For those of you who go to Trader Joe's, what are your favorite products? I'm always looking for something new to try.

The TJ items that are ALWAYS in my house are the Mahi Mahi Burgers, Roasted Potatoes with Peppers & Onions, Frozen Cauliflower rice, and the Chocolate Mini Hold The Cone Ice creams.

    @usmcmp How hot are those chips? They intrigue me and I like spicy but not blow your head off spicy.

    They have really good flavor, a little kick but not bad. The crunch of them is perfect and everyone I share them with loves them.

    I love that salad dressing! One of my favorites. May need to pick some up today along with usmcmp's ghost pepper chips.

    Trader joe's is in the same shopping center as my gym. It turns out to be pretty good incentive for hitting the gym. :)

    Oooh, I almost forgot about the dark chocolate caramel wedges. I wedge is like 35 calories and it's the perfect size and richness and delicious amazingness that I generally just have one before bed and I'm super satisfied.

    I'm going to have to try the almonds.

    I don't normally go to TJ's but had to drive past it yesterday and popped in. I found tins of 'Dal Mekhani'. Beyond knowing dal is lentils of course I have no idea what this stuff is. Anyway this stuff is awesome. It has visible orange fat so I had to warm it up a little. I put some on my large celery, tomatoes, mushrooms, onion etc salad. Amazing. At the end of the day I was eating broccolette just dipping it in the stuff and munching.

    Prepared hollandaise sauce.

    Mine always breaks and it's just easier to use TJ'S when makibg eggs benedict or as a topping for asparagus. It's just a little lite on lemon and tabassco, so I just add some b4 serving.

    We really like a variety of the patties/burgers, especially the turkey, chili-lime chicken, salmon, and tuna. We also like the whole milk Greek yogurt, the ricotta cheese that has no additives, the light feta which is remarkably cheap, the pesto in the fridge case (not the jars), the salt-free tortilla chips, etc. We got to TJ's about twice a month and another supermarket once a week.

    Went to TJ's for the first time today. Bought the uncured (nitrate free) bacon and the Chicken and Apple Sausage which is also nitrate free. Also bought the cauliflower rice. Will try them all this week!

    Kung pao cauliflower. It's my current obsession there
    And the cheese- but that's in moderation.
