Enter: Trader Joe’s Turkey Chili with Beans. That’s right, friends — when I’m not in the mood to make a several-ingredient pot of chili from scratch, this $2.69 pantry staple is my go-to for a quick and easy meal that tastes almost as good as the real deal.

Trader Joe's is a dominant name in the seasoning game. While you might already have recipes for its Everything But the Bagel blend, what about the Elote blend?

This tiny ingredient packs a big punch, and professional chefs say it’s the best-kept flavor secret in Trader Joe’s extensive collection.

I have a family of two, so buying fresh bread can be futile. We rarely make it through a baguette before it becomes rock-hard or moldy. Sad, I know. So, keeping bread in the freezer is a great option.
