as for non-meat eaters, they of course have lots of unique options but i'm still not sold on trader joe's faux meat products. except for the meatless corn dogs, i really don't like any of their veggie burgers or veggie chicken products. i think their chicken nuggets tastes like wet cardboard rolled in sawdust. disbelief

I keep wondering why they won't stock the Mushroom Lovers patties by Morning Star Farms, those are divine love But they stick to the plain old veggie patties confused


i've just learned not to go to TJs for that kind of stuff...the local rainbow/jewel supermarkets always have a much better selection of frozen veggie protein stuff. i never miss not browsing those items at TJs, though - in fact, i like that they have so many veg-friendly products that i can go weeks without having to throw a boca burger in the microwave, because i have so much INTERESTING stuff in the pantry.

LOVE LOVE LOVE TJ's
Their soups in the crock shaped cans are deelish
The three ginger ginger snaps
Cranberry walnut torte
There is a fabulous goat cheese that is so smmoth and rich
I buy the almonds, walnuts and all the dried fruits to make my own dried fruit/nut mix. It's expensive when added all together but there is enough to share ~ a large baggie for about 6 people
Asparagus rositto
Much more that I'm not thinking of now drool

Their fat-free greek honey yogurt is the best thing ever.

I love Trader Joe's. They also have pretty good coffee and tea.

those are FANTASTIC. i have a big tub of those in the kitchen right now, too!

i love the crock-shaped cans of soup, but they're a little pricey for being single serve. those definitely go in the "special treat" category during winter.

Actually, it's Krystal , but everyone adds the "'s." I've never eaten there, but it's apparently to Nashville what White Castle is to the NYC area -- though we have White Castle here, too.

Odd, the Al Jarreau McDonald's jingle just popped into my head. I need to go lie down somewhere.
