Salted Popped Potato Chips
i found these incredibly salty. maybe the bbq ones are better?

Mini Croissants Ready to Bake
i love these and the chocolate croissants. they are delicious and so easy to make! i just pop a few on my toaster oven baking sheet and let them rise in the oven overnight or all day, then bake until golden. et voila! fresh, flaky, buttery croissants! mmmm.

i heard that these are made by the same baker who makes williams sonoma's significantly more expensive frozen croissants. what a deal! i love TJ's!

i am hoping they'll make mini chocolate croissants next. :D

i really liked this too, but because it's dark meat, there are some fatty pieces. the chicken is already grilled and it has an authentic grilled flavor that enhances the taste. there's enough sauce to drizzle over rice. i think it's funny that it tastes like BBQ chicken at a cajun cafe (but i haven't tried cajun BBQ chicken) -- to me it tastes like what you'd get at an asian eatery (japanese or hawaiian).

Gluten Free Frozen Pancakes
they have a different texture from regular pancakes, but they're still good especially since they're so quick -- i use my microwave and they're done in under 2 minutes. i like that they're packaged in 3s inside the box because it protects the remaining pancakes from freezer burn (plus it's a good form of portion control).

i served these as an appetizer for thanksgiving dinner, and everyone loved them! they were gone in a flash. the filling is a little bit on the sweet side from the caramelized onions, but i think it's perfectly complemented by the tang of the feta.

Donsuemor Madeleines French Cakes
i've tried other madeleines but these are my favorite. they just have such a delicate yet full flavor, and a soft tender texture that doesn't need to be dipped in tea or coffee (but works well in that capacity as well). their lemon flavor is really good as well (but tj's doesn't carry it).

Chocolate Croissants
whoever thought of this is a genius! because you bake them yourself, you get the fresh-baked bakery taste in the convenience of your own home. i skip the optional egg wash and they come out perfectly browned and flaky. i've even gotten two of my friends hooked on these croissants!

i love garlic, and i thought these were good! i guess you REALLY have to be a garlic lover though. if it's your first time trying these, start out with just a little bit of the garlic packet and proceed with caution. i used the whole thing and i loved it! :) (fries were kinda weird though. sort of salty tasting, but edible.)

have you tried the other prepared guacs out there? horrible! this is as close as you can get to freshly made, but i do think it needs some lime juice and cilantro to spice it up. i find it pretty chunky already!

forget the cookie dough that comes in rolls - this is more convenient AND it tastes 100x better! the dough comes already formed into balls, plus because the dough is frozen, it means you can just make a few at a time without worrying that the rest of the dough will go bad. and the taste is almost or even better than homemade! i checked the ingredient list and the cookie dough is made of "real" ingredients -- flour, eggs, vanilla, chocolate, etc... and REAL butter.

i ate a frozen dough ball while waiting for the cookies to bake and by the taste of the raw dough, i could tell the finished product would be excellent... and it was! i just wish i'd found these sooner! time to stock up. ;)

i love that you can microwave it and that each serving is individually packaged. and it's delicious!

Potato Cheddar Pierogi
i haven't had "real" pierogies but these were really good. i did brown them after boiling, and they turned out nice and crisp on the outside and satisfyingly chewy and soft in the middle.

Citrus Glazed Chicken
i added more broccoli, and felt that the amount of sauce provided was just right. (kinda too salty without the additional broccoli). oh and i took out the plentiful chunks of red bell pepper since i'm not a fan of those. and didn't add the cashews since they were kind of soft and pathetic... maybe if i had toasted them, they'd have perked up? overall a good dish, and my bf approved too.

the flavors are good, but i think the texturelessness of the potato and melted cheese needs to be broken up a bit with some salsa or something. i like it with tj's salsa especial (? i think this is what it's called).

Garlic Naan Bread
i don't think this is as good as the naan they serve at the restaurants. for one thing, it's too bready and maybe too thick. however, it tastes pretty good, and if you're having indian food at home, it's a good substitute for the real thing.

i wasn't expecting too much from this, thinking that they'd come out soggy or lack flavor, but i was happily surprised by how yummy this is when baked in my toaster oven. the trick is to heat it until it's crisp around the edges. i believe a dipping sauce is also provided. :D

i felt that the flavor was lacking something... the chicken did grill up tender and tasted good with salsa, but it needed something to round out the flavor and i'm not sure what it is! oh and one other thing -- the package says the chicken is thinly sliced but it just looked like boneless breasts to me. they're pretty big.

Tuna in Red Panang Curry Sauce (hot)
i love how quick and easy it is to whip up a thai meal using this and tj's frozen jasmine rice! i kind of wish the tuna chunks were slightly smaller, but it's not a big deal. it tastes pretty authentic to me, but i think panang curry is usually a bit creamier.

Candy Cane Trader Joe Joes Cookies
i haven't tried the regular joe-joe's but i couldn't resist trying these, and i'm glad because they are quite delicious! they have just the right amount of peppermint flavor, and the cookie part complements the filling perfectly. i also really like the design of the box.

Strawberry Preserves with Fresh Strawberries
After I tried these "fresh" preserves, I can't go back to other preserves. It's the huge chunks of fruit in every jar that have spoiled me! I love both the strawberry and apricot.
