These baguettes are the perfect side dish for soups, salads, and pasta. They’re also delicious dunked in marinara sauce or drizzled with Trader Joe’s garlic olive oil.

My kids call these baguettes “tiny breads,” and I will never not buy them. We always have a bag (or four) in our freezer for bread-mergencies.

This pizza is thin, crunchy, and a little bit tangy in the best way.

If you cut it into bite-sized pieces, it makes for a fun “appetizers for dinner” meal that can surprisingly feed six whole children (and occasionally me!).

At my Trader Joe’s, one pizza costs just $5 — an unbeatable price, in my opinion.

The only thing better than mac and cheese is deep-fried mac and cheese.

After just 15 minutes in my air fryer, these bad boys are better than most chain-restaurant appetizers. Two boxes feed my whole crew, and they’re usually gone before I can reach for condiments.

Trader Joe’s elevated take on pigs in a blanket is great for days I need to make an easy weeknight dinner.

In my opinion, they’re more delicious than other hot-dog bites I’ve tried: The crispy, lightly cheesy Parmesan-crust layer makes them feel fancier than classic pigs in a blanket.

Even if you’re not gluten-free, these nuggets are worth the purchase. They’re juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and one bag is the perfect size for our family.

For an amazing, kid-friendly meal, I love pairing them with Trader Joe’s incredibly delicious waffle fries.

When I first bought these Trader Joe’s patties, I was beyond skeptical that they would pass the “kid test” — my 4-year-old son can smell “healthy food” from a mile away, and this was no pork sausage.

So, I was pleasantly surprised when they raved about these and asked for seconds. These are a quick and easy breakfast for busy school mornings — I just pop them in the air fryer.

Trader Joe’s potato pancakes are absolutely incredible. I crisp these up in my trusty air fryer, and the result is perfect every time.

Some of my kids eat these plain, and others slather them in ketchup. I eat their leftovers either way — that is, on the rare occasion that leftovers exist.

Why are tiny things so cute? My kids like these fun-sized pancakes infinitely better than regular-sized pancakes, which defies all logic, but there you have it.

They are the perfect base for berries, shredded coconut, and even an occasional dollop of whipped cream.

Full transparency: These mini pancake puffs are not necessarily the most nutritious breakfast option.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, though, I can’t recommend them enough. They’re light, airy, and deliciously chocolate-forward. I like to pair them with a side of chicken sausage breakfast patties for a little more protein.

I remain unconvinced that a more perfect dessert exists. These tiny ice cream cones — which contain chocolate-chip ice cream and a delicious fudge bite at the tip — are the ideal after-dinner treat.

Plus, they’re small enough to fit seamlessly into tiny toddler palms. Pro tip: The seasonal peppermint flavor is the best!
