Mache
This lettuce is a little pricey, but it is worth it. It is so delicate and flavorful. Mache (pronounced “mosh”) is by far my favorite lettuce. I buy a bag every time I go to Trader Joe’s.
Black Diamond Extra Sharp Sliced Cheddar Cheese
I love cheddar cheese, and this is my favorite cheddar cheese ever. I usually just eat it on a slice of bread, but it would be great on a burger.
Chopped Basil
This makes an outstanding substitute for fresh basil. It tastes so much better than dried basil, and it keeps much longer than the fresh stuff.
Vegetable Egg Rolls
I have heard a lot of people recommend the spinach eggrolls, but I like these much better. I just heat them up in my toaster oven and dip them in soy sauce. Yum!
Black Bean & Corn Enchilada
These make a great take to work lunch. They are dairy free (vegan), but please don’t let that stop you from trying them. I love cheese, but these enchiladas are fantastic without it.
Jasmine Rice
This is the ultimate convenience food. Each box includes 3 bags each filled with 2 cups of frozen rice. You just throw a bag in the microwave and 3 minutes later you have perfect fluffy rice. Now when I want rice with dinner I don’t even have to think about it …
California Rice Trilogy
This is a mixture of two types of brown rice and wild rice. I use it in place of brown rice to make things more interesting.
Madras Lentils
This is currently my favorite Trader Joe’s product. I love heating these up for a quick and super tasty lunch. Trader Joe’s sells other varieties of boxed Indian meals, but this one is my favorite by far. I like to eat it alone, but it is also good over a bed …
Carrot Ginger Soup
I never would have tried this if Trader Joe’s hadn’t been giving it out as samples one day when I was shopping. I don’t like carrots very much, and I thought this soup looked gross. I could not have been more wrong. This is without a doubt my favorite Trader Joe’s …
Marinara Sauce
I love this marinara sauce because it is cheap, low in calories/fat, and it tastes really good. It is my favorite basic pasta sauce.
