Frozen
Penne Arrabiata
This frozen bag of pasta delivers a restaurant quality Italian meal in 5-10 minutes. It’s incredibly easy to prepare: just heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet, add the contents of the bag, and stir occasionally. If you want to get creative, you can add chopped tomatoes, onions or even …
Mini Croissants Ready to Bake
After the popularity of the Chocolate Croissants, I commented that I really wished they had a plain version, and a few posters agreed with me. Trader Joe’s in all its wisdom, came out with a plain version, recently. 8 mini, ready to bake frozen croissants. You place them on a baking …
Striper Fillet
The new frozen item called striper fillet is so great that even my 6 kids will eat it without breading and my kids oh boy they are really picky. Thank you Trader Joe’s for that great new item!
Chicken Gorgonzola
My new favorite item is the Chicken Gorgonzola, it’s best in the microwave, too dry if you make it in the oven. It tastes so gourmet just like an italian restuarant. It’s moist, with chunks of tomatoe, and slices of mushroom. Yum-yum!
BBQ Chicken Teriyaki
This is a bag of frozen chicken (thigh?) pieces along with separate sauce packets. You must need to microwave the chicken and sauce separately and mix together. It tastes almost exactly like the BBQ chicken at the Cajun Cafe in the mall food court, which my son absolutely loves. Serve with …
Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas
These are delicious! I’ve been on an enchilada kick lately, and decided to try the roasted vegetable enchiladas although initially put off by the absence of meat. It turned out that I totally didn’t miss the meat, thanks to the zesty tomato-based sauce, plentiful cheese, and yummy veggies including corn, spinach, …
Dim Sum Shrimp Har Gao and Shrimp Shu Mai
I thought this was fairly good dim sum! The fillings are shrimp, fish, yam bean, onion and tapioca flour which taste quite authentic. Each of the roughly 20 pieces is .5 grams of fat and 50 calories and taste great dipped in Trader Joe’s Gyoza Sauce. We steamed and then pan …
Mini Beef Tacos
There are about 24 mini tacos in this pack and are absolutely awesome as a quick snack and for entertaining. The ingredients are actually just the taco tortilla and beef filling. You heat it up in the oven or microwave (both good) and then you add the shredded lettuce, tomato, cheese, …
Raspberry and Brie in Fillo
This might be the best appetizer they make. I served these up on Thanksgiving, then tried to look modest, like I’d made them. Just enough raspberry to brie, all wrapped in a crispy crust. Directions say no more than 15 minutes at 375, but they never get quite brown. Next time …
