Spinoff to Trader Joe's

I want to go there this weekend and stock up on some things for the pantry and freezer before I give birth. I'm not really sure what is good!

What does everyone get there?

Re: Spinoff to Trader Joe's

LOVE the orange chicken stir fry stuff - I don't remember exactly what it is called, but it is frozen in a bag that is an orange or brown color and it is grilled chicken, cashews and veggies and rice. It all goes in the pan and - PRESTO! you have a really yummy meal.

I also like the frozen greek pie. And the bean burritos*** (there are two in the package. Don't follow the directions and put them in the oven in foil like it says. First, microwave them for like 1.5 minutes. Then, wrap in foil and put in the oven for longer than it says. If you don't do this it is still frozen in the middle.) I serve them w/ a little salsa and a salad.

ETA: I meant burritos, not enchillladas!

Oh, and the pita chips are really good. The TJ Organic yogurt in vanilla is good too.

The french onion soup is delish. It is frozen, they also do a Tarte De Al Sace which is a cheese, onion & ham bread - YUM. Also the chinese mustard wonton chips are very nice, but so nice you sort of have to eat the whole bag. Oh and some little chocolate square wafer cookies thingys, again whole bag

Re: Spinoff to Trader Joe's

i love almost everything there... some of the stuff is so different, but tastes so great- as opposed to other stores where i try to try something new, and it usually sucks

but.. most of their stuff is natural, so it's kind of hard to stock up on, overall.

Some of our favorites:

mini chicken tacos
mini beef tacos
roasted garlic chicken sausage
pancetta
whole wheat cous cous
beef taquitos
mushroom turnovers
roasted garlic hummus
veggie chips
fine herb goat cheese
white cheddar cheese puffs
multigrain wheat crisps
sesame wheat crisps
aioli garlic mustard sauce
whole wheat salsa fresca tortilla chips
spanish saffron
pad thai noodles
fruits & vegs (really great prices!)
Kalamata olives (really great price!)
sushi (for DH)
potato pancakes
oatmeal raisin mini cookies (big bin )
mini merangues- very chocolate
sweet potato french fries

seriously- i could go on all night... but i think that's most of my shopping list

Dunker cookies!!! Get the chocolate chip ones with the chocolate on the back. Soooo good.

The cinnamon pita chips are really good too.

While you're there, grab some frozen chocolate covered bananas!
