I follow a couple of Trader Joe’s employees who are also doing Weight Watchers on Instagram which is either a blessing or a curse, the jury is still out. On the one hand they always post the points plus for all the new things they are trying in store. But…they post all the new things they are trying in the store. And I’ve kinda sorta been having an affair with TJ lately so it’s a win win or a lose lose depending on my willpower that day. The number of new items they have suggested that I did not like are exactly let’s see…one, two, three…ummm…ZERO.
After one of those posts I left my granite showroom and drove directly to Trader Joe’s. I did not pass go. I did not collect $200. Two recycle bags later I had most (if not all) of the new items posted that day including this. Trader Joe’s Sriracha and Garlic BBQ Sauce (see my Product Review here) and after one try I was hooked. I have tried it on chicken. Slow cooked it with Meatless Meatballs. Even snuck it in on my husband one evening when he came in late and I whipped up Franks N’ Beans with a Kick!. A few days later we kicked around a sweet and spicy idea and created a Sweet N’ Spicy Turkey Burger. I’ve even just “accidentally” run my finger across the lid and licked it off…it’s that good.
It’s so good in fact I panicked the next time I was in TJ’s and thought the shelf was empty. I bought two more bottles…yeah, I know.
