Trader Joes

gina000 · May 2011

I know this has been posted before, but after yesterday's pizza crust discovery, I feel like I am missing out on other great things from Trader Joes. So what is your fav or even go to items at Trader Joes?

My go to for is the frozen meatballs they are so yummy and you can make them in 25 min in the oven or even less in the microwave.

I am not a fan of the pizza dough...

Here are our go to items:

Frozen: Orange Chicken, brown rice, chicken egg rolls, appetizers of all sorts, taquitos (and I think the beef are actually lower fat than the chicken? I can't remember)

Champagne Pear Vinagrette

Almond Butter

Curry Simmer Sauce

Pizza Sauce

Fruit/Cereal bars (This Apple Walked into a bar... etc)

Island Soyaki Sauce

CHEAP WINE

TJs brand full fat yogurt for the kids YUM.

3 packs of dark chocolate bars that are right by the register and are cheap.

Taco shells

DH likes their California Rolls

I like the Mango Chicken Pasta Salad in the refrigerated case

Shredded Low Fat Mozzarella Cheese - it melts well even though it's low fat

We don't buy many food items, but we do get: ketchup (DH loves it), basmati rice medley, and the orange chicken. I also get the TJ's Syrah from Paso Robles.

They have little tiny wheels of brie. I got some last weekend for my sister's bridal shower and made mini baked brie. It was so good!

Anything I've ever had in their frozen foods section has been fantastic.

I've never tried their dough but I saw it today and thought i'd give it a try next week. I just finished off a bag of chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels...and they are the best damn little nuggets of goodness I've ever had! I cant think of anything else now but those. I specifically went today for the party meatballs...no other ball will do when having people over.
