Better n Peanut Butter
I bought this because I was curious. Oh yeah, and I am trying to lose pregnancy weight but am addicted to peanut butter.

I'm with the peanut butter purist. And this stuff is no peanut butter. Or even its 3rd cousin twice removed.

I'll learn to limit my portions of the Real McCoy, thank you.

Spearean Risotto
My toddler just loves this stuff. Actually, he likes all of the TJ's Risottos... But he'll eat bowls and bowls of this if you let him. Nice a creamy. It's not an "authentic" risotto. If you are looking for that, you will be disappointed. But it is very quick and easy to prepare in the microwave.

Stuffed Poblano Peppers
These babies are now a regular on my shopping list! Nice, bold flavor, microwaves well and you wouldn't know it was meatless. What more could you want? My toddler (who likes spicy food, go figure) asks for these at least once a week. They are spicy, so if you are not up on spicy, pass these up. But if you like spicy, flavorful food, this is for you.

I bought this without reading the ingredients on the label. I love roasted red peppers! Anyway, I made myself a cup and I took a sip and blech! It tasted like tomato soup! After looking at the label, I knew why - tomato is the "base" for this soup. Oh well, I'll know better next time. I'm sure it's yummy - if you also like tomato soup.

Prig Khing Green Beans
I agree... these are a wonderful way to eat green beans. The accompanying sauce packet(s) look and smell spicy but really are just very bold in flavor. They do have a *little* kick but nothing offensive. Even my toddler likes them
by90percentTJs, May 16, 2006
Surprisingly... my husband brought this home. He needed to make a stop at the restroom at TJ's and said it was at the sink (nice demo!) He liked the scent, so he brought it home. It's not too floral, not too sweet. Rinses clean (no funny film) and the pump works great. It's not the cheapest soap they sell, but a good quality soap worth seeking out.

Kalamata Olive Hummus
Well, I can't believe I am typing this... my 16 month old toddler thinks this is very tasty and calls for it by name. I have to agree with the little guy, this hummus is very tasty with a really good Kalamata Olive flavor.

My toddler loves these cookies! Really nice flavor, a gentle gingery spiciness. Not as strong as the Triple Ginger cookies - just right for young palates. And hey, the adults in the house find them tasty too!
by90percentTJs, April 4, 2006
This is a staple in our house. And the other fruit varieties are pretty good too. Hubby eats them as a snack, breakfast, what have you... He says they taste better than the other breakfast bars he's purchased at the local mega-mart.

Steel Cut Oatmeal
I finally picked up some of this, based on the reviews here. I think this is a fantastic product. It comes out a lot like my steel-cut via the stove top method. But then again, I may add more liquid than most.

I also appreciate the fact that it is not pre-sweetened (per se) leaving the final flavoring and sugar content up to my personal preference. It's also very convenient todller fodder as well.
by90percentTJs, March 31, 2006
For some reason, I wasn't all that thrilled with this mustard. It's sweet, yes. Spicy? I'm not so sure. Maybe it was the jar we bought. But it was definitely more sweet than hot. In fact it was really bordering on cloyingly sweet. Maybe I'll have to get another jar.

Spicy Jalapeno Chicken Sausage
This is my favorite sausage - Trader Joe's or otherwise. It's a nice, quick bit of protein to pack in the lunchbox, is great mixed into rice and beans and makes a great "hot dog." Yes, it does have a nick kick to it. But that's great for me. My husband won't eat spicy stuff, so I know that what I buy will be there waiting for me when I want to grab some from the fridge.

Ginger Chews
I am always looking for more ways to get in some beneficial ginger and this is a really tasty way to do it! It's got quite a little kick to it, beware. But I have turned on three of my co-workers to these chewy little gems. Really nice as a pick-me-up near the end of the day when you just want to lay your head on your desk and take a nap.
by90percentTJs, March 30, 2006
It was pretty good. Very sweet. Certainly needed a glass of milk, or some Soy Delicious to go with it. It's not the healthiest dessert option in the Frozen food case, so it's good for occasional indulgences.
by90percentTJs, March 30, 2006
I bake with a lot of chocolate. And if you are like me, you knwo that good choclate can be pretty expensive. Thankfully, the Pound Plus bars (which is exactly what it says, a pound, plus a few ounces more of chocolate) are a decent quality chocolate and a fabulous price $3.49 - a real bargain. At this price, I can make my Death by Chocolate cake with Chocolate ganache frosting more often.
by90percentTJs, March 30, 2006
I LOVE the cookies! They have a really nice, warm ginger-y flavor. Just sweet enough, with the right crunch for a cookie. I love to make little mini ice cream sandwiches with vanilla Soy Delicious and these cookies. Very tasty. Oh, and any crumbs that just happen to be in the bottom of the bin taste great over ice cream.

Yogurt Dill Papadums
We found the Tandoori Papadums to be addictive. Each time we bring a bag into the house, it is gone that same day. Very light, crispy and easy to just eat the whole bag yourself if you are not careful. Doesn't weigh heavy in your gut like potato chips...

Flame Grilled Buffalo Patties
My hubby takes these for lunch. Believe it or not, he nukes it (in the package, I believe) and slaps it on a bun with some lettuce and tomato. He likes them so much, we go through two boxes a week. Crazy man...
by90percentTJs, March 30, 2006
First, you need to know what you are looking for if you haven't seen these little gems - you might miss them!

These are a small package, green lid about 3 inches square, with about 25 (I think) little cubes of either Parsley, Garlic or Basil. I love these. I just pop out a cube or two right from the freezer right into sauces. I use two cubes of garlic and a cube of parsley and a cube of basil to a stick of butter on the stove and I have an instant scampi sauce in under 5 minutes. (Feel free to add a splash of white wine if you wish.)

Now, I only wish they had frozen snashed ginger! Then, Stir Fry would be breeze!

Thai Style Soy Ginger Carrots With Toasted Almonds
My husband LOVES these veggies. Especially if I am making couscous with dinner. He loves the fact that there is usually more than enough sauce from the carrots to mix in with the couscous.

If you haven't tried their Fire Roasted Vegetabls in Balsamic Butter Sauce (another veggie blend with the little frozen sauce nuggets right in the bag) then you must seek them out as well. hmmm... better write a review on them...
