Portuguese Tarts
Move over, egg custard—the La Vie Gourmand Portuguese Custard Tarts are a standout. Though they’re a classic in Portugal, they were new to our local warehouse and instantly won us over. Subtly sweet with a silky custard center and crisp pastry shell, they work equally well as a dessert or a rich breakfast treat. Note that these are seasonal, so pick up a box when you spot them.
La Vie Gourmand Baked Custard Tarts — $12.99 for 18 tarts
Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Meatballs
For fast weeknight dinners, Amylu’s Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Meatballs are a game changer. Fully cooked and flavorful, they heat quickly and pair well with rice bowls, fresh vegetables, and a creamy spicy dressing. We find they make simple, nutritious meals that please kids and adults alike—perfect for busy evenings.
Amylu Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Meatballs — $13.99 for 60 meatballs
Rice Ramen
Ramen lovers should try Lotus Foods Rice Ramen. Made from brown rice and millet flour, these noodles offer a lighter alternative to traditional wheat ramen. For the best texture, rinse them after cooking to remove extra starch and add a minute or two to the recommended cooking time if needed. They’re excellent in soups, stir-fries, or topped with a bold sauce for a satisfying meal.
Lotus Foods Organic Millet and Brown Rice Ramen — $8.99 for 12 bricks
Cilantro Lime Crema
Don Pancha’s Cilantro Lime Crema was a summer favorite. Tangy, creamy, and bright, it enhanced tacos, salads, nachos, and more. Its fresh flavor comes from fewer preservatives, which means a shorter shelf life — but it disappears fast once opened. Hopefully it returns regularly, because this crema adds a lot of flavor to simple meals.
Don Pancha Cilantro Lime Crema — $7.99 for two 16-ounce jars
Dot’s Pretzels
Dot’s Pretzels live up to the hype. Buttery, crunchy, and perfectly seasoned, these pretzels are highly addictive. They debuted at Costco this year and sold quickly in the smaller lunch-sized packs, though larger bags are still a great value for snacking and entertaining.
Dot’s Pretzels — $9.99 for 35 ounces
Bistro 28 Pretzel Bites
Bistro 28 Pretzel Bites are a cozy, nostalgic snack—soft inside, slightly salty outside. They make a comforting after-school or movie-night treat. For extra flavor and shine, brush them with melted butter before baking so the salt sticks and they get that authentic mall-food-court texture.
Bistro 28 Pretzel Bites — $12.99 for 50 pretzel bites
Cranberry Jalapeño Dip
La Terra Fina’s Cranberry Jalapeño Dip combines sweet, tangy, and spicy notes in a winning way. It was a standout at our Thanksgiving spread and makes a festive appetizer. Because it’s seasonal, plan ahead and grab it when it returns to shelves each fall.
La Terra Fina Cranberry Jalapeño Dip — $9.59 for 31 ounces
Toom
One of this year’s notable dips is Toom, a creamy, lemony, garlicky spread inspired by traditional Lebanese garlic sauce. It’s bright and bold, perfect for pita, grilled vegetables, or as a flavorful condiment for meats and sandwiches. If you enjoy intense garlic-forward dips, this is a must-try.
Toom — $6.99 for one pound
Taylor Farms Chipotle Ranch Salad Kit
Taylor Farms’ Chipotle Ranch Salad Kit upgraded our salad game. With crisp greens, corn chips, dried corn, and a zesty dressing that offers tang without overpowering heat, it’s an easy, flavorful side or light main. It’s become a reliable item to toss in the cart for quick dinners.
Taylor Farms Chipotle Ranch Chopped Salad Kit — $7.99 for two 11.75-ounce bags
