From a Mix!
Lack of posts; long story, more later...Meanwhile, i made a batch of the Trader Joe's cornbread mix last night. I must admit it's the best cornbread mix i've tasted - although it's quite sweet & soft so die-hard cornbread fans might be hateful. It reminds me of when Boston Market's cornbread was good, (which apparently can be replicated with half Jiffy mix and half yellow cake mix!) but slightly less crusty and definitely more fun since you get a whole pan, not one measly piece. be's been devouring it - but as you knew, he's a fan of sweet cornbread while i like it hot & cheesy.
I also bought a box of the Trader Joe's jalepeno blue cornbread mix so i'll report on that shortly. And on a non-cornbread note, the Trader Joe's lemon cake is really, really tasty. I whipped up a batch of cream cheese frosting from Jim Fobel's Old-Fashioned Baking Book (Thanks, LIP!) and it was like lemon cake awesomeness!
But as much as i seem to like TJ cake mixes, i certainly despise going to the Union Square location. It's like enjoying mini-cart aisle wars.
