We've noticed that Costco stopped carrying Isabella's Chicken Enchilada Bake a while ago and started carrying Isabella's Chile Verde Enchilada, instead, so we decided to try some.

We cooked it using the microwave instructions on the back.

The chile verde enchilada had a very nice and balanced savory green chile taste and aroma. It definitely made me feel like I was eating Mexican food.

The texture of the tortillas with the chicken was also good, however, I didn't like the texture of the cheese. Whenever I got a bit of the cheese, it was like mush and not in a good way. I ended up having to scrape the cheese on the top off to enjoy the enchilada. If the cheese wasn't so mushy, it would have been pretty good.

REVIEW – Penne all’Arrabbiata from Whole Foods (Frozen)

My boyfriend's parents had bought some Chickenless Crispy Tenders from Trader Joe's so I ended up trying some of them.

My boyfriend's mom bought some frozen Penne all'Arrabbiata from Whole Foods. Similar to Trader Joe's Penne Arrabbiata, the pasta comes combined with the sauce, and it's easy to follow the microwave instructions.

The penne pasta was a little hard and on the al dente side. The sauce was a little on the sweet side for me, and it had a garlic-y taste.

It was OK overall, but I still prefer Trader Joe's Penne Arrabbiata to this one.

REVIEW – Trader Joe’s Unsalted Sardines in Spring Water

My boyfriend's mom has been buying Trader Joe's Spring Water Sardines for years, and I finally decided to try some. I haven't had any sardines for several years so I don't really have anything to compare them to. All I remember is that the sardines my mom bought when I was younger were all extremely salty.

So starting off... the Trader Joe's sardines were not super salty, which was good (especially since they are advertised as "unsalted"). They mainly tasted fishy to me and not in a bad way. I didn't eat them all mushed up or in mayo or olive oil, etc. I just ate them plain in their original form with some lettuce, and they were still tasty. However, they were a little dry on the inside or else they would have been perfect.
