LOVE trader Joes wish it was closer (closest is about an hour away) so my husband and I stock up on:
TJ natural crunchy peanut butter
Organic jams/jellys
whole wheat and cinnamon/raisin english muffins
rye and wheat sprouted bread
Tortilla chips-I like the ones with flax seed and the super seed ones
dark chocolate edamame (even my husband loves these and he hates regular edamame
TJ harvest grain mix
assortmant of their sweet wines
feta cheese with mediterranian herbs
chicken drumsticks
TJ pasta shells with brie cheese and asparagus
organic chocolate syrup
fruits and veggies
In all honesty? I'd never before tried Brie cheese OR Asparagus, so part of why I purchased it as well, to get some new taste developed.
Any cheese suggestions from anyone are more than welcomed!:flowerforyou: I've not branched out very far and now realize the world is full of cheeses waiting to be tried. I grew up eating Velveeta:blushing: , then branched out to pkg'd cheddar cheese etc. I had no clue real American cheese was actually white until not too many years back.:laugh:
So far it's been Fontina, Brie and that's as far as I've gotten. Would love to get brave and try some goat cheese & others but don't know what to do with it or what type to try.
Again, would welcome any suggestions as this whole Trader Joe's experience is so new to me, it's like a whole world of choices has been opened up to me.Regular grocery stores have nothing on Trader Joe's. :noway: Least in my book
Definitely try the fat free feta from TJ's, it's great on salads, veggies, etc. I LOVE cheese, really I like pretty much every cheeseHowever, I really don't eat that much any longer. I will buy parmasean from TJ's and it's great to add a bit on top of spaghetti, etc and you don't need much because it's got a pretty strong flavor...much better than the stuff in the green can. Another fav I have is the stilton cheese with fruit in it (cranberries, apricots, etc). I could eat that by the spoonful! TJ's also has a goat cheese that's coated in a cranberry sauce stuff that is great on crackers. Hope this helps!

Does anyone drink Trader Joes Organic Fat Free milk? I tried it today and it was good. My question is normal fat free milk last 8 to 10 days pass the expiration date. Does Organic Fat Free milk last just as long pass the expiration date?0

glad you asked, the lists people are putting together are great0 -
I LOVE their version of Funyons. The baked onion rings are great.
I also like their mandarin chicken, it tastes like seasame chicken from a chinese place but it's not that bad for you!
And their fried rice is fantastic.
I like to go to Trader Joes to get my "unhealthy" food because there it's not as unhealthy, and it tastes so much better because it's fresh and organic0 -
Also their chicken sausages are great! They're a great replacement if you're a hot dog lover, brat, or italian sausage lover. Basically it's a great substitute for pork.0

Chocolatey Cats, Ginger Cats, great low cal vice! Reduced fat provolone cheese (my husband insisted I add that). My husband also loves the dried white peaches.0

A few off the top of my head:
Vodka sauce, Lobster Ravioli, Goat Crumbles, Wasabi Arugula, Chardonnay Apple Chicken Sausage, Luna Bars in bulk boxes - (Peanut butter Cookie, Chocolate Dipped Coconut (never tried Luna bars, these are delish and a pretty good nutrition label balance). TJ's Valencia Oranges, Le Rouge Red Peppers, TJ's spices with grinders. Their real Vanilla (OMG!), TJ's milk, eggs are ooh so fresh!
TJ's MultiGrain 6 Gram Fiber Bread = yummy & healthy!
oh so much more I've tried since they opened. LOL
21 Salute Seasoning (doesn't contain sodium) is fabulous on anything! Lemon Pepper Grinder (again no sodium in any of these), I'm working on collecting all their spices! I buy one or so every few weeks along with new veggies or fruits new to me.
I love that they do samples for each meal, it's really helped me to educate myself about various cheeses and greens!0 -
Garlic potatoes with parmesan. Not the healthiest thing in their store, but it's surprisingly low calorie for such a filling potato (side) dish.
Also, their multigrain fiber bread! It contains no preservatives and it definitely doesn't have that weird bread odor that I smell from preservative-containing bread.0 -
TJ's Citrus Chicken Salad... 220 calories IF you use the entire dressing... even less if you don't use all of the salad dressing. It is great!!0
-
Wow - we love the same exact products! lol You have good taste!0

Now I'm REALLY hungry !!0

The frozen Chicken Tikka Masala is soooooo good. Perfect size, perfect spice. yummm.
I also love their premade salads, like Lemon Chicken Salad. The guiltless Mac and Cheese is tasty. And I like their greek yogurts for breakfast.0 -
