    These are awesome.

    They also have a fresh hearty minestrone soup in the prepared refrigerated section that is awesome. I can put down 3 containers a week.

    I also like the Spizzico di Pizza appetizers. 6 mini pizzas are only 340 calories, and not bad on the fat side.

    They have brussel sprouts still on the stalk! They are much fresher! (And I used to hate brussel sprouts.)

    Their dark chocolate peanut butter cups are unbelievably good and I don't even like Reese's! I hide them and have one as a reward when I have had a good day. Eating just one is tough, but it is such a self-affirming test of willpower. I can do anything if I can stop after one of these little goodies. Oh, and if I don't hide them, the fam will blow through my month's supply in ten minutes.You've been warned.

    I think that just about covers it.... I also love their raw almonds and other nuts. one of the best places you can buy them unsalted. Think you have a pretty good list going but the hummus is my favorite of anywhere too. Roasted pepers I used in a lot of foods. If you have animals (slightly off topic) - my cats love their tuna and the dog treats are great too!. Just an FYI :-)

    There is not much low calorie stuff there. But I like the frozen stuffed salmon, the frozen linguine Alfredo and the chocolate covered almonds.

    I love the Bruschetta spread. Just a little bit of it adds a ton of flavor if something is bland.

    Champagne Pear Vinaigrette with Gorgonzola. It's one of my favorite salad dressings. It's a Trader Joe's brand and I make a special trip there just to get it. Also, I think someone else said Almond Milk. I think they have the best Unsweetened Vanilla.

    The mini peanut butter cups!!!

    The "?" wine is fabulous. I also am a big fan of the Simpler Times lager.

    In terms of food, I love their chicken sasuages as they are pork/MSG/Gluten Free. Frozen fish - great price and cooks up well, I usually grill or bake it; I use their Island Soyaki as a maraniade and it's super yummy every time. All the frozen veggies are great. My new favorite thing are the spicy shrimp bao - they are OMG good. You really can't go wrong with any of the frozen foods :)

    I love the baked plantain chips and snap pea crisps. And maple creme cookies.

    Their rice pasta is wonderful, the best I've ever had; and in addition to that, the GF Mac&Cheese is really good.

    Don't be afraid to be adventurous and try new things. They always have samples in the back of the store. If you want to sample items, just ask and they can open things up for you to try. Also, if you have specific food allergies, they can give you a printed list of all the items they have in stock that are Gluten Free.

    Happy shopping!!
