A package of this ricotta and spinach ravioli from Trader Joe's was kept in the freezer (since the package says to keep it frozen), and when I opened the package I noticed there was a lot of ice inside.

When I cooked it, I followed the microwave instructions and heated it up for a total of 7 minutes.

The tomato sauce just tasted like an average tomato and garlic sauce, but it was a little bit watery (probably due to that ice). The inside of the ravioli had a neutral taste (not a strong cheese or spinach taste), which was OK with me.

Although it was a little bit watery, it was still good enough that I was able to eat the whole thing.

For preparing this spring onion rice noodle soup bowl from Trader Joe's, I added in all the seasoning from the packet, however, I only put in a little bit of the optional oil that came with it.

I followed the microwave instructions that stated to pour water to the lower inside ridge and microwave the bowl for 2-3 minutes. I microwaved it for 3 minutes since 2 minutes didn't seem like it would be long enough, and it came out fine.

The soup base was a little bit sweet, and it was also a little peppery, but I liked that neither the sweetness or peppery-ness was overbearing. The texture of the rice noodles was also good and went well with the soup taste.

The overall taste and texture of the noodle soup bowl was better than the average non-ramen noodle bowl from a grocery store.

The texture of these crackers from Trader Joe's is very light and crisp, and they have a sharp cheese taste. The underlying cracker has a slightly sweet taste. The flavoring used on top of the cracker tastes more like a sharp cheddar cheese rather than a Gorgonzola cheese, but they are still delicious. It needs to come in a bigger box -- I couldn't stop eating these crackers!
