Portuguese Tarts
Move over, egg custard—the La Vie Gourmand Portuguese Custard Tarts are stealing the show. Popular in Portugal but new to our cart, these tarts are subtly sweet, luxuriously creamy, and perfect for dessert or breakfast. They’re seasonal, so grab a box when you spot them.
La Vie Gourmand Baked Custard Tarts — $12.99 for 18 tarts
Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Meatballs
Need a fast dinner? Amylu’s Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Meatballs are fully cooked, flavorful, and easy to heat. They work great in teriyaki bowls with rice, fresh vegetables, and a creamy spicy vinaigrette. Quick, satisfying, and convenient for busy weeknights.
Amylu Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Meatballs — $13.99 for 60 meatballs
Rice Ramen
Ramen lovers, meet Lotus Foods Rice Ramen. Made with brown rice and millet flour, these noodles are a lighter take on the classic. Rinse well after cooking to remove excess starch and add a minute or two to the cooking time. They pair beautifully with stir-fries or bold sauces for a slurp-worthy meal.
Lotus Foods Organic Millet and Brown Rice Ramen — $8.99 for 12 bricks
Cilantro Lime Crema
Don Pancha’s Cilantro Lime Crema was our summer standout. Bright, tangy, and creamy, it elevated tacos, salads, and nachos alike. It’s the same vibrant sauce featured in Costco’s street taco kit. Shorter shelf life due to fewer preservatives meant it disappeared from our fridge long before expiration—hopefully it returns next season.
Don Pancha Cilantro Lime Crema — $7.99 for two 16-ounce jars
Dot’s Pretzels
Midwestern readers were right: Dot’s Pretzels are addictive. Buttery, crisp, and perfectly seasoned, these pretzels made a major impression in Costco this year. The single-serve packets sold out fast, but the large bag remains a solid option for snack lovers.
Dot’s Pretzels — $9.99 for 35 ounces
Bistro 28 Pretzel Bites
Bistro 28 Pretzel Bites are the frozen snack upgrade you didn’t know you needed. Soft and salty, they’re perfect as an after-school treat or quick appetizer. For extra flavor, brush with melted butter before baking so the salt sticks—close to the mall food court favorites.
Bistro 28 Pretzel Bites — $12.99 for 50 pretzel bites
Cranberry Jalapeño Dip
La Terra Fina’s Cranberry Jalapeño Dip balances sweet, tangy, and spicy in a way that grabbed attention at our Thanksgiving spread. It’s seasonal and worth waiting for next fall—perfect for holiday tables and appetizer trays.
La Terra Fina Cranberry Jalapeno Dip — $9.59 for 31 ounces
Toom
One of this year’s standout dips is Toom, inspired by the Lebanese garlic sauce toum. Bright, garlicky, and lemony, it pairs perfectly with pita, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats. If you enjoy bold dips, this tub is a must-try.
Toom — $6.99 for one pound
Taylor Farms Chipotle Ranch Salad Kit
Think salads are boring? Taylor Farms’ Chipotle Ranch Salad Kit changes that. With crunchy greens, corn chips, dried corn, and a tangy chipotle ranch dressing that delivers flavor without overwhelming heat, it’s become a dinner staple in our household.
Taylor Farms Chipotle Ranch Chopped Salad Kit — $7.99 for two 11.75-ounce bags
