Trader Joe’s Seasonings
I could seriously just roam the Trader Joe’s seasonings aisle for hours. Of course, every aisle seems to have something I can’t live without. Frozen veggies in an exotic sauce, chocolate from Brazil, some kind of fish I’ve never heard of before… the list goes on and on. And while I can (and do)… Continue reading Trader Joe’s Seasonings
