What are your favorite TJ meals

DH and I are having a hard time coordinating dinner on nights I work until 5pm (2 times a week, sometimes more). I'm going to be in the area of a TJ's today and was thinking of picking up some frozen entree stuff. What are your favorites?

    I pretty much shop only at TJ's

    They have some chicken patties near the meats: come 2 in a pack and we live on those on the Foreman with some edamame, and rice

    Soba noodles and add shirp

    roasted red pepper soup with feta and polenta cakes

    pizza (although the dough has to rise for 20 mintues, so it's not as quick)

    frozen chicken tenders that are maranated.  Cook for about 4 minutes

    Less guilt mac n chesse with some left over chicken and some salsa

    brocolli slaw with their goddess dressing, feta and craisins

    salad with chicken skewers

    Kimchi rice

    The orange chicken is good. I add broccoli and serve with rice. Love their frozen brown rice.

    They have some reduced fat battered shrimp that's good. And sometimes we just get a bunch of their frozen appetizers for a fun meal.

    I'm actually working on a "Trader Joe's 5 ingredients or Less" section in my recipe exchange Wink ....Some of our current favorite easy combos are:

    *Orange chicken + jasmine rice + broccoli + side of edamame (salted)

    *Red Curry sauce (jar) + diced chicken + fresh peas over jasmine rice

    *Cold pasta salad: orzo pasta + feta crumbles + sun dried tomatoes (incl juice) + artichoke antipasto (jar)

    *Salomon Fettuccini: lemon papardelle + pint heavy cream + bag parmesan + flaked salmon + parsley (can sub tuna fish to save $$)

    *Meatloaf: Cornbread Stuffing Mix + meat + broccoli/carrot slaw (recipe)

    *Pizza dough + sauce + tomatoes + mozzerella + basil OR + BBQ sauce + + mozzerella + chicken + red onion

    We don't live convienently to TJ's, but I go every once in a while.  I love their frozen eggplant cutlets - add a side of pasta w/red sauce and a veggie or salad and you're done! :)

    I second the Orange chicken, its my husband's favorite.  Also, I like alot of their marinated/prepared meats and add sides to go with it (Pollo Asado and make tacos)

    We love the frozen eggplant, frozen broccoli beef is good, and also the flatbread pizzas are a hit in our family.
