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.
Misc
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 …
Chocolate Chips
hey, at $1.49/bag, you can’t beat it. In fact, I eat them like candy — yes, they are that good…
Abrazo Del Toro Garnacha Tempranillo Red Wine
This wine, at only $3.99/bottle is quite a steal. This has become our “house” wine in our apartment. Such a steal — measures up to bottles priced in the $10-15 range easily. Great with pizza, pastas, or on its own!

Mushroom Tortellini
Get it while it’s hot! Shelf says $1.99, register says $0.99! Makes a great meat for 2-3 people just add sauce or veggies or butter/garlic.
Cornbread Mix
This cornbread is absolutely delicious! It’s got a delicate, crusty exterior and a moist interior with just a hint of sweetness. And it couldn’t be easier to make — just add an egg, some oil, and a little milk, and bake. Amazing flavor for such little work. I like to serve …
Tabula Rasa Pizza Crust
This is ready to go, just add your toppings and bake for 10-12 minutes. Very light and crisp, didn’t taste “pre-fab” at all~~no one believes that it isn’t homemade. The shelf life is unbelievable long, too—like 3 months in advance. Handy!
Dried Dragon Fruit
If you haven’t tried it, you must! Dried Dragon Fruit, has no preservitives or added sugar, and it is delicous!! It is naturally a brilliant fucsia color.
Santinis Extra Virgin Olive Oil
32 fluid oz bottle of extra virgin olive oil is the best tasting olive oil for everyday cooking (and for salads) ever! Moreover, priced at 6.99, it is the bargain of the century! Comparable products in most supermarkets start at 14.99 and go up to about 17.99.
