These are my favorite Trader Joe’s granola bars! Not really a breakfast bar due to all the chocolate, but yummy for dessert or a snack. 4 pineapples! My only complaint is that I swear these bars are getting smaller. The bars are now about an inch shorter than the foil wrapper. Perhaps this was necessary […]
Trader Joe’s Squash & Quinoa Salad
This is one of three refrigerated salads (Country Italian and Southwest are the other two) that I look for every week. 4 pineapples for an interesting and filling salad!
