Honey Mustard & Onion Seasoned Pretzel Pieces

My family has been doing our share of snacking during this stay-at-home time. Lucky for us, Trader Joe’s recently released these seasoned pretzel and they’re deliciously addictive. The pretzels are crunching, hold tons of seasoning and, for the most part, are about the size of a quarter. Unfortunately, there are so many pieces smaller than dime that I’m left wishing for more larger pieces. The seasoning itself is tangy and a bit salty so it checks a lot of the boxes that make my taste buds happy. The bag is a good size too at 12 oz for $2.99.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Hawaiian Shirts – After trying these for the first time, I couldn’t wait to get back to TJ’s to pick up two more bags. The taste is exactly what I’d expect, tangy, sweet, and a little salty on a crunchy pretzel. They miss out on the fifth star due to the abundance of tiny pieces which I find messy and less enjoyable to eat than the larger chunks.

Banh Mi Inspired Noodle Bowl

Generally, I’m a fan of the quick and easy salads in the Trader Joe’s refrigerated section. The Five Spice Chicken and Noodle Salad and the Harvest Chicken Salad are excellent choices. However, this new Banh Mi Inspired Noodle Bowl is another level. The flavors and textures bring a flood of deliciousness with each bite. The dressing is an excellent and sweet compliment to the medium-spicy heat and crunch of the other ingredients.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Hawaiian Shirts – This salad hits me in all the right taste buds; it’s bursting with flavor and textures. I’ll just as happily enjoy this for a quick lunch or take it to enjoy as a meal on a flight.
