I love their bread, DH loves their salsa. We buy a lot of cheeses there as well. Have fun!

The frozen turkey meatballs. The macaroni and cheese in the packets. Light cheese sticks. The fruit bars mentioned above.

These are all favorites of my DS.

Their blueberry waffles/french toast (frozen)

Gorilla munch cereal (tastes like captain crunch)

Enchiladas (all their frozen Mexican stuff is good)

I love their black bean soup! DS is obsessed with their Joe O's. He has a fit when he sees the box. Their hummus is also really good. Oh and they have these apple cranberry bran muffns that are so yummy and the cereal bars

Whole wheat pizza dough--in the refrigerated section in produce. Raw dough. Take a handful at home and make mini pizza for your baby.

Salad dressing: sesame ginger miso something or other. SO good and not bad for you.

If you want to be bad, really really bad...French Truffles. Holy crap you'll die. So good.

Joe's O's. Cereal bars ("This blueberry walks into a bar.."). Peanut butter. Herb pizza dough + pepperonis + sauce. Macaroni and cheese.

carolinag · August 2009

meplusone · August 2009

Agree with PP, the french truffles are to die for..........one of my fav choc candies of all time!

Also, sweet potato fries, tuscany salad dressing, all kinds of nuts/trail mix and cheese sticks.

I also know that their brand of yogurt is made by Stonyfield and is a lot cheaper. I love the greek style yogurt.

kelbrian · August 2009

Oh - I LOVE their ketchup. And their brand of cheese crackers are delicious.

gillysk · August 2009

DS loves their blueberry waffles, animal crackers, mango sorbet, yogurt (just as good as yo baby but cheaper), dried fruit, and I always get my pasta there...among many other things. Enjoy yourself!!!

MaestraMama · August 2009

blue corn chips and salsa, TJ wine, carne asada steak for tacos, Caribbean floes (my fav!), lacy's cookies, pizza dough (garlic herb and wheat), fat free pizza sauce...Have fun!

I have not gotten anything from there that I haven't loved.

The frozen veggie lasagna is good, frozen mandarin chicken w/ a bag of fried rice is enough for 2 meals, turkey meatballs, if you like fish, stock up on frozen fish fillets..it is so much cheaper. I love the Granny's apple cereal, and DD loves the frozen mango cubes and bars. They have a pineapple mango salsa that is so good, and their lemonade is to die for.
