Thank you. I’m sending you strength and healthy well wishes. You got this. I love the idea to film “a what I eat in a day”. I’ll try to find some time to do it this week.

I love when they drink beer and wine. Such a fun beautiful couple. So fun to watch in a taste test. With an amazing lovely child. Loving them all From 🇬🇧

I think the peaches and cream would be good in stuffed French toast or a tarte.

I hope Tim turned the lights down low and put some good tunes on and took you for a twirl around the kitchen in your sparkly blouse, it’s beautiful. Thanks for the great taste test, such good items!

Tart cherry good on vanilla ice cream.

Tim, your comment about Katie choking on bubbles was hilarious!!!🤣

“It’s the raspberry’s world,and we’re just living in it.” 😂 I love it!

I always appreciate your comprehensive reviews. So very helpful!

The tart cherry spread is great on the Japanese-style Souffle cheesecakes, topped with a dollop of whipped cream.

I love all your shows. I have tried many items because of your input. It is especially helpful when you show the packaging and containers for the item. It sure makes it easier to spot the items. The TJ's where I shop is always 6 deep and you hesitate to linger while you are looking for something. Love you and stay well and happy!

Use the cream cheese mixed with whipped cream or blended with cottage cheese as a fruit dip

Your makeup and that top is just STUNNING!! Loved this longer taste test xx

Thank you for your review. Do you drink your Cabernet at room temperature?

Thanks for the taste test! With how many new items in the haul I thought good chance it might not be posted until Saturday evening - but here it is posted perfect timing for my trip to TJ Saturday afternoon! I haven’t purchased jam or fruit spread in YEARS but I’m going to get the cherry fruit spread- I’m thinking it would be great on a sandwich with cream cheese, and possibly sliced chicken. Ooh or try to make a salad dressing with it?! The lemon ginger cheesecake sounds delicious and I might pick up for a graduation party I’m going to in a week or so. Not sure though if there’s room in my freezer for something that big so might have to wait to buy until day before the party and just put it in the refrigerator.

First, love your top Katie! The peach/cream cheese is yummy. I purchased some sweet and juicy strawberries at farmer's mkt, drizzled some kahlua over the sliced berries. Then I put the cream cheese/peach combo in my vitamix with a little bit of extra creamy oat milk and whipped it up. Topped the berries with it. It was delish!

how did you’ll like the peach ale? a know it’s a returning item. do i store it in the refrigerator? i just bought it this past Wednesday.

I like to do craft projects and they usually look as if a child completed them 😂 I would stuff crêpes with the peach cream cheese .

My passion is music. I sing and wanted to learn guitar to accompany myself. Not so good. I keep my guitar out in my bedroom so maybe it'll motivate me to get better, but no. My hands are small so I was given a 3/4 guitar. If only my hands were as big as my mouth. But being 61 is not stopping me.

I used the Tart Cherry jam on a baked brie last night for a party. OH MY GOODNESS! It was perfect! And my passion is music. I can carry a tune but that's about it when it comes to singing. I can play a few chords on the guitar and play by ear on the piano. I was a dancer from the time I was 3 through college and I love to dance, but I wish I had taken music/piano lessons instead.

Maaany years ago, someone brought a fruit tart made with refrigerator crescent roll dough as the base, sweetened cream cheese, and fresh fruit on top with either glaze or thinned down jam/fruit syrup to a cookout. The Peaches & Cream cream cheese would probably be fantastic with fresh raspberries. Or gently spread directly on TJ's croissant dough & baked as directed on the package. Maybe spread on toasty scones or split biscuits, with a dollop of jam. A jar of the Tart Cherry spread should work as the filling for an 8x8 pan of Cherry Pie Bars.

The things I am passionate about I am good at. That said my daughter loves to draw and I wish I could draw as well as she does.

I'm so glad there is a smaller version at TJ's for her to try.

Mmmm! The peach cream cheese would be good in french toast, crepes, Dutch babies or pancakes. The tart cherry spread would be yummy in fruit crumble bars, like Ina Garten's Raspberry (Crumble) Bars.

Did anyone catch the name of the beer that came with the pizza? I got hazy IPA but there was another word in the name. Rogue?

Katie, please tell me if you have ever made the fresh pizza dough from Trader Joe's? I plan on making it and using the burrata on top like you did. It says it takes about 8 or 9 minutes at 475° for the pizza to cook. Would that still be okay to put it on top and not have it spread too much? I don't know how long you cooked the gluten-free one. 🥰

I travel a lot and don’t have a big freezer so love having these in my pantry as I know I can always fix myself one when I return from a trip and have an empty fridge. I would mix the yuzu paste with butter to use as a topping for cooked fish. I might also see if it would work on hot pasta with veggies for a summer dinner.

As you enjoyed the chickpea curry, and if you like sweet potatoes too, I recommend that you make your own Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry. It’s really easy to make, and can also be turned into a non-vegi version by adding cooked chicken or chorizo pieces (or meat-free chicken or nutritional yeast can be added too). I’ve made multiple different versions of it, playing around with the vegetables used, sauces etc. It’s really delicious and tastes the best when reheated a day or two after it’s made, when all of the flavors have blended.

I’m with you on preferring smaller bubbles in sparkling mineral water. I live on mainland Europe, where sparkling mineral water is as much an everyday drink as still, but there are certain brands that I prefer because of the bubble size and the flavor of the minerals. Regarding Tim’s comment that he doesn’t taste the difference, it’s a bit like getting into wine. Initially you don’t really taste much difference, but the more you try, the better you get at it. Do you think that this one is a dupe for San Pelligrino, or even SP branded for TJs? The bottle color and shape is like theirs.
