Trader Joe Recommendations?

[GracieLouFreebush1]

The closest TJs to us is an hour away but I'll be up there this weekend so I'd like to stock up on some of your favorites.  No cookie butter though , I'm going to try to eat healthier to start losing more of this baby weight.

Almond, cashew, cranberry trail mix

I love the freeze-dried fruit - especially when your kiddo gets a bit older, they are awesome, nearly-mess-free snacks.

Individual chicken tikka masala frozen meals - we throw two of these in the oven and warm up some of their frozen naan bread for nights when we need quick meals.

If you ever worry about gluten free, they have some pretty delicious frozen pancakes!

Hard boiled eggs - I know they are easy to make, but it's nice to have these on-hand for salads and baby snacks

They have the best price I've seen on EnviroKidz Peanut Butter Panda Puffs, which are like a slightly less guilt-inducing version of Peanut Butter Crunch. Love.

Vodka sauce

PB Joe Joes (ok, just remembered you're not buying the cookie butter...so maybe you don't want cookies either)

I feel like they have good prices on organic meat, we usually buy chicken there, and their chicken sausages are pretty good

[ladygrey]

Their full-fat Greek yogurt is the best I've found for DD.

Other favorites: orange chicken, almond butter, sea salt chocolate almonds, and hummus

[anaps28]

We just had their pre cooked ribs last night they were really good!

There is a frozen vegetable medley with wild rice that's an easy go to midweek when you need a side

The gnocchi sorrentino- frozen

The fruit bars are great for the kids ( this blueberry walked into a bar etc)

My son also likes their applesauce squeezy packs.

Pizza dough

Pesto (the kind in the refridgerated section)

Mozarella balls (much cheaper than the ones at our grocery store)

Wine

Well due to my dietary restrictions right now my recommendationd are different than they normally would be but here is what I get all the time:
Olive tapenade
Frozen leeks
Frozen mango
Herb popcorn
Coconut cream for smoothies
Pine apple juice
Dark chocolate mini peanut butter cups for H
Graham crackers for J
Organic applesauce for j
Coconut milk yogurt for j
Almond milk for j
Whatever produce looks good
Used to get the roasted veggie pizza, butternut squash risotto, asparagus risotto, spicy beef and broccoli, middle eastern flat bread but can't have any of these anymore

[bowies]

Thai noodle salad (deli section)
Chicken and goat cheese/cranberry/walnut salad (deli)
Eggplant/zucchini slices (frozen)
Curry naan
Chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches
Tortellini/ravioli
Fresh sliced mango, watermelon
Any of the veggie or potato medleys (frozen)
Cheese
Almond flavored champagne (might be prosecco...it's been a while)


ETA: Oh, and the crab cakes and mushroom risotto are my favorite things there (frozen).

They used to sell these salmon crepes that were to die for...sigh. I always look for them in the vain hope they've brought them back. Same with the Swedish donuts.

[ilikedonuts]

We love their frozen fried rice and orange chicken in our house. DD1 loves the Granola bars.

Everything else we get is really unhealthy!

[SpartanGirl]

Roasted red pepper and tomato soup. I will never eat regular tomato soup again after trying this.
Wild Blueberry Vanilla Chèvre (cheese with blueberries). Spread it on Nilla Wafers and it's incredible.

[purplecow0206]

I just made a tasty sandwich with ground beef, TJ broccoli slaw, sloppy joe sauce, shredded cheese and pita bread. It was yummy!

Sent from my VS870 4G using proboards

[geek96]

Mochi mango ice cream

[hockeywife]

Sesame covered almonds. SO good!

[sent]

Crunchy Curls. I used to crumble these into my salad for the crunch.

[Deleted]

We buy our produce there too, but TJ's is known for their packaged food. 

Our regulars include:
frozen naan
frozen Indian curries
frozen mango
dried figs
wine
beer

I love their desserts too:
frozen mochi ice-cream
frozen macarons

This is my favorite thing from TJ's:
