I am currently obsessed with their bruschetta in a jar. I mix it with lentils ... so amazing.


and last night I tried their chili lime chicken burgers. I wanted to die, they were that good.

what are your faves, or your favorite recipes using their products?

    I love their:

    organic extra lean ground beef
    aoli mustard (it's bomb on eggs)
    soy mozzerlla (and now they sell shredded soy cheese too omg)
    Old Moon and Green Fin red wines.
    frozen naan
    parmesean ranch dressing (30 cals for 1 TB, WHAT?!!?)
    herb pizza dough (homemade pizzas FTW)

    They have a premade veggie wrap I also love. It's a good emergency lunch.

    I eat pretty basic and TJs is good for inexpensive basics. Eggs, milk, butter, cheese, etc.

    I haven't really tried any of their frozen foods or meals.

    I usually just buy my almond butter from them, and most recently, the cookie butter. XD

    Totally this :sad: Ours opened 2 years ago and I am completely addicted to their food. The only thing I ever got there that I thought was vile was a can of crab meat.... nasty! Other than that I could write their commercials!!!!!

    I get milk, yogurt, eggs, frozen veggies, romaine hearts, grape tomatoes, shredded carrots, broccoli slaw and sprouted grain bread there. For the one day I'm in the office each week I get the citrus chicken salad. It's 200 calories and I love it. I have the dark chocolate honey mints. They only have 3 ingredients, are 50 calories each, aren't delicious enough to eat the whole bag, but work for a chocolate fix.

    Lately I've been getting their chia tortillas, no nitrate turkey lunchmeat, baby spinach and tzatziki and making a wrap. It's filling, really good and around 250 calories with decent protein.

    My kids love the ____ walked into a bar.

    the whole store?! :love: :laugh: :bigsmile:

    They have their own brand of vegan cream cheese which makes my life much happier :)
    Also their indian food! the frozen stuff and the boxed stuff is all good.
    I like the caribbean frozen ice bars. Also their coconut ice cream (Strawberry - holy moly).

    I wasn't crazy about their dolmades & a couple of their cookies. Otherwise, I love pretty much everything I've had!

    Oh and yes, these are amazing. I can't buy them. And I refuse to try the chocolate covered peanut butter filled pretzels because I do NOT need to know how delicious they are.

    Their rosemary marcona almonds are insanely good.

    But beware, they are high in fat.

    This, minus the chia seeds (haven't tried them, yet).

    Also, vacuum fried pineapple chips. :)

    I could live off the citrus chicken salad. I'm also a huge fan of the roasted beet salad.

    I never go to TJs because it's way downtown and I usually bike to work. Then on Saturday it's a damn mob scene. I used to love their Kenyan coffee, but they don't seem to sell it anymore. Same with their cheese blintzes. Every time I like something they sell, they stop selling it.
