Here’s another good whole bean coffee from Central America and Trader Joe’s. This is labeled as both fair trade and organic. The whole beans are given an extra dark roast.

The key word in this recipe is With. Resist any temptation to make it in your coffee maker.
This will help explain why almost all cooking directions for oatmeal are misleading. It will also help eliminate 72.3% of expletives heard around breakfast time.

Edamame and lentil attracted me to the package. The taste kept me in the package. And, by the way, these are gluten-free.
Choceur Blueberry Acai Dark Chocolate Covered Superberries – Food Review – ALDI

It’s not really dark chocolate. But it’s not milk chocolate either. Here’s the reason, it’s made in the USA. But it’s still good. Too good!
Why does the USA matter? Because, the USA seems to have an aversion to dark chocolate. Other Choceur products I’ve tried were imported from Germany where dark chocolate is typically more robust. While disappointed that the chocolate wasn’t what I was expecting, these are still very good. In fact so good it’s relatively easy to eat the whole 7 ounce package in a short time. At 170 calories per listed serving, and 5 servings per package, that’s 850 calories – about 1/2 of the total calories most of us need for an entire day! So ration yourself.

Trader Joe’s Breakfast Blend
This is perhaps the worst coffee at Trader Joe’s. Harsh and not tasting much like coffee at all, this breakfast blend may explain why so many people skip breakfast.
ALDI – Simply Nature Organic Quick Cook Steel Cut Oats – Food Review

Half between steel cut and rolled oaks, these oats have a chewy texture surrounded by a very thick creamy ‘soup’ . It’s sort of a best of both worlds approach. The package also carries the USDA Organic seal.

This is another (new?) variation on a theme. One more amazing value ($2.49) in a dessert you’re unlikely to find anywhere else.

It’s not homemade, but it ain’t bad either. And unfortunately, it’s better than some we’ve had in restaurants.
Trader Joe’s – English Coastal Cheddar – Food Review

Trader Joe’s English Coastal Cheddar
March 18, 2016
This is a very fine cheddar cheese imported from England (Dorset coast).
The cheese has a pale off-white color, not the usual yellow color found in US produced cheddar. This is not a “hard” cheese. It’s relatively easy to cut and a little crumbly. The cheese has a nice nutty flavor with a little bit of a tang. It’s not a sharp taste as might be found in a New York sharp cheddar, but still a very flavorful cheese. It reminds me a little of an aged Gouda, but not as hard. Similar to an aged Gouda you can feel (and hear) a few little cheese crystals crunch between your molars as you chew. Because of the pale color it’s difficult to see them in the cheese. I could easily get to like this. And I do.
