I love that this mix allows you to add your own milk. So many mixes contained dry powdered milk, which makes it off limits for those of us who are lactose-intolerant, milk allergic or vegan. This is a wonderful product. And it's fantastic with soy milk or rice or oat milk or whatever. And the peppermint makes it just heavenly. Yum....

Neither my boyfriend nor I are vegetarians and we love these meatless meatballs. There are flavorful, low in fat, high in fiber, filling. And great in whatever kind of sauce you wish, or even plain. These are now a staple in our freezer.

These are so good that they are frequently sold out at the TJs in Union Square. I think they are perfectly spicy. And neither too greasy nor too dry. They're just the perfect balance in a sausage.

I was pretty disappointed with this curry sauce. Instead of adding a cup of water, I only added a 1/4 cup. And it was really watery, thin and bland. I tried to pep it up with some herbs and spices of my own. But I'd have to say that my chickpea & cauliflower curry that I mind was my least favorite TJ's meal in a long time. This simmer sauce is in desperate need of some flavor. Yeah.

I love lime and I love spicy hot habanero, but I really didn't like the taste of this salsa. Which really surprised me. I can't put my finger on it, but I felt there was something off with it. My boyfriend loved it though, which is bizarre, because he's generally not a fan of spicy food.

This tapenade has a very nice suble flavor. We used it last night with TJ's scallops and TJ's spelt pasta and TJ's frozen spinach. It was a really wonderfully flavored meal. I did add some crushed red pepper flakes to it, to give it more heat. But both my boyfriend and I loved it.

I always look for these, and many times they are sold out. These are perfectly spicy and delicious. And relatively lower in fat than other sausages. Hands down, this is my favorite sausage.

To me, these were more like cake. Much too sweet for me, and not nearly spicy at all. I mean, not even a little bit. I enjoy my cornbread a bit more savory, with the only sweetness coming from the sweetness of the corn itself. I felt like I was eating dessert with my dinner.

My boyfriend and I love these spinach egg rolls for so many reasons. They are lactose free, which is so wonderful, it means I can enjoy them too. They're delicious and filling. And I really appreciate the use of whole wheat dough. We always buy these two at a time. And, we're not even vegetarian. These are amazing!!!

I really wanted to like these. But the very low-fat turkey burgers I make from scratch are much more juicy than these. I haven't figured out how to cook these frozen ones without them drying out. And I love turkey burgers. So, I was a bit disappointed.

My boyfriend is in love with these frozen cherries. He uses them in smoothies, in his oatmeal and on his cereal. Every time we go to TJ's we buy two.

I love their chopped and frozen basil, cilantro and parsley. While nothing beats fresh herbs, these are worlds better than dried. I am always popping them into sautees, soups, sauces and marinades.
