One of LO's favorite foods too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2312082 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 18:39:19 +0000 Bao 2312082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: I will! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2312081 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 18:38:41 +0000 Kimberlybee 2312081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Tell us how you like the spinach tortellini. I have been wanting try that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2310982 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 15:32:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 2310982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: I just had my wisdom teeth out and lived on the tomato/red pepper soup! SO GOOD! </p> <p>my favorites:<br /> pumpkin muffin/bread mix<br /> tomato red pepper soup<br /> butternut squash soup<br /> sweet chili sauce<br /> sesame oil (cheaper here than anywhere else)<br /> cookie butter<br /> chocolate covered almonds<br /> pretzel bread<br /> pre-made pizza dough (we like the garlic/herb one for just bread with dinner)<br /> tortellini (I get the spinach too, but also cheese and the proscetto one is good!)<br /> tomato basil spaghetti sauce<br /> edamame hummus </p> <p>Frozen foods:<br /> orange and mandarian chicken<br /> fried rice<br /> mini quiche<br /> frozen hashbrowns </p> <p>I'm sure three are a bunch more but off the top of my head.</p> <p>if you ever have a party, the cheese selection is great too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2310964 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 15:02:40 +0000 Corduroy 2310964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second or third the chocolate covered almonds with sea salt. So addictive but so good. LO found them once and we thought we were busted but she thought they were "animal poo poos". Ha.</p> <p>Wine, cheese, flowers, frozen meats &amp; veggies.</p> <p>We also make a super easy and healthy dip with their refrigerated lentils and black bean dip stirred together. Not too pretty but delish and pretty filling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2310858 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 12:34:25 +0000 YogiRunner 2310858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is so helpful...I'm 9 1/2 weeks pregnant and am having a hard time cooking anything myself, so I am loving the quick/easy frozen meal suggestions that aren't filled with ingredients I can't pronounce. There is a TJ's fairly close to me that I keep forgetting about, even though I used to practically live there in my old neighborhood.</p> <p>My own little addition is their curry chicken salad in the grab n' go section for a quick lunch. SO good. And their flowers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2310845 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 12:22:30 +0000 Mrs D 2310845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy the following when I go (every 2 months):</p> <p>-Roasted Red Pepper tomato soup<br /> -Pumpkin flavored everything<br /> -Cookie Butter<br /> -Nuts (Almonds, Pecan, Cashews, Marcona Almonds, Truffle nuts)<br /> -Dried Fruit (blueberries, cranberries, cherries, apricots, apples)<br /> -Ezekiel Bread<br /> -Irish Steel Cut Oats ($2 cheaper than my normal grocery store)<br /> -Fresh Flowers<br /> -Beer/Wine....killer deals </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2310796 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 11:48:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2310796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: woohoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2310760 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 11:10:27 +0000 Bao 2310760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is what I got! </p> [attach=1420/15/nvr8xf.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2310391 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:57:27 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2310391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I'd say it is mildly sweet. I normally hate sweet wine, but this is actually my go to for summer in Texas. It is so light and easy to drink that it is great when it is 100+ degrees outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2310329 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 19:10:39 +0000 MrsYellowJacket 2310329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: sea salt dark chocolate almonds and cheap wine!

Better than their fried rice with protein included - the ingredients are different in other unexpected ways.</p> <p>for entertaining (frozen):<br /> * spinach dip<br /> * pigs in a blanket (in puff pastry)<br /> * spinach/kale bites -- these were a HUGE hit with all the babies/toddlers at DS' birthday party! I was shocked, but all the kids were all gobbling them down.<br /> * dumplings</p> <p>Seriously, I can't recommend the spinach/kale bites enough. All of the moms at the party were asking for my magical recipe, and were thrilled to find out it was just frozen TJs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2303497 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 18:03:59 +0000 Bao 2303497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: what did you get today?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2303463 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 16:56:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 2303463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: :shocked: really???

Pumkin cheesecake in the frozen section was AMAZING. But here are some faces that P and I love. </p> <p>Refrigerated Spinach Tortellini<br /> Frozen Chicken Green Chili Burritos<br /> Frozen Orange Chicken<br /> Frozen Jasmine Rice<br /> Cheese (bacon cheddar and cranberry stilton are faced when they have it)<br /> Tortilla chips<br /> Chia seeds (lowest prices)<br /> Coconut oil (again, lowest price)<br /> K cups (french roast<br /> Frozen Chicken Chili Lime burgers<br /> Reduced Guilt Guacamole</p> <p>I really love Trader joes for convenience items that are well made. Frozen dinners and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1/page/2#post-2303359 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 12:21:53 +0000 snowjewelz 2303359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: It's in the frozen section with the seafood. It's just little scallops and peas in a creamy sauce, so for a super quick dinner we just put in pasta! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1#post-2303241 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 07:50:32 +0000 looch 2303241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: what's this scallop item?

Produce often iffy as others have mentioned. I do love their bagged kale (organic tuscan kale) and broccoli (organic florets) as both are pre-washed and cut and I can easily serve them as snack or side dish, or use in cooking or smoothies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trader-joes-1#post-2302748 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 20:07:34 +0000 lady grey 2302748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cheese, they have fancy ones but also good prices on sliced &amp; shredded. Organic milk. Organic produce. Nuts. Dried fruit. Yogurt. Olive oil. Lara bars.</p> <p>For LO: organic string cheese, Inner Peas crisps, mini "party" meatballs, chicken apple sausage, freeze dried fruit </p>
