Until recently, gluten free eating has been a lifestyle choice for a relatively small group of people. People affected by gluten allergies or the more complex celiac disease were given few options, and the options that they had tasted uncannily like wet cardboard. Yuck. Luckily, as places like Trader Joe’s have become more aware of the need for gluten free products and gluten free recipes, the selection (and flavor) has increased.

You may have noticed a new line of products popping up in the refridgerated section of your nearest Trader Joe's. The ultimate in convenience, fresh "Quick Meals" are entrees made from a combination of two or more food groups that are ready to eat in 15 minutes or less. We tried 5 different kinds.
