Product Review - Trader Joe's


Here is a great product I recently discovered at one of my favorite Grocery Stores - Trader Joe's! If you have not been to Trader Joe's, find a store near you and go immedeately! It is worth the trip.


Before there was a Trader Joe's in my local area, my hubby and I used to drive an hour to go to one in the next state - it is that cool a market.


Onto the cookie - we have our favorite snacky items that we like to regularly get but one time we were shopping at Trader Joe's with our kids and they were cranky and hungry. I am usually packing a few snacks in my bag, but I had nothing to offer them and the situation was quickly escalating, so I literally grabbed the nearest cookie off the shelf where I was standing, opened the box, and let them eat them before we even checked out. They happened to be these Blueberry Shortbread Cookies, my girls loved them ate ate them right up.


It was only later, when we got home and I was putting the food away, did I notice the box and the label. These shortbread cookies contain DHA Omega -3 fatty acids from Fish Oil. Wow! They are healthy cookies! And my kids liked them! I'm ecstatic over this discovery.

Happy New Year!!!


In honor of New Years Eve - here is a recipe for EggNog Quick bread. Thanks to all the readers for visiting my blog this year. Enjoy and have a happy & healthy & yummy 2010!!

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup dairy egg nog
1/2 cup melted butter
1 t vanilla
2 t rum extract
2 1/4 cup flour
2 t baking powder
1/4 t nutmeg

1) Beat eggs in a large bowl, then add next 5 ingredients, blending well.

2) Add remaining (dry) ingredients and stir until just moist.

3) Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake @ 350 for 50-60 min. Check it with a knife or toothpick to see if it comes out clean - this bread is dense and may need more time - remember every oven is a little different!
