Peak into my grocery bag from last night:

I went to Trader Joe's last night to get a couple of things for dinner. But there were so many good things on the new products shelf! I picked up one. Then another. And then I figured, why not? I'm doing it for you. I'll be reviewing some delicious (or maybe not so much) things including:

• Chocolate-flavored tea
• Mexican Chili from the new One Pot Sauce
• Decadent chocolate frosting
• Spiced gingerbread cookies, chocolate-covered
