i copied the product description for accuracy as I am not home to check the ingredients...I have put this on everything from tater tots to tuna noodle casserole...and Im gonna try it on my popcorn....
Love Trader Joe's! That is my go-to place for staples.

Have you ever had their chicken apple sausage? It is really good. They also sell french green beans that are amazing and $1.99lb frozen. They have dried mango that I love. Especially the chili spiced mango (the chili is getting redundant with me, I know).

But perhaps the best "find" at TJ is the frozen pizza that comes directly from Italy. They contract with a pizza maker exclusively. Seriously, less than $5.00 and you are dining in Rome.

chili is NEVER redundant!
<<spice girl

a good find for me at least at TJs is their tortellini in a mushroom sauce with asparagus....cant remember what the name of it is...tried it as a sample and ended up bringing some home....amazing....makes a small dinner for 2 if you add a salad and a nice bread....
right now the stuff at TJs thats making me crazy is the fall bakies...gingerbread and pumpkin pancake mix oh myyyy!
im a fan of their sweet and tangy trail mix also...but the things I most look forward to there are....
1. free coffee samples...so far Honduran is my fave...but I'm eager to try Ethiopian....
2. the dark chocolate tahitian vanilla caramels....its like legal crack....
yup....love me some trader joes....

I have to stay away from the legal crack-candy. There is too much there that is too good! Have you ever tried the chocolate pudding that they sell in the dairy case? If I am not mistaken its called Dark Chocolate Pudding. So one day years ago I did a dinner party as a gift for a Femme friend. There were about 12 people there I believe. At the last minute my dessert plan fell apart and I had to improvise. So I ran over to Trader Joe's grabbed some of the chocolate pudding, picked up some fresh raspberries and made a sauce to pour over the pudding. The pudding is very thick and decadent.

Well this dessert could not have been more simple, I just scooped some pudding into martini glasses, topped it with the raspberry sauce and viola.
This was served with some late harvest gewurztraminer and good Port.
The Femmes loved the dessert so much that they were licking the glasses clean. I will never forget that image. Beautiful Femmes, dressed in gorgeous attire, licking the martini glasses. Loved it.

Greyson! Good Lord friend! Listen to the lady! lol

That is very funny.

Julie I have used them as I would any other dried red bean. Are you looking for a particular dish? A main course perhaps?

Trader Joe's just opened in my vicinity about 3 weeks ago, I haven't been yet, but I am looking forward to it. My girl and I have regular skype dinner dates and I have been dreaming up this dish with small chicken meatballs filled with flavor and simmered in broth, with some pasta....Italian wedding soup but NOT. Don't know what it will turn out to be, but I'm looking forward to it.

Hey Mtn,

Go check it out! Give yourself plenty of time because the stores are compact and you are going to likely want to look through the items carefully. There is a lot that they pack into a small store. They do more volume than Whole Foods with much less space. Plus the prices are great so they move volume.

Your soup sounds like it is on its way to Italian Wedding Soup! LOL you can call it the Italian Rehearsal dinner soup.

Leftover chicken in my house gets doused with Tabasco and winds up in a taco or on top of rice and beans. I got it like that. Every protein starts to look like Taco filling to me. lol

And YES this thread will make you hungry. We need a warning label.

I am hearing from the thread readers who are not posting. On that note..post something folks! Just drop in and say hi.

LOL That sounds like me. I always make tacos with left over meat and as for the chili addiction I have it too. I will get on a kick where everything is spicy. I love fruit with chili on it. There is just something about the sweet and spicy mix.

You are cracking me up! Oh let me tell you I have a million stories. I'm gonna be telling them for a while.

Ok Godiva is the sacred temple of chocolate. So..find a store and register for the Godiva Club. Each time you go to a store, they give club members a piece of chocolate and you get special offers via email.
