Chimichuri rice in the freezer section- Full of veggies, peruvian rice
Frozen minced garlic, basil, and cilantro. Great for backup!
They have these individual pizzas that were really cheap. Look for the 5 inch kind
Their wheat pizza dough is tastey on the grill. We’ve also done the garlic as breadsticks
Canned Roast Beef is great with gravy over rice or even on nachos!
Have you tried their 3 layer hummas? I LOVE it with the rice crackers!
Frozen Eclairs- probably not so healthy, but yummy!

I’m glad to see what everyone else has fell in love with. New ideas for me!

Kiersten- I love love chocolate covered raisins, so I’d probably like the craisin kind, too. The mandarin orange sauce sounds intriguing. I think I need to try that.

Christa- You’re hilarious. I love your list. I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of the pita chips for the hummus. I usually heat up a tortilla, so those would be great! Making hummus at home started because I felt like we’d buy it and not eat it. It was hard to predict when we’d be craving it. So now I just keep cans on hand, and we usually have tahini around anyway for these veggie burgers I make, so that way I can have hummus in 5 minutes if I want it. I will also have to hunt town these crunchy curls. Sounds good.

Lesley- I tried to make homemade naan once in college and it didn’t come out right. I have a long history of failing with yeasted goods. Maybe you could put up a tutorial for it when you’re back in Utah. I did try one of the Indian sauces before and I agree they are great. I keep meaning to get some again, so now I definitely have to! Oh, and even the frozen naan that they sell at TJ’s is pretty good, and much better than I could make, so I even double cheat and buy both parts of the Indian meal there. Hehe.

Morgan- First of all, it surprised me to see your name because of course when I think of Morgan now I think of my kiddo, and I was like, “wuh…?” for a second when I saw you commented. I’m brilliant, right, wondering how a four month old could have left a comment. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I have a bizarr-o craving for spaghetti o’s Odd. I’ll have to try them, too, TJ style.

Liz- I think you’ll have some more exciting culinary experiences to tell us all about. TJ’s is wonderful, but yours will be a little more… unique. Hehe. I may have to get the stir fry, though. Hmmm.

Pretty much everything is wonderful at TJs. Now I’m more disappointed than ever that I am so far removed from one. Oh well.

yum.

mmmm I’m drooling just thinking about it. Why the heck don’t we have them in Utah?

Oh, and you HAVE to try the shrimp and lemongrass potstickers. They’re a great quick-meal.

Seriously. I’ll stop now.

* Definitely try the Crunchy Curls – they’re made from lentil flour and potato starch, so they’re decently low in calories and high in fiber and protein for a chip-replacement snack.
* The “reduced-guilt” sea salt pita chips are a staple in my snack cupboard, too, to go with the hummus. (Mmmmm, hummus! I think I’ll start making my own like you – so much cheaper and better.
* The tomato and roasted red pepper soup (in a box) is another staple of mine, as are the chicken and salsa verde frozen enchiladas.
* The Lara Bars are great – they’re vegan, and despite being fruit, they’re low glycemic, thanks to the nuts in them (I loooove the cherry and apple ones).
* The five-seed almond bars are a fabulous breakfast/snack food as well. Sweet without being too sweet, and the pumpkin seeds and spices make them autumnal, if that makes sense. So delish!

Wow, and I could just keep going… but I’ll stop. Well… two more:
* The black licorice scotty dogs are fabulous if you like black licorice (Christina liked them, and she’s not a huge black licorice fan!).
* I also love the chocolate meringue crisps – they use cocoa, so you get the chocolatey flavor without all the fat and calories. Awesome stuff.

Can you tell that I do 80 percent of my shopping at Trader’s? (Well… since discovering Henry’s, it’s a little less, but I buy 80 percent of my stuff between the two. So much cheaper, healthier and better than mainstream grocery stores!)

Last time I was visiting my parents my mom suggested trying TJ’s maple pecan cereal covered in maple yogurt instead of milk for breakfast. That was really, really good too.
