Trader Joe's Greek Chickpeas with Cumin and Parsley

These might be Trader Joe's most underrated product. They’re a hack to make even the most basic savory meals feel more complete and elevated with zero extra effort (also convenient to pack on-the-go).

Baladi Egyptian Sourdough Pocket Bread

I find traditional pita pockets that come in a plastic bag too dry, and we often don't get through a whole bag before they go bad. With these, you can just pull one out as needed and have fresher, fluffier pocket breads in a matter of seconds.

Creamy Cottage Cheese Basil Pasta (Ali Slagle)

I’m not sure a recipe has ever entered the dinner rotation faster than this one. Flavorful, pairs with basically everything and has ingredients I feel good about giving my toddler.

How to Sew a Knot Bag

I’m the kind of person who wants to start and finish a craft in one sitting, and bonus points if it’s something actually useful. This impossibly easy knot bag really checked all the boxes (fun for gift bags, etc.).
