Jicama Wraps

If you’ve never heard of jicama before, it’s time for you to try one. Its flavor can be described a cross between a pear and kohlrabi, and it is truly wonderful. These wraps that are made of jicama are a great alternative for traditional wraps, especially if you’re trying to reduce calories. They are not meant to be heated up, so make sure you eat them raw. They can be slightly warmed, but not heated up.

Cinnamon Bun Spread

Trader Joe’s has always come through with interesting spreads, like its cookie butter spread that has taken over, as well as its pumpkin butter spread which is a delightful fall treat. So what about the cinnamon bun spread? The jar describes it as a “rich gooey honey butter spread with cinnamon bun spices.” What could go wrong there? You can enjoy it on toast, add it to your ice cream, or spread it on a bagel to sweeten it up.
