I get so nostalgic reading through the posts from this year. Oh the feels. The memories of post-nightshift trips, trips with friends, trips for no reason at all. Am I sad to see 2016 go? Not really. Time hasn't passed too quickly or too slowly for me. I have much to look forward to in the new year, but it's nice to take a moment to reflect and recount the blessings of the year. And what better way to recall 2016 than by Trader Joe's products? :D
#1: Somewhat Spicy Dill Flavored Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
In this category, the reader favorite coincides with my hands down favorite. Count me a pickle convert. Salty, super crunchy, and such vinegary pickle-y goodness to boot.
My readers must be coffee lovers. That is the only explanation. If y'all love coffee, this dessert is definitely worth trying. Non-dairy and in portion-controlled mochi-encased bites.
#2: Organic Pumpkin Spice Granola Bark
A seasonal, minimally pumpkin spiced granola meets a nice blanket of dark chocolate topped with crunchy pumpkin seeds. Texturally sound with a nice balance between the sweet and savory.
#3: Quadruple Almond Butter Cookies
Crunchy, very almond-y. Cookies that any Asian mother would love.
MY FAV: Mango Mango Mochi
I would be ABSOLUTELY REMISS to neglect these darling mango mochis. I'm looking forward to the summer just so I can have these again.

#2: Seafood Paella
Why this is the #2 reader favorite? I have no idea. I haven't even repurchased it since, but it is a fairly decent pick for meals-in-a-pinch.
I have nothing but love for this seasoning. I use it to make just about any unpalatable food palatable. Actually I had to cut back because I may or may not have finished an entire jar in a matter of a month. Or two. Or three? I don't remember. :P

MY OTHER FAVS
Creamy Toscano Cheese Soaked in Syrah: Wine IN Cheese. Need I say more?
White House Cookie Kit: Simple, user-friendly, yet surprisingly fun. Patriotic in its own right. Fireworks not included.
Ugly Sweater Cookie Kit: A true TJ's seasonal, holiday gem. Perfect for kids, for quality time that may or may not involve a screen, for de-stressing, and for sheer fun. A must-pick for next year. I haven't seen these in stores for weeks.
