Costco is my one-stop shop for organic foods, plant-based snacks, and bulk health and wellness items. (I eat pretty healthfully, if you can’t tell! I’m a nutritionist, after all!) It’s also one of my favorite places to discover new things at a great price.

A lot of people say Costco isn’t the best place to try new things — if you don’t like something, you’re usually stuck with a lot of it — but I’m so rarely disappointed! I like to reserve around $15 per trip to put toward something new. This keeps my budget in check and, at the same time, lets me experiment a little.

Here are five Costco items I tried recently — and my honest opinions of each!

It might be hard to imagine that people born as late as 2000 — a designation known as Gen Z  — are already entering the professional workforce.
But they are, and there’s a few jobs in the tech sphere that 18- to 25-year-old workers are particularly excited about. Some of those jobs are even nearing the six-figure salary mark.

1. Always taste your food while you cook

This is the first lesson Martha ever taught me. The very first segment I did for her was a white asparagus recipe with an orange sauce. I made the whole thing and followed the recipe as it was written in the magazine. At the end of the segment she bit into the asparagus, and she looked at me. She said, “This is really tough, did you taste this?” I was speechless and realized I hadn’t tasted it, and it’s an extremely, extremely important thing when you’re cooking.
2. Surround yourself with the best

One thing I have always said about Martha, she chooses the people she works with very carefully. She finds highly motivated, detail oriented, hard working and most of all, talented people to surround herself with. That is something I strive to do in my kitchen. Find people who want to and are capable of doing the quality of work that we require. It’s very challenging, but finding the best team is so rewarding.
3. Know why you’re doing something

The biggest lesson I learned when I was working on the show with Martha was to know what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Even if Martha doesn’t agree with it, she wants you to have a good understanding of why you’re doing something. You shouldn’t do something blindly because a recipe said so or because someone told you to do so. You should do it because it’s the best choice. Everyone should have that in life.
