Hi Sanjay – Trader Joe’s never says for sure who makes their products but if you look at their gluten free pasta, the ingredients are the same as Tinkyada and both are made in Canada and for me, they cook up the same.

Just this week too, I picked up some of TJ’s Vanilla and Cinnamon seasonal tea. When I opened the package, the tea bags are the same as the Celestial Seasonings bags without the tag and string. the flavor was very familiar to me so I compared it to a box of the CS Nutcracker Sweet tea I already have in my cabinet and it is the same thing.

And the best part is that the TJ’s products are usually cheaper than the name-brand.

Thanks for stopping in!

The Tinkyada brand has excellent gluten-free pastas. But I did not know that Trader Joe markets them under their name.

Hi Shirley – Yes, it does probably have soy in it, and definitely dairy. Luckily for us, we don’t have to avoid those items. At least not yet…((knock)) on wood, cross my fingers!
My husband has taught me to like artichokes and artichoke hearts finally. I enjoy the hearts in water best.

Hi Stephanie – Thanks for stopping by! I checked out your site – looks good, have to dig around there a bit more.
Luckily we don’t have to be dairy free, just gluten free, so I can use the real stuff!

Ha! You are right! No email address anywhere to be found. Oops! I don’t have any breakfast posts…we aren’t real creative with breakfast around here. Although I do really like Stephanie’s Crock Pot Breakfast Risotto.

Hey Renee!
Tried to find an email address to contact you, but couldn’t locate one! :-) At any rate, I was wondering if you had a GF/veggie breakfast recipe that you’ve posted that you could share on my gluten free breakfast/brunch roundup! I want to see if I can get about 100 recipes! I would love it if you had one you could add to the roundup! Here’s where it’s listed:

Thank you SO much!! I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season! I need to try this alfredo recipe! I’ve tried some vegan sauces in the past and I can’t ever seem to get it just right! This looks delish!!

I’ve tried to create a healthy Alfredo too! The sauce isn’t as creamy as the real thing but it’s a good copycat that can be enjoyed more often :)

Renee, that looks delicious! My husband loves it the few times I have purchased that. It’s not often because it contains dairy and soy if I recall, but it is tasty for a quick alfredo fix. ;-) Love that you included artichoke hearts in your dish … one of our faves!
