Jun 6, 2025 6:00 PM EDTA few weeks ago, Trader Joe’s announced they were making a Dubai-style chocolate bar. As a digital food creator, recipe developer and Trader Joe’s enthusiast, suddenly my texts, DMs and group chats were on fire. “Have you tried it yet?”…“Is this real?”… “You’ll have to try this on Trader No-s or Trader Go-s,” my crew exclaimed.

I’ve never been one to pass up a new Trader Joe’s find and I usually double down when it involves cocktails, so when I spotted the new Trader Joe's Organic Margarita Mixer on the shelf, two bottles nearly jumped into my cart. With Cinco de Mayo coming up, the warmer weather creeping in and the patio chairs finally power-washed of pollen, it felt like the right time to run a little taste test.

Chef notesMy husband’s favorite meal is a classic tortellini Bolognese, and while I love making it for him, I don’t always have the time for a traditional slow-simmered version. I needed a way to bring all that rich, hearty flavor to the table in a fraction of the time — without compromising what makes it so comforting and delicious.
