    Do you use it in place of olive oil? I have never used it to cook but read so much about it.

    I don't buy much from trader joes. Whole foods is actually closer than TJ's.

    I absolutely LOVE their pizza dough! I've tried the herb one and I want to try the others. I also enjoy the hummus there! Carrots and cheese taste like any at other stores ;)

    Kimchi rice
    Venetian Moon pinot grigio (my new favorite table wine)
    Hearty vegetable broth (I swear, everything I use this in tastes better. I poached some salmon in it last night -- so good)
    Garlic -- for some reason, their garlic seems fresher than what I can find elsewhere
    Mirepoix -- when I'm feeling lazy

    I think it was roughly $7 in Indiana? I just got some on Sunday. Definitely cheaper there! I don't get to TJ's often, but I bought that and the almond butter while I was there! Almond butter is cheaper, too - especially for the no sugar added kind.

    I use the coconut oil to cook (usually my eggs...mmm) and as a moisturizier and hair conditioner (I just leave it in). Same stuff, but I have a separate container in the bathroom, lol.

    Edit: I also found the coconut oil was good to remove wax from your hair, lol. oops

    sometimes I use it in place of olive oil, but I find that it has a slight coconut taste, so the food either needs to complement or overpower the flavor or its a little odd.

    I love just about everything, but current favorites:

    - Reduced Guilt Spinach & Ricotta Stuffed Shells (frozen)
    - Naan
    - Palak Paneer (frozen)
    - Dark chocolate, almond, and cashew trek mix
    - sweet and spicy mustard
    - Macaroni and cheese (frozen and the full-guilt kind -- so terrible for you, but so delicious)

    Fresh haricots verts!

    Their flavored seltzer waters that don't have any sweetener in them.

    One problem, their cheese selection is too good.


    YEEESSSSS!!! That Smoked Gouda Cheese literally changed my life!

    I am obsessed with Trader Joe's! Some of my faves are:

    Bean and Cheese Burritos (frozen), 260 calories each
    Broccoli and Cheese Quiche (frozen), 460 calories each
    Soyaki Sauce (teriyaki/soy) (bottle) - great for chicken, 70 cals per serving
    Rosemary Chicken Breast (fresh/prepackaged), 160 or so per serving
    Chips and Salsa (any kind)
    Great Meats and Fresh Fruits and Veggies

    Any of the salsas. When I'm craving it, I seriously just grab the jar and a spoon. It's amazing.
